Fire everyone in congress?

I've been thinking about this. Ever since they started shit with COICA, congress has shown no improvement. I believe that the problem is that we voted too many idiots. It would be easy if we just fired everyone in congress, and just start over. Why still? SOPA, NDAA 2012, PATRIOT ACT. What do they have in common? They're bad bills, let alone laws. There are more laws like this, and Obama isn't doing shit about this. Instead he's just letting them through. The whole reason to have a president is to enforce laws. What happened here?

This site has more info.

Perhaps putting a technocratic system in for short time to fix the issues wouldn't be a bad idea. It would stop people focusing on non-issues and actually allow them to take on the real fight.

fire them all? no.

hang them all in public so the next patch of congressmen can see what happens when you do stupid shit? yes please!

[Familyguy666]

You know as agreeable as that sounds, I don't think that would work though. I still think just kicking them out is enough, no dealth penalty needed.

I agree, Congress has been incompetent bastards for years. If not fire them, at least cut thier salaries by 75%

For what it's worth, I won't be voting for any incumbent in 2012 (barring possibly Obama, depending on his opponent). I don't get to vote for every rep/senator, but if I could, then yes, I would vote against every one of them.

[Korriken]

meh, I don't see why we can't execute them all....

Problem is, you can't just throw them all out so easy, most of them are in there due to their vote farms keeping them in. (yeah you know what I mean, the crowd of drooling zombies on both sides that vote for the stupid sumbitch, all the while bitching about how bad congress is)

and if you can't kick them ALL out, the ones that stay in are gonna end up corrupting the new guys.

as long as they still belong to the same two parties, your flushing piss out with piss.

Exactly. It's not that they're stupid, as the O.P. seems to think. It's that they are sold-out whores. If you want to know why they do what they do, don't listen to a word that comes out of their lying mouths. Those are just excuses for the rubes -- and yeah, they sound stupid, but it's better to be thought a fool than a treasonous corporate puppet, which is actually the truth.

Follow the money. Look where their campaign financing comes from. Consider that Supreme Court Justices and other appointees are appointed by this crop of traitorous sold-out whores, and suddenly, everything will make perfect sense.

Not stupid. Greedy, evil and smart.

depends on what you call "working in other countries" Given that there are many bans on drugs in places like the UK based on them costing too much. Can the person needing the drug pay? no, they're not allowed to. They can't get the drug if the overlord doesn't like how much it's going to cost to keep you alive/well.

My parents were dirt poor. when my mother had cancer, she got the care she needed from a charity hospital. unfortunately it was detected way too late and she died from it. why? she didn't know she has cancer until one day her body was suddenly wracked in intense pain.

I would not be completely against a centralized health care system if it wasn't run by our government. Given how well the government runs our educational system (lolfuckingjoke) I can't imagine ANYTHING going wrong with running the health care system /sarcasm.

Good point, our being the key word there. However, I am not one of those who believe government is inherently bad, but ours is... well, I won't say "as corrupt as they come," because one can always find something worse, but for reasons I mentioned in my previous post, it's way up there on the corruption scale.

As for that "education" system, it was not designed to educate, but to indoctrinate and condition. The monsters who set it up wanted, as George Carlin rightly pointed out (paraphrase, from memory), "OBEDIENT WORKERS! OBEDIENT WORKERS! Just smart enough to do the books and run the machinery, but not smart enough to notice the big red, white and blue dick being jammed up their asses."

"Of the people, by the people and for the people" are just pretty words. If that were the government we actually had, we could trust it with both education and health care. The problem is, it isn't, and it isn't.

Every time there is an election I find myself saying, "This is the best we can do?"

But politicians care about votes and power. Votes give them power which = $$$$

I have lost all faith in our leaders. There is either a lack of intelligent people in this country or government just attracts them.

As I said, they're not stupid, but they know a majority of voters are. Consider how dumb average is. Now, contemplate the fact that half are even dumber than that.

The official, stated reasons for passing certain unconstitutional bills and getting us into various nonsensical wars don't make a lick of sense, but they don't have to. They're not the real reasons anyway, but it's better to be thought a fool than a traitorous sold-out whore, which is actually the case.

About 65% of the public will parrot those stupid reasons ("Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!") while nodding sagely, thinking they are wise and well-informed because they watch Faux Noise or some crap like that. About 35% thinks our "elected" officials are simply stupid and misguided. Only about 5% realizes that they are treasonous Machiavellian con artists who do everything for campaign donations and other under-the-table bribes, and that their real reasons are never what they say they are.

Those last two groups can safely be ignored, particularly the 5%. This is a DEMOCRACY, by damn! The people have spoken! It's a MANDATE! Hooray!

Oops. I meant 30%. My figures didn't add up. I originally wasn't going to include the last 5%, but then I did and forgot to change the second number.

I'll stick by the 65% who believes anything they're told, however. That's the percentage Stanley Milgram proved trusts authority so much, they'll shock another human being to death on orders from an authority figure.

Milgram's 65% would be your "Good Nazis."
