I just added a new link to my sponsors (see the right-hand sidebar) for BlowOutCongress.com. This website was started by Jeff Bolton, the 5-9am morning show host on KLIF – turn your dial to 570 AM if you are in the Dallas area.
I think this effort is a great idea, because all the politicians in DC are liars and thieves. We need to send them packing. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not just talking about the Democrats. All of the Republicans are completely spoiled brats, too. The entire bunch of politicians view us as line-items on their own personal budget – sources of income (e.g. taxpayers) instead of citizens of this country. I wrote a short post about it here.
Grassroots efforts like this are popping up all over the place. Just Google search for keywords like replace congress or remove incumbents. These organizations are a natural progression of the underlying feelings of many citizens of this country, and they are best demonstrated by the recent reception many politicians have received from their own constituents. Here are a few examples:
Lloyd Doggett’s meeting on Obamacare in Austin, TX – 1 Aug 2009
This guy is in Austin, Tx, one of the few blue counties in Texas. Look at his face -he doesn’t really care about any of these people. In fact, as you will see in the video, he just quits the meeting and tries to leave. We don’t want quitters for our elected officials.
Russ Carnahan Gets Laughed At
This one is great. Here’s an idiot spouting off the lines he’s been spoonfed about saving money by spending money on healthcare, and his own constituents just laugh.
