We need to clean house in Washington and replace every seat with people that know what it means to worry about keeping food in the fridge! As long as the only choices we have is Wealthy person A or Wealthy person B, nothing will ever change. I pray every day that our turn for revolution will come, people need to wake up and see whats really going on.

The pol shows up at these "town meetings" only equipped to SPEW TALKING POINTS, not -- not EVER -- listen to their constituents' concerns. Speaking as a registered Democrat, I'll readily admit that Dem pols are even more obnoxiously predictable in this regard than Republican politicians. The Democratic pols here in Massachusetts have NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in any sentiment unaccompanied by a sizable check. I watch so-called Arab Spring movement on news & wonder where has OUR courage gone? We SHOULD be aggressively demonstrating at a MINIMUM, but instead let these charlatans pick our pockets and tell us "We know what's best for you". I envy the Libyan young people that toppled Ghaddafi, I really do.
