Why do we support Pelosi/Reid?

[daa]

During all this "financial crisis" where they hurriedly approved the Bush Pauslon (GS Head) Bail-out, they also snuck through a vote to end the non-proliferation treaty by approving the sale of nuclear technology and material to India, who refuses to sign the treaty.

This is another Bushco deal and what are they thinking.

It is time to through out all incumbents, not just republicans. We are doing our part in Georgia and Saxby may go bye-bye.

1. I do not support either of those lying fools.

The question is why do Americans sit on their butts and do nothing? If all of these people who have called Congress in the last two days had been paying attention for eight years we would not be talking about this today. There is no empathy in this country only selfish citizens. Now can we talk about our soldiers that are dying? Can we get them the services that they desperately need? Can we get the troops in Afghanistan some relief before they are decimated. No, I am sorry, each American will have to lose one soldier that they know before they will get up, speak out and do something to save our troops.

2. Beats me. Sometimes I wonder why we support any of them.

Except for a handful, I would get rid of the whole lot and start over. This government is so large, no-one knows what the heck is going on any more. Least of all, those of us who have to pay the bill while they pretend to work on our behalf. If I worked as little as most do in Washington, I'd have been fired years ago. AS it is, I just got laid off. Company moving to a "cheaper labor" environment.

3. All it takes is a 50% majority in their state to support them -

Their constituents are the ones they are responsible to and they seem to like them ok because they keep re-electing them. I have to admit I'm glad people only get one vote per person.

I support Obama even though I may not agree with him on all the issues because I prefer him to McCain or the 3rd party candidates.

[daa]

4. I voted for Obama already becuase he is clearly a better choice

but we need to give him something to work with besides useless, old, lying retreads.

5. I don't support the bush cabal lapdogs

to which Reid and Pelosi have both shown they're a part.

6. I dont. Period.

[cosmopop1]

7. Better Idea

Instead of Reid/Pelosi, why not Feingold/Kuchinich???

[Angleae]

9. I don't, but here's the reason I believe others do.

10. I don't think many on DU do, but the corporations love them.
