I'm badly disgusted with current spending, unfulfilled promises that are forgotten before the ballot ink is dry, and incumbents that flip and flop like politicians without money. Screwemall. It's my country, my money, and I want em both back. I'll never vote for another incumbent. They must go.

I agree tar and feathers. Now lets see if we can get others to do the same.

Our leaders are clearly corrupt. Rather than being upfront with their pork, they hide it in important legislation. The president adds to the problem by just signing away. We need to replace them all. I will never vote for a sitting legislator again. Out with them all.

Oh My goodness. ABC News just put out a story that was somewhat critical of Democrats.

Stop the presses.

It's essential to get Congress to pass mandatory disclosure of who sponsored ear-marks, in order to link ear-marks to campaign contributions and lobbying activities. That will allow the ethics committee's and federal investigators to investigate potential improprieties. Any member of Congress who doesn't support mandatory disclosure of ear-marks should be voted out of office!

Disgusting! I too will not vote for any encumbants!

Critical of Democrats? Please. You've managed to name one Southern Democrat, one Republican, and Lieberman. Not a true Democrat in the bunch.

I wish you would quit living your lives vicariously watching Faux News. I'm a democrat. If you have read my thoughts you know I don't blindly defend democrats. I don't see a worthwhile leader in ether party. This is more data to support my contention playing party politics is a continuation of the problem. Both parties do a great job of letting Americans down. Ether party will secure our boarder. They sell America jobs out. They see their job as buying off contributors for the next election. Hilary tops the list in contributions from the health care industrial complex.Fienstien's husband as cut a fat hog from defense contracts. See, liberal try to be balanced.

All Pork Stuffing should be made public befoe the presidential election. Democracts and known to use such methods as well as Republicans to buy votes. The Democracts claim to be reformers on Congress.

The public needs to know so that such information will be posted in the media during election time.

Congress is totally irresponsible, and continues to demonstrate their lack of fiscal responsibility, continues to fail to correct the excesses of the judicial system, and continues to give themselves raises, while denying raises to citizens.

Both political parties serve their own interests, and not the interests of the citizens.

It's true - both Republicans and Democrats are disappointing to me. We need to make two immediate changes in Washington. First, kick out all the lobbyists and special interest groups, and second, FORCE congress and the senate to pass term limits for themselves like they have for every other branch of local, state and federal government.

$18 million for homeland security-related research at three universities is bathering too much.
Educational research grant to university is subject to university's accounts and audit process.
Who will question over $7.00 Billion gone for WTC reconstruction.
Tallest Building in World of UAE costs $1.00 B only.

Dems, or Reps.......it doesn't matter. Politics opens the door for coruption. I read of a pork project years ago, where 6 figures was awarded to some university for the purpose of studying how fast ketchup flows out of a bottle. There is no difference between the politician that slips the waste through via piggy-backing or disguising as something else......and someone like Ted Stevens.

Gee, I agree with Tar 'n Feathers, AC, Don, and Claude. So that's five of us. Who we gonna' vote for?

Replace all Capital Hill's seat warmers. A friend of mine new to the Hill told me that on average, each member spends 17 days out of the month doing the people's (us), work and the rest making appearances to stock the coffers for the next election.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT and start fresh!

I agree. There's not a dime worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats anymore. They are all corrupt and out to line their own pockets. We desperately need to resolve to send them home, start over and hold them responsible for their votes.... Will we do that? If we don't we are all lost.

Vote tham all out!

Vote them all out ? Removing the incumbents without changing the system will make matters worse. New (and inexperienced) members of Congress will be easy pickings for the experienced lobbyists with their free "information" and for the entrenched bureaucrats who control the information and the operation of the government.

All of you declaring the Democrats as bad as Republicans are full of dodo. Yeah, no one is perfect. Even if any one of you were elected, you would have preferences and favorite projects and positions that others would disagree with. Lets weigh the positions/projects of each candidate with respect to their positive impact on the poor, the marginal citizens of this country, and on racial, gender, sexual, and class justice and equality. Keeping in mind PEACE, healthcare, security, and economic stability. We are all TOO selfish, too bigoted, too closed minded.
