Stoking the Fire (10/26)

posted by MaureenSchweers on October 26, 2024 - 8:49pm

More reasons why we need to join together to reunite our country:

  • Throw The Bums Out? According to the latest Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll, just 26% of registered voters say the average member of Congress deserves reelection; 45% say the U.S. would be better off if voters threw out most of Congress and started over with new people.
  • This Has Gotta Change: USA Today laments, "It's finally time to start focusing on the 2024 presidential race, because voting begins in ... um, let's see ... well, no one knows. ... You might expect a little more decorum and predictability from a process that's intended to pick the next leader of the free world. You'd be wrong. The U.S. presidential primary system continues to do its best to look like a roller derby."
  • Do Moderates Fit In The GOP Tent? In 2024, "Republican leaders are signaling they prize solidarity over outreach, and familiar thinking over independent ideas" -- and "this ideological inquisition among Republicans isn't confined to the presidential race," National Journal's Ron Brownstein writes. "But a case can be made that the party needs precisely the opposite."
  • Quotable: "The political system in Washington is broken. It does not function. It does not solve serious problems" -- Unity08's Doug Bailey.

Great point, bgood26. The same poll found that 50% think their own Rep. deserves to be reelected (and just 41% of independents).

I dug up an old CBS/NYT poll conducted 10/27-31/06 -- right before the '06 midterms, when change was on voters' minds. Back then, 49% said their own Rep. deserves reelection, while just 16% said most members of Congress deserve reelection. Fairly close to today's numbers.

So the desire for change is still out there... giving Unity08 a great opening to reform Washington from the top!

It's the nature of the beast to support the people who finagle and steal for you - human nature being what it is too many people don't care what happens to others as long as they get their's ..

You see folks that's just Part Of The Trillions Of Dollars in Social and Economic Burdens we The People Pay For States' Rights ..

We are no longer one nation under God, we are 50 Nations each grabbing every dime and program it can for it's nation, their politicians and active constituents ..

Add to that the fact that NOT ONE ELECTED OFFICIAL, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL, is required to submit A FORMAL RESUME & REFERENCES TO BE CHECKED AND PUBLISHED - OR SIGN A FORMAL CONTRACT ESTABLISHING JOB DESCRIPTION, REQUIRED STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, PERFORMANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY !!

MAUREEN, BGOOD .. WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE SLOPPY AND SHODDY WAY WE THE PEOPLE CONDUCT OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS CITIZENS ??!!

Pete's Plan for Political Reform - IS THE ONLY PUBLISHED PLAN ON THE TABLE, that addresses these issues .. YET EVEN HERE ON UNITY08, only a handful of Delegates have responded intelligently - and the Founders NOT AT ALL ..

If I didn't possess the proven skills and life experiences of my 83 Years, I would think I must be wrong and give up the fight - such is not the case AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING UP THE FIGHT ..
