There might be a handful of sitting congressmen/senators that deserve to stay in their seats. Not more than about 5. One of the things i get most ticked off at is the fact that I feel there is no one representing my views and interests any more. Good comment David. TMD We should clean house in the next election.

That means: 1. The irrelevancy of the MSM is being tacitly acknowledged, 2. The sea change in the citizenry's participation in politics is starting to be acknowledged, 3. The likelihood that our representatives are beginning to see their political peril is increasing, and they will therefore have an ever increasing tendency to actually listen (granted-they have a long way to go.... but it's all moving in the right direction), and 4. Jefferson is being proved right once again.....

If you want to know why see-sawing John McCain has had to be goaded, prodded, begged, and dragged into spotlighting Barack Obama’s radical ACORN roots, here’s your answer:

Turns out John McCain had no problem calling ACORN members his friends during his ill-fated illegal alien shamnesty crusade.

The rally in Miami is being sponsored by the New American Opportunity campaign (NAOC) in partnership with ACORN, Catholic Legal Services – Archdiocese of Miami, Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Miami Dade College, People for the American Way/Mi Familia Vota en Acción, Service Employees International Union, and UNITE HERE.
