I'd personally let Ron Paul stay, but that's an impressive statistic. Of the remaining 43%, only 25% are actually sure they'd keep them. Maybe we have cause for hope? ...if they get just as fed up with the rest of the government, that is.

I remember last year there was a poll and about 50% of all Americans would rather pick random people out of the phone book than have current leaders...no confidence

But the problem is most people like THEIR member of congress. It's the other guy they want to kick out. Unfortunately, they don't get to vote out the other guy.

And the 25% that wants to keep them only feels that way out of fear of the unknown, and so FDR gets a third term.

I'd like to kick my representative out.

I agree. We should draft a bill that drops all representatives in Leg, Exec., and Judicial branches, and none of them can run again. I'm sure Ron Paul would agree to retire fore that.
