Default Stop Thinking!!!

How many times have we said to ourselves or others or heard someone say "WHAT ARE THEY THINKING" or were they thinking.
And thats the problem they are,

1.WE don't elect them to think,we elect them to do what the majority tells them to do.
2.WE don't elect them to think about whats best for us,they don't know anymore about whats right for us, as I would know whats best for you or you for me.
3.We don't elect them to think of ways to waste our tax dollars,our tax dollars should be to protect this great nation and for necessary services,( ie,police,fire roads ect.) not to bailout foolish companies our individuals.
4.We don't elect them,to go aroud kissing the labor unoins butts.
5.And we sure as heck DID NOT elect them to think of how to destroy our beloved country.

So lets stop the thinking in Washington
Its time to elect some LISTENERS and do away with the THINKERS

Well, we ACTUALLY elect them because they say they think like us...once they're in, we've given them the green light to continue thinking just as they have been...

2.WE don't elect them to think about whats best for us,they don't know anymore about whats right for us, as I would know whats best for you or you for me.

what they think about, is re-election. So they 'think' about what they could do to maintain the support of those people most likely to vote in November.

3.We don't elect them to think of ways to waste our tax dollars,our tax dollars should be to protect this great nation and for necessary services,( ie,police,fire roads ect.) not to bailout foolish companies our individuals.
not true...the MOST SUCCESSFUL politicians are those who bring the pork back into their states....witness the longevity of Ed Kennedy and the bajillions of tax dollars he was able to get back into Massachussetts for public works projects (the Big Dig) and the like. People vote their own self-interest.

4.We don't elect them,to go aroud kissing the labor unoins butts.
But labor unions and their memberships do !


5.And we sure as heck DID NOT elect them to think of how to destroy our beloved country.
ask 'em....they're not destroying it...they're making it better. IT's when the uneducated vote for the unqualified to do the unimaginable.

So lets stop the thinking in Washington

No, we need DOERS....those who will dismantle the trash foisted upon us over the last 18 months of socialist rule.

Cool

Our country is a Republic, not a Democracy. The practice is NOT to hold a referendum on every issue. We vote for our representatives to represent us. We won't always agree with every choice they make and to think we should is somewhat uninformed and, perhaps, a bit naive.

We vote for certain candidates with the expectation that we share a basic orientation, not that we are in complete agreement on every issue. We vote Republican because that maximizes the likelihood that we will end up with policies, judges, etc., more in sympathy with our basic philosophy than we would have with the Democrats.

I disagree/agree,if they are not LISTENERS how can they be DOERS of what we want done? remember they work for us!
But I agree that 100% of thier doing is to get re-elected,And thats why we also need term limits.
They need to stop thinking about re-election and listen to what WE THE PEOPLE WANT them to do.

I disagree. THey've been elected by people who have SUPPOSEDLY paid attention to who they were voting for. An elected WIN is confirmation that the candidate THINKS most like the people who voted for him. He don't have to think so much anymore, except how to keep his constituency happy.

And I also disagree about term limits...we already have THE MOST EFFECTIVE method of term limits available....it's called THE BALLOT BOX. The fact that schmucks choose not to use their vote to remove bad politicos or to install good ones is indicative of the fact that people have no more sense of civic duty and pride as Americans. Term limits cut both ways...they remove bums, but they also remove gems as well. Best to let the voters decide.

TRUE,I don't expect to agree with every choice they make,I except that what I want may not be what the majority wants,but soon after being elected they stop representing there constituents and start representing thier campaign contributers so I guess we need to look closely at where thier campaign funds come from to know if they THINK as we do.

we need to see more than that. Obama got money from everyone...wall street, BP, and all the democrat unions and 98% of blacks. More important was in witnessing his associations with Ayers and Wright....the Blagojevich debacle....his parentage, lack of family life and acclimatization to a Muslim lifestyle...the fact that he had no experience....all of this SHOULD have played into the equation. So what happened ? Can't blame the media, becuase as free men, and thinkers, we should have been able to zero in on those clues to determine this pile of puke was no good. Yet, there were other factors, besides money, that determined his rise to power and the impending destruction of the republic.

I'm thinking about voting for a 3rd party candidate for governor here...I don't really like the repub or the demo,

I don't like the idea of throwing away a vote though.

We need that system where you vote for a 1st choice, and a 2nd choice, and then your vote gets transferred, ie from a 3rd party candidate to your 2nd party candidate choice...
