Whatever sad shape Congress may be in, it's totally thanks to the American voter who keeps putting the same buffoons in office election after election after election after election after election after election etc. The ones we curse the most (regardless of party affiliation) spend longer in Congress 2-years-at-a-time than the best professional athletes ever have as careers, and a lot longer than most Americans ever do with the same employer.

So, let's fix Congress this time and in 2010 fire them all in the House and the 1/3rd of the Senate up for election then. If we don't, there should be no complaint.

And this is all of them, no matter what the party affiliation. For those dyed-in-the-wool Republicans or Democrats, the "change" can occur by dumping the incumbent come the primary election.
