Answer 1

Vote them out if ya don't like their actions. When I'm less then impressed by those that "represent" me and mine, I call their office and share my lack of enthusiasm with them.  And Nette On The Bayou is absolutely brilliant !   Ho-Rah!

Answer 2

Well then who is right in this posting? The asker sys one thing, Ri says another. How do we get the true facts? And will it even matter in the long wrong? We are a blessed country. It's us, the spoiled citizens that need a wake up call. ---------

"" Newsweek poll alleges that 67

                         Percent of Americans are unhappy with  the

                         Direction the country is headed and 69 percent of

                         The country is  unhappy with the performance of

                         The President.  In essence 2/3 of the citizenry

                         Just ain't happy and want a change.  'What

                         Are we so unhappy about?''

                                   A.. Is it that we have electricity and

                         Running water 24 hours a day,  7 Days a week?

                                   B.. Is our unhappiness the result of

                         Having air conditioning in the summer and heating

                         In the winter?

                                 C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of

                         These unhappy folks have a job?

                                   D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk

                         Into a grocery store at any time  and see more

                         Food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last

                         Year?

                                  E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our

                         Cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the

                          Atlantic Ocean without having to present

                         Identification papers as we move  through each

                         State?

                                   F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean

                         And safe motels we would find along the way that

                         Can provide temporary shelter?

                                   G.. I guess having thousands of

                         Restaurants with varying cuisine from  around the

                         World is just not good enough either.

                                   H. Or could it be that when we wreck

                         Our car, emergency workers show up and provide

                         Services to help all and even send a helicopter

                         To take you  to the hospital.

                                   I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70

                         Percent of Americans who own a home.

                                   J.. You may be upset with knowing that

                         In the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of

                         Trained firefighters will appear in moments and

                         Use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames,

                         Thus saving you, your family, and your

                         Belongings.

                                   K.. Or if, while at home watching one

                         Of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or

                         Prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun

                         And a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you

                         And your family against attack or loss.

                                   L.. This all in the backdrop of a

                         Neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and

                         Pillaging the residents.  Neighborhoods where

                         90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

                                   M.. How about the complete religious,

                         Social and political freedoms we enjoy that are

                         The envy of everyone in the world?

                                   Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks

                         Unhappy.

                                   Fact is, we are the largest group of

                         Ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever

                         Seen.  No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet

                         Has a great disdain for its citizens.  They see

                         Us for what we are. The most blessed people in

                         The world who do nothing but complain about what

                         We don't have, and what we hate about the country

                         Instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

                                         What about the

                         President who took us into war and has no plan to

                         Get us out?   The president who has a measly 31

                         Percent approval rating? Is this the same

                         President who guided the nation in the dark days

                         After 9/11?   The president that cut taxes to

                         Bring an economy out of recession?   Could this

                         Be the same guy who has been called every name in

                         The book for succeeding in keeping all the

                         Spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist

                         Attacks?  The commander in chief of an

                         All-volunteer army that is out there defending

                         You and me?

                                   Did you hear how bad the President is

                         On the news or talk show? Did this news affect

                         You so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't

                         Take a look around for yourself and see all the

                         Good things and be glad?   Think about

                         it......are you upset at the President because he

                         Actually caused you personal pain OR is it

                         Because the 'Media' told you he was failing to

                         kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.

                         Make no mistake about it.

                                  The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have

                         volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have

                         died for your freedom.  There is currently no

                         draft in this country.  They didn't have to go.

                         They are able to refuse to go and end up with

                         either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than

                         honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a

                         ''dishonorable' ' discharge after a few days in

                         the brig.

                                   So why then the flat-out discontentment

                         in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

                                   Say what you want but I blame it on the

                         media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize

                          in bad news.  Everybody will watch a  car

                          crash with blood and guts.  How many will

                         watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The

                         media knows this and media outlets are for-profit

                         corporations.  They offer what sells, and when

                         criticized, try to defend their  actions by

                         'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask

                         why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.

                         Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill

                         his wife, but if he did he would have done it

                         this way......Insane!

                         Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New

                          York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.

                         Then start being grateful for all we have as a

                         country. There is phenomenally more good than

                         bad.  We are among the most blessed people on

                         Earth and should thank God several times a day,

                         or at least be thankful and appreciative.'  'With

                         hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud

                         slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up

                         the country from one end to another, and with    the

                         threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we

                         sure this is a good time to take God out of the

                         Pledge of Allegiance?'
