It’s a little late to shape anyone’s opinion about Congress. We know what you’re all about and I hope you pay the price in every district in every state. I’m talking about Democrats and Republicans.
Written by GussDemocrats and Republicans are mounting a fierce battle to shape voter impressions of Congress during August’s political lull, convinced that they must define the story line of the 2008 congressional election before voters are swamped by the presidential campaign.
The opening salvo of television and radio advertisements, automated calls and fundraising appeals is unusually intense this early in the election cycle, and it comes just seven months after the Democrats took control of Congress.
But lawmakers, pollsters and Congress watchers say it is not clear whether the Democrats have convinced the public that they can do the job an angry electorate handed them in November — or whether, once again, all incumbents will be vulnerable next year, regardless of party.

Toss out the entire house and all the senators running for re-election. We’ll have to take 3 election cycles to clean the senate out, but it’s time for new people who want to do the people’s business and not be on TV all the time.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful. If I could have one wish, it would be for that.

Yeah, people would say we had newbies in there and they don’t know what’s going on. Well we had newbies who didn’t know what was going on in the First Congress and we managed just fine.
This government has gotten too big for its own good in more ways than one.

I think the problem is that we know the people in there now and we don’t trust them.
