Unhappy Americans must take radical actions to get their country back
September 1, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
According to Rasmussen – which occasionally takes time off it’s right-wing power slide to do a right-wing biased poll – 57 percent of Americans would get rid of the entire U.S. Congress if they could.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% would vote to replace the entire Congress and start all over again. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure how they would vote.
Overall, these numbers are little changed since last October. When Congress was passing the unpopular $700-billion bailout plan in the heat of a presidential campaign and a seeming financial industry meltdown, 59% wanted to throw them all out. At that time, just 17% wanted to keep them.
It seems, however, that these 59 percent may be unaware that they could take radical action to change the face of Congress. By voting for change. Because the complaints about the U.S. government fall on deaf ears when you see numbers like these:
“399 House members sought reelection. How many won? 382. This gives us a 95.73% reelection rate.”
So, sure, it’s completely understandable that many in the U.S. feel a disconnect from Congress. Maybe one of these days they’ll catch on to the fact that they can vote the bums out.

Rasmussen’s chief product is “polls for desperate neocons”.
