Congress Is Full of Buffoons

The United States Congress regularly makes me so angry because they can’t come together to agree on the simplest of good legislation. To get anything passed that benefits us, the public, favors have to be exchanged, irrelevant pork having noting to do with a bill has to be added and on and on.

Alas, we only have ourselves to blame. We elect many Congress men and women based on their hollow promises and their charm and wit on the campaign trail. Instead we should be looking at their accomplishments and character. But we all want to know “what are you going to do for me”! We, the people, need to restore respect to our legislative bodies in Washington. There is an election coming up in November and we need to toss out some of the garbage and replace it with men and women of character.

Maybe you think your representatives are doing a good job for you. I ask you to do your homework this fall and weed out those members who don’t cut the mustard. We might start by eliminating the criminals representing us. Consider these facts I’ve recently discovered about our esteemed representatives in the United States House of Representatives:

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time in jail for assault

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Are these the people you would like to represent you in our nation’s lawmaking body? Please, do just a little research on the candidates before you go into the voting booth in November. Our county is counting on YOU.
