Sometimes, in the great scheme of things, a series of random events occur that combine to produce a “perfect storm”. America now finds itself in the midst of a “perfect political storm”. We’ve elected the most radically leftist president in history, and gifted him with a congress made up of a super majority of his political allies. The combination of a media driven hatred of George W. Bush, an imploding economy, excessive corporate greed, public and private sector incompetence and other less publicized conditions lead to an almost incomprehensible defeat of 8 Republican Senators and 40 Republican Congressmen last Nov. Incomprehensible because the Democratically controlled congress had the lowest approval rating in history for much of 2008. It was 11% last October. So why would American voters reward this kind of utter failure by re-electing the likes of John Murtha, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, John Kerry, Richard Durbin, Carl Levin and so many other incompetent fools? Simple, media bias, hatred of GWB, and an uninformed or uninterested electorate.

Many of our congressional representatives have been ignoring the will of their constituents for far too long and yet we continually re-elect them. On issues of illegal immigration, energy policy, bailouts, budget, terrorism etc. they consistently vote to weaken this nation. They cram pork barrel earmarks into bills at a time when we can least afford them, and then pass those bills unread. They give themselves 10% raises each year, vote themselves excessive benefits packages, receive their full pay for life, are showered with gifts from lobbyists in return for special favors, and this will never change as long as congress has the power to pass laws on their own behalf. In January of this year, the US Congress voted to raise their yearly expense accounts by $93,000 each. That’s in addition to the $1.6m of petty cash they already receive per member.
