Is there any one single member of either party currently serving in the U.S. Congress that you admire, that you believe speaks independently, that you feel you can listen to and not get just the prescribed "line" of his political party? Is there any one member that you believe is a real leader, that you would listen to and depend on to "do the right thing" for this country?

Those are questions that every voter should be asking himself. My answer is not a single one!

There is not one single member of the House or Senate that I believe adds anything positive to the Congress and should be returned to that position in order to provide governance for this country. Not a single one has earned the right to be sent back, in my opinion. And that's the way I'll use my vote in 2012. Oh, there may be a few who go to Washington with the intention of governing responsibly. But they soon are taught to toe the party line, vote the way they'rte instructed to vote, and say what they've been told to say publicly. If this is democracy, do we think thjis is the best form of governance?

In the meantime, I don't intend to waste even one single minute listening to or watching campaign events, ads, meetings or debates. I am of the opinion that any of those running for office...all of them...will say anything they think voters want to hear for the singular purpose of getting elected or re-elected.

I will not vote for an incumbent. If the person running against the incumbent member of the House or Senate is obviously incompetent or untrustworthy, I guess that means I simply won't vote.
