   If this is the attitude, why do incumbents get re-elected? Right, “He may be a crook, but he’s MY crook”.

   Pollsters have noticed an interesting phenemenon for a while now. Everyone in Congress is crooked and worthless except for ‘my’ guy. Now if ‘your’ guy screws up publically( no pun intended, reeeealy) this alters.

    sometimes one votes for the lesser of two evils.

    it seems the current system breeds corruption … need to raise lots of money for next election …. and the deep pockets willing to give lots of money are the same ones walking the halls of congress seeking favors, exemptions and other legislation for their own self-interest

    The other problem is that between the seniority system and the fact that the jobs involved really are complex do you really want a newbie representing your state or district?

    Depends on who the newbie is. I could think of several who could do a whole lot better job than the dorks allegedly “representing” me now.

    Instead of the stimulus package, I would prefer a one way trip to any country in the world for all the supporters of Obama.
    But they would have to deny they are an American citizen and never attempt to come back.
    If most of them left this alone would solve all the problems in America.

    Boy stiper, you really hate democracy, don’t you? You’re asking more than half the voters to leave because you don’t like what they want.

    If it was really democracy I would have no problems with it. As far as half the voters voting for Obama that is not correct either. Acorn and other adenitis had different people voting up to 10 times each for Obama. If their was no cheating Obama would still be the most liberal senator in Washington from one of the worst off financially states in the union.

    Here is the web link for the hate crimes act or “Pedophile Protection Act.” That Obama and the Democrats are trying to so hard to get signed into law. It has already passed the house on party lines. Democrats for it and Republicans against it.

    I just got this today. It mentions Canada’s hate crime and the similarity between the democrats one.
    Senate Democrats are Pushing for Vote on the ‘Pedophile Protection Act’ –

    ALERT: There’s a dangerous bill sitting in the U.S. Senate right now – one that liberal Senators want to sneak through without anyone stopping them. If this bill that the U.S. House passed isn’t STOPPED in the Senate, here’s what can happen, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX):
    If a mother hears that their child has been raped and she slaps the assailant with her purse, she is now gone after as a hate criminal because this is a protected class. There are other protected classes in here. I mean simple exhibitionism. I have female friends who have told me over the years that some guy flashed them, and their immediate reaction was to hit them with their purse. Well now, he’s committed a misdemeanor, [and] she has committed a federal hate crime because the exhibitionism is protected under sexual orientation… You see someone spying on you changing clothes and you hit them – they’ve committed a misdemeanor; you’ve committed a federal felony under this bill. It is so wrong.
    Rep. Gohmert is right: IT IS SO WRONG!

    But now, the Senate is ready to PASS that bill and send it to Barack Obama to sign into law –

    Whatever happened to “equal justice for all”? As Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) stated, “Under this bill, justice will no longer be equal. Justice will now depend on the race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other protected status of the victim. It will allow different penalties to be imposed for the same crime. This is the real injustice.”

    Look, we all know that every year, many violent crimes are committed out of hate. But just as many violent crimes, if not more, are motivated by something other than hate – whether it’s greed, jealously, desperation, or revenge, to name a few. A person’s motivation for committing a violent crime is usually complex, and often we can only guess as to why he or she did it.

    Every violent crime is deplorable – regardless of its motivation. Every violent crime can be devastating not only to the victim and their family, but also to the larger community whose sense of safety has been violated. That’s why ALL violent crimes must be vigorously prosecuted.

    But this bill goes MUCH, MUCH FARTHER that simply prosecuting violent crime – it creates a new “protected class” of people that would now be protected under “hate crimes” definitions. That means that this bill will protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or “Paraphilias” listed by the American Psychiatric Association! This would provide a HUGE MASS of “sacred cows” in our society, which includes pedophiles who would be given elevated protection – giving “the offender” an additional decade behind bars.

    And that “offender” could be YOU! If a pedophile tries to molest your daughter, or your nephew, or your granddaughter, or some little boy in the street – if you step in and beat the pedophile to get him away, YOU could spend ten years in prison for your “offense”!

    I am NOT exaggerating this. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), who supports this horrendous bill, admitted that the bill would protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy listed by the APA. Here’s what Hastings said on the floor of the U.S. House itself:
    This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these “Philias” and fetishes and “isms” that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.
    Apparently, supporters of this bill have no problem with sexual deviants, including pedophiles, getting a higher level of protection against you and me!

    Don’t think that some people in the House didn’t try to stand up against the Thought Police crowd. The House version of the so-called “hate crimes” bill was adopted on a 249-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the draconian law.

    For example, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) offered an amendment that was very simple: “The term sexual orientation as used in this act or any amendments to this act does not include pedophilia.”

    The majority Democrats refused to accept that amendment – or any OTHER amendment along the same lines!

    Far-leftist Senators Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) have introduced the bill into the Senate. However, because of the OUTRAGE they’re hearing from their constituents – YOU AND ME – they’re going to try to sneak in through by adding it as an amendment to a completely different bill… and Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid has reaffirmed his plans to have the Senate vote on this dangerous bill before Congress’ August recess!

    In George Orwell’s classic book, “1984,” the State was constantly cracking down on what they called “thought crimes” – that is, you didn’t face prosecution just because of what you DID – but also because of what you THOUGHT.

    That is EXACTLY what this so-called “hate crimes” bill will do – it blurs the lines between violent belief, which is constitutionally protected, and violent action, which is not. If we go down this road, where does it end? With speech monitors and thought police?

    As Janet Porter of Faith2Action noted, “Pushing away an unwelcome advance of a homosexual, transgender, cross-dresser or exhibitionist could make you a felon under this law. Speaking out against the homosexual agenda could also make you a felon if you are said to influence someone who pushes away that unwelcome advance. And pedophiles and other sexual deviants would enjoy an elevated level of protection while children, seniors, veterans, and churches would not.”

    Rep. Gohmert warned that this law would be used against pastors – or anyone else – who speaks against homosexuality or other alternative sexual lifestyle choices, saying that it provides that anyone who through speech “induces” commission of a violent hate crime “will be tried as a principal” alongside the active offender.

    Critics say that would allow for prosecutions against pastors who preach on biblical opposition to homosexuality if someone who hears such a message later is accused of any crime. A pastor’s sermon could be considered “hate speech” under this legislation if it’s heard by someone who then commits an act of violence against someone based on “sexual orientation.” The pastor could be prosecuted for “conspiracy to commit a hate crime”. Don’t think it could happen?

    It already is.

    Similar state laws have already resulted in persecution for Christians. In Philadelphia several years ago, a 73-year-old grandmother was jailed for trying to share Christian tracts with people at a homosexual festival. In Canada, which already has severely restrictive “hate crime” laws, government “Human Rights Commissions” review any “suspect” speech or actions that might be perceived as being against any of their “protected classes.”

    So today, Canada has a major national magazine, a federal political party leader and a registered political party, a major Catholic newspaper (Catholic Insight) and an internationally renowned journalist (Mark Steyn) – all of whom are being investigated by appointed “hate speech therapists” from the commissions. Even Focus on the Family, one of the largest Christian publishing and broadcasting organizations in the nation, has admitted that it has been reviewing, and if necessary editing, its broadcasts to avoid complications with Canadian “hate crimes” laws.

    THIS IS WHAT WE FACE IN OUR FUTURE – unless we take action NOW to stop this bill in the Senate!
