Don’t Kill Our American Politicians; Only Kill the Ignorant Voters that Put Them in Office First; is it Time For Americans to Start Voting Washington Incumbents Out?
By Marc Chamot

If you thought that it would take a new presidential elections to bring in desperately needed changes for America, you’re quite mistaken. It will take a whole lot more than that to reverse America’s economic and social decline.

Voting incumbents out of the United States congress and senate is the only way to go in cleaning up a messed up Washington American political structure.

True change for Americans means complete house cleaning, like ridding the states, U.S. senate and congress out the trash they’ve got now. And that means every one! All Democrats, Independents and Republicans!

Until that happens folks there will never be any kind of real change for Americans no matter who the president of the United States may be.

While most states around the union have enacted term limits through voters initiatives even our presidency is termed out after eight years but only our United States congress and senate refuse to vote themselves to be termed out.

The problems with America are these career politicians in both the U.S. congress and senate that will never go away in governing America no matter how badly they do it and they know it.

Are troubled times looming? There’s been a lot of talk about assassinations lately, mainly assassinating public leaders and including a presidential candidate.

It shows how America has become an angry and neglected nation from negligent and neglectful politicians and the chaos in social ills in this country is spiraling downwards and getting worse.

Never before has America had such chatter about political assassinations until recently it’s very troubling for us and our politicians in Washington are still not getting it. They have completely lost touch with the American people.

Unfortunately American politicians are what the voters make them out to be. A lot of American voters don’t do their homework when choosing a candidate. In fact a good portion of American voters likes to stick their heads in the sand and enclosing themselves into a world of sheer ignorance in political issues and their candidates.

In earlier times American schools had fair civic instructions and political educations that taught kids about our political structures in America. This is missing in the United States today. If it’s not entirely missing, then certain political groups and machines are exploiting it to their advantage.

I do not believe in political assassinations in any democratic society especially in ours, it’s morally and totally wrong.

However I do believe in political assassinations in dictatorship governments where the people are being oppressed like in Cuba, North Korea, China, Iran, Myanmar and Venezuela to name a few.

There is a big difference between oppressive and neglectful governments. Americans aren’t being oppressed but their elected politicians are neglecting them big time.

Somehow American politics has lost sight of its people and has become more of a corporate and special interests style of governance for the few rather than looking out for the American people at large.

American politicians today care more for illegal alien’s rights in keeping their jobs here rather than for Americans who are losing theirs at a higher rate. These same politicians care more for the financing industry that strangleholds Americans into more debts than saving them from these debts. They also care more for China’s industries and economy rather than our own.

What happening in America today is not totally the elected politicians fault, it’s the voters’ fault for not being totally informed about their candidates before election time.

Americans like to vote with their hearts rather than with their brains. They vote for whom they know, a name that they hear about and recognize rather than for the unknown.

This is the problem facing American elections today. Our political structure today is so heavily set up for the incumbency that new fresh politicians, new blood into American politics are being shut out. These incumbents know that Americans vote this way and it gives them no incentives to do better.

While most states around the union have enacted term limits through voters initiatives even our presidency is termed out after eight years but only our United States congress and senate refuse to vote themselves to be termed out.

The only way folks to clean up America are through a mass voters revolt, by ridding our U.S. congress and senate of all incumbents! It’s the only way for that ever-elusive true change that Americans are looking for.
