I always vote against the incumbent. We have the opportunity to completely change our government every four years.
The biggest problem is congress. Some of those congressmen have been there a long time.
Politics is not a profession, it is a service to the people and the country. Let us try to clean it up and keep it fresh.
Vote anti-incumbent. You get to vote them out next time when you vote anti-incumbent again.
Yea, Obama is in it for the money, because Obamacare is so popular with the insurance companies and he has investments in all the insurance companies and insurance company super pacs giving money to him. OH WAIT, the insurance companies are funding Romney's camp.
No, democrats get accused of being bought too. No, while some big business donates to them even OBAMA SAID just yesterday that he thought all the funding of campains EVEN HIS was absurd. He only takes it because he has to to compete with Romney, and he hated the Citizens United ruling. If Obama was out for money why denounce it?
And dems always strongly support things that don't make money, like public projects, worker training, PBS, food stamps, unemployment benifits, workers unions. And some rich people DO support those things too, just not enough at the level of the Koch Brothers.
Dems are carreer politicians yes, and to be fair, even with that we should have term limits. BUT they do and have constantly fought for the middle class and working poor.
Only one party is bought. When dems raise money, they are for the commonwealth, not the common wealthy.
