Join the throw the bums out party

I am now in the “throw the bums out- every time” party. If you have a repug -throw him out in 2010. If you have a dem throw him out. Then in 2012 throw them both out again and if it takes through 2014 to get the attention of the powers that be throw them out again. As long as incumbents win most of the time we voters have very little impact and they are only beholden to their corporate /money bosses. If they can’t get re-elected no matter how much money they spend they will have to pass public financing for campaigns and we are one step closer to taking back our democracy.

Public financing for campaigns is a two-fer. If they rely on public financing we get real candidates with real beliefs and they do not spend their days fundraising they spend it working for us and (hopefully ) good government.

This is easy here in Texas because most of the bums are repugs but it has to be done in dem states as well. After all they are all bums any way having voted for the junk insurance mandate and giveaway to the corrupt insurance companies. If they can’t stay in they do less harm. Now this is not to say that we don’t try to get back to real reps that can pass real laws but for the next 4 years of more we need to give that up to reach our goals.
