Does the representative in your district deserve re-election?

[tangent4ronpaul]

listening to someone talk about - Charlie Cook of Cook Political Report.

Most polls say reps in general don't, but do think theirs does. Do they?

A recent poll had these results:
49% - Yes
40% - No

Now consider that out of the gate, without knowing who their opponent is, 40% want ANYBODY ELSE!

hmmm....

Short answer: Absolutely no.

 

[Kotin]

not at all.. but my liberty candidate lost the republican primary to a huge neocon tool.. so I am still trying to decide but I think I might be voting for the incumbant anyway.. the republican is so terrible.

No, Steny Hoyer does not deserve reelection.

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

Something depressing he said later was that in the past century, in only one case where a presidential candidate had won the seat from the other party, did they as an incumbent not win re-election.

We REALLY need to make that rwice! Obama's got a 67% disapproval rating and I don't know if this country can survive another 6 years of this BS. Besides, this is probably going to be out last chance to get RP a shot at the presidency. He is getting a bit old.

He thinks Repubs are going to win 40+ seats in the House and have a good chance of 10 seats in the Senate.

Henry Waxman does not deserve re-election. Though he will win in a landslide. I won't even vote in that race.

 

[QueenB4Liberty]

No, Michael McCaul does not deserve re-election.

 

[Koz]

No Boehner does not, he's a lock though in my district.

 

[akforme]

Don Young... could be worse he's 60% right but no.

 

[mikem317]

No, but I'll vote. I'll probably write-in myself.

 

[slothman]

Yes but only because she is a power person, high senority(sp), in the House.
She might actually listen to me, if I write, and could change laws.
If there were more candidates with more agreement of my issues then maybe.

I am for term limits, even 1(one) term.
I know people like Rep Ron Paul would be kicked out but imagine all the new folk who weren't already bribed, er lobeyied(sp), with new laws.
A proportional method would work better than this one.

P.S. I am happy with all my votes in the last two elections.
The pres candidate didn't get in, as I guessed but the others were good.

With the massive electoral turnover rate, wouldnt that make reps reliant on lobbyists to get the funding they need to win elections? Did agree that proportional representation though has certain merits to be (carefully) considered.

Ralph Hall, another typical Republican douchebag that needed to go a long time ago.

 

[Ninja Homer]

I don't like Michelle Bachmann's foreign policy, but she does help out Ron Paul on other things so I'll probably vote for her.

 

[zero]

Walter B. Jones is could do better, but he is a Liberty Caucus member and he did support Ron Paul in 2008 and I imagine he will probably support him again in 2012....

 

[Brett]

Compared to most Democrats mine has done well.
Too bad he's ranked as the most vulnerable Congressmen. one and done.

 

[ChaosControl]

No, not really. But she could be worse too. I wouldn't vote for her in the primary, but she is tolerable enough to vote for in the general.
I don't have the option to vote third party in the general due to the idiotic way my state does elections, otherwise I would.

Where i currently live, Bart Stupak isn't coming back

Where i live with my parents, Not really. He is a typical Neo-con. Opposed the bailouts and healthcare and all that big stuff, but he is still a neo-con. But he is pretty involved with the community in my city. He gets ice cream at my dads ice cream shop and he's a nice guy.
