Since my Rep. is a Tea Party member why would I vote him out?

That means that 83% should be voted out, but, of course, that won't happen.

What is the opinion of their reps
Congress as a body not being popular is as old as the republic itself. |

My Representative is a right minded man. One of my Senators isn't fit to be a greeter at WalMart. The other is OK about 80% of the time, except for the gun control legislation he involved himself in. Don't know how I can vote for him again.

Congress as a body not being popular is as old as the republic itself. Yep. Stupid statistic. Made even more stupid by the fact that you could get rid of every sitting member of Congress and the people who replaced them voted in by those same voting blocs would ensure little to nothing would change. The politicians aren't the problem -- they're a symptom of it. |

When surveyed, people tend to have a low opinion of Congress as a whole. Yet when asked about their congressman, people tend to support him. That's why a very high percentage of congressmen get re-elected time after time. This is a direct result of single-member districts, where the representative fits sentiments of the local constituents rather than the sentiments of the national population.

"Everybody but my guy" We have a Tea Party supported Rep, one real R senator, and a D senator who's up this year, hopefully he'll get dumped for another good R. |
