Along the way politicians lost sight of the fact that (a) their job is to protect & preserve the Constitution (their reputations and legacies be damned); (b) they represent the people rather than themselves; and (c) that if what the people want and/or what the politician wants goes against the Constitution, then the Constitution wins. Too, They've convinced themselves that the Constitution is a 'living' document. Were the Constitution to have been a 'living' document, the Founding Fathers would have left no doubt and made crystal clear their intent was to have a flexible document that was in a state of constant flux. The intended consequence of an in-flux Constitution is to radically alter these United States until it no longer resembles what the Founding Fathers established. We citizens must be ever vigilant to such modifications and rid Congress, other government agencies, and the White House of those traitorous, socialist-leaning vermin who dare to pretend to know what the Founding Fathers intended.

When a "politician" sees what the people appear to want, they begin to spout forth what they begin to know the people want to hear. Then they get elected and BOOM! Forget the people. "I'll do what I want. I know what's best...FOR ME!" We had, in my opinion one truly, honest Conservative Republican who won the office of the President more years ago than I like to admit to. Funny thing...he was an Actor. But he was not "acting" when he put forth his ideas and views for America. We need some way to make politicians stand by what they say prior to being elected. They should not be able to promise one thing, get elected and do anything but what they had promised. If we could vote out the liars, this country wouldn't be in the critical shape it is in today. God Bless America. Pray, folks...and Trust ONLY in God. All this Conservative/Republican talk matters not.

Unfortunately, that includes almost every member of the professional political aristocracy that has arisen in this country.That sickens me to the core of my soul. WE THE PEOPLE should be outraged, loud, and out for blood (figuratively speaking). We need to develop an operations plan (OPPLAN) that focuses on opposing and defeating all incumbents in the primaries and then in the general elections for the next 5-6 election cycles. That includes every election from the local to the national. Once we have removed the association of careerism with political office, we need to "encourage" those political servants to call for a Constitutional Amendment to emplace term limits and prevent anyone from receiving a retirement for having served in the Congress or Senate. It would not hurt to encourage them to pass a law to tax the retirement of those who do receive Senate or Congressional retirements at the 90% rate, with all revenues applied to the social security trust fund or the national debt. Makes sense for those who raped and robbed the system to repay what they stole. It is imcumbent on WE THE PEOPLE to take back our country and make sure that we peacefully, surely, and inexorably remove professional politicians from American society.

Actually I'm a little worried about that. Was Christee's group more corrupt than the Corzine group? No really how did that happen? Do not be fooled, keep an eye on all who seek office. Look what that woman in NY did. It looked like a spoiled child who didn't get their way so they hurt their parents anyway possible. Our leadership need to prove good citizenship, ethics, morals. Can they keep their emotions under control? Do they call citizens who oppose their ideas names? (I wonder if I can bring a "hate crime" agianst the speeker, their is no doubt in my mind that she "hates" me.) It all starts at the top baby!

While I agree wholeheartedly, I am not convinced the Republican Party has identified that yet. They certainly should have learned that lesson in NY-23. Conservatives have loosed the shackles that tied us to the Republicans. I was pretty blunt with a McDonnell caller a week or so ago when she called wanting my support: I am not a Republican, I am a conservative. If you run a conservative, I may vote for him/her. If you don't, I'll cast my vote for someone else. She certainly wasn't expecting that. We need to keep hammering Mr Cancemi's point through to them, over and over and over until they understand.

Talk about Alice in Wonderland, Pelosi is typical of all liberal's inability to face reality and their ability to create their own reality.
