WORTHLESS, DESPICABLE CONGRESSIONAL CESSPOOL

We no longer recruit the best candidates for office; we are simply satisfied with sending the guys with the biggest campaign budgets to Congress.  The longer they're in, the bigger their budgets get, because the more powerful they become the larger their contributions from corporations and rich donors are.  In the process, they forget whatever religious, ethical or moral teachings they ever had, (if any), and they become greedy and corrupt.  Those on the outside looking in who might make good and responsive leaders are disgusted at what they see and they shy away from running for election.  

Right now, Congress is at or below a 10 percent approval rating.  The Democrats are obstructionists and the Republicans are uncaring and inept.  Together, they make up a collaboration of dysfunction.  Nobody out here in the sticks is happy with any Member of Congress,  either because they are part of the problem or they won't stand up and do something about it.  

And, we're all madder than hell.  

It's up to us to fix the problem.  There's little more than 16 months before the next election.  Primaries are less than a year away in most states.  Yet, we should be out there scouting out potentially good men and women to replace those who are in office; the Dems should be looking for their candidates and the Republicans should be looking for theirs.  The object: field candidates we can elect in the primaries to take out the incumbents before they even stand the slightest of chances at reelection.  

Then, we can battle it out in November of 2018, knowing the corrupt, non-responsive, elitist bastards in office will all be removed.  And while we're at it, let's go ahead and set some term limits. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
