The jets are just a symptom of the problem. Problem actually is the folks who go to the polls and elect these idiots. [Let's agree, first, that NONE of these yahoos would be in office if they weren't voted in...with the exception of Senator Burris and maybe one or two other appointees in the House].
So the problem is with the voters.
Now, you and I know that ACORN isn't active in EVERY community in EVERY congressional district...so it's NOT the ACORN folks who keep electing morons. It's folks right here in our own congressional districts, even in our own precincts, who are voting for the continuation of the stupidity that's going on in both Washington and in the state legislatures.
But maybe it's not "only" the folks who vote...maybe a BIG part of the problem is the HUGE segment of the eligible voters who DON'T go to the polls. Lots of folks, for various reasons, simply don't vote...in some election years, nearly half of eligible voters don't bother to go vote.
But you can bet that the folks ACORN sign up go to the polls!
If this HALF of the voting population would vote, odds are we wouldn't have folks saying that their representatives don't represent their views. So that's HALF the problem. The other half of the problem is that the political parties won't field a decent candidate if they have even HALF a notion that the clueless incumbent might get re-elected. Look at the 2010 Senate race in Kentucky, for example...until Bunning said he wasn't going to run, NO qualified candidates had announced they were going to challenge him. FAR too often these days, it's all about which PARTY keeps the seat, and NOT about getting the most qualified INDIVIDUAL in the seat.
So the best we can do for a solution is to VOTE...then vote OUT anyone who's served more than a couple of terms. And encourage your friends and neighbors to VOTE, and help make sure they can get to the polls no matter WHO they're voting for...because NONE of MY friends and neighbors were registered by ACORN, and I'll bet it's the same for most of you.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
