Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:20:59 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/?p=4580#comment-614289 Since I do not want to appear to be satisfied with just cracking jokes on Congress, I suggest that the third parties make a specific list of 3 representatives (in 2010) toward which all monies will be poured into campaigns to unelect them. By scattering money and time across a wide range of campaigns, the results end up the same. By using laser-like focus on a handful, it will gather the attention of our citizens when 3 to 5 of the Dems and Repub's lose in 2010 to third party candidates.

Oh wait, in the private sector you probably would no longer have a job if you performed that poorly.... Imagine getting a nice increase like that despite a 15% approval rating.

And isn't there an additional bit of hypocrisy that those silly bleeps get an automatic pay raise when they are wanting auto industry employees (notice I don't say "workers") to take a pay cut? Both union members and members of Congress are irresponsible, though very much responsible for the disaster that afflicts our entire economy. Between the two, I think Congress is more to blame, so members of Congress getting a pay raise when millions of people are out of work -- more than two million since the Democrats took control of Congress, coincidentally enough -- is downright criminal.
