The new party should be called Consitutionists. Even though all the politicians swear to uphold and defend it, they don’t even know what the Consitution says, or our history. To be a representative on any level of government you should have to go to a class that teaches our government. Strick adherance to our written Constitution is the only way this government can work. It is NOT a living document, it is the way our government was setup to represent all U.S. citizens. Not, all citizens of the world! People want to come here because of it, and want to enjoy the freedoms it gives. They must first speak, write, and swear the oath to our Constitution and country before they can be citizens and enjoy all it’s bounty. Until then they are just visitors. We need politicians who will outlaw paid lobbyists, and their money from halls of government. I believe that would be a start. Congressional reform should also look at:

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

2. No Tenure / No Pension:

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. They are not allowed ANY payment of any kind, or form, from outside their salary. They are not to work for any company that deals with the government after their term, or receive compensation of any type from said companies.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.

4.. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.

5.. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%, but no more than what retirees will recieve.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

I’m sure the legal citizens of this country might even think of some other things to keep politicians in check.

we have to remove as many republicans as possible in 2010 and replace them with conservatives. the gop has been a dismal failure in the eight years of the bush admin by ignoring the cause of high energy which i believe was the one factor in causing the recession. the big investors of oil futures drove the gas prices out of sight and bush & company turned their heads, blaming it on high demand. this created a slow down in our economy and brought employment down which in turn triggered a collapse of the housing market, the housing market was doomed already, but, the energy costs caused the problem sooner. the oil future market was manipulated by investors such as pers, unions. financial institutions, they cared less about the damage they would cause, “after the big buck”. and the oil companies right down to the neighborhood station set back and smiled. the gas stations in california set their daily price on the fluctuation of the market even tho the price crude sells at any particular day wouldn’t effect the whlse price of gas for months. the democratic congress will never allow drilling for oil and the repubs if in power are afraid to confront the demos. so we need new legislatures and new president and we better start by nominating better candidates and not splitting the vote.this is probably a simplistic view of the problem, but believe its close.

Whether Dem or Repub, either will have to sign the agreement that Hannity is putting up to get my vote. Basically it’s an agreement to be a REAGAN CONSERVATIVE. I will not vote for more HYPE AND CHAINS.

Speaking of Republicans, I haven’t seen one that could get the job done (smaller government) since Ronald Reagan.
Ronald went in like a ball of fire but soon had to face the reality of the typical Republican Congressman. His own party members (especially Bob Dole) were all over him that he had to “compromise” if he wanted to get anything done. Compromise to a Democrat is “we want a Trillion, but we’ll compromise and take Half-a-Trillion”. Reagan’s own party kept him from cutting the government back like it needed.
Republicans have long ago lost their way. Sure, we could Hope and Dream (like the Democrats) that maybe now the Republicans will find their way again. We could also give the Child Molester down the street the benefit of the doubt when he says he is reformed now and wants to play with our children.

DDC — you missed the point.

Just because somebody’s last name is Kennedy doesn’t automatically make them bad. Many years ago, I met a very nice elderly lady whose family had to change their name from Lenin because of someone who wasn’t even related to them, and whose real name was Ulianov anyway.

And remember, the Republican has hardly even slowed the rush toward socialism when they have been in power nationally. Did Reagan abolish the Department of Education or the Department of Energy? Did the elder Bush really have “no new taxes”? How many bad peices of legislation did the younger Bush veto? Did we not have deficit budgets even in the 8 years before Juan Peron Obama? Who appointed Breyer and Souter to the US Supreme Court? Was McCain the answer? If we can’t have a really solid Republican like Jim Bunning or Tom Coburn, there is no magic to supporting the Republicans in general.

Some additional facts about OUR real Joe Kennedy;
1. He favors repeal of the federal income tax.
2. He agrees with us that the Sixteenth Amendment was not validly ratified and should be null and void.
3. He is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
4. He agrees that the Obamacare bill is unconstitutional.
5. He understands that for every job that government “creates”, 1.29 real jobs are destroyed.
6. His favorite past and present elected officials are Thomas Jefferson and Ron Paul.
7. He understands the danger of the “Law of the Sea Treaty”.
8. He champions the cause “Adoption, Not Abortion”.

Add in the personal qualities of a true spirit of charity, respect for each person’s religious beliefs, and I believe you will find that he is just what we need in the Senate. And wouldn’t it be just a fabulous irony to have our best US Senator be elected from Massachusetts? What a spirit booster that would be for people who think our cause is presently hopeless!

I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS WEBSITE!!!!
You have not done your usual good research.

Let me, a real political insider on our side with totally reliable credentials and decades of experience on the inside, set you straight.

The Establishment Socialists are ignoring the truth in their reporting on this Senate race. If the impression that they want you to have was reality, then this race would already be over. It is very simple: In Taxachusetts, the Democrat will get 60%-75% of the vote in a Senate race. The Republican will get 20%-40%. Game over, right?? Even in a backlash year like this,it would be difficult for a Republican to do better. Even Curt Schilling would have a very hard time exceeding 45%. And he ain’t running. And the national Republicans have already given up on this race, and are not pouring in the bigtime support that this unique election deserves. Game over, right??

BUT WAIT!!!!!!!

This election actually has three candidates, not two. The Establishment media are trying to deceive the voters into thinking that it is just Republican vs. Democrat. And this website fell for it. You need to improve your research.

Here are the facts: The first candidate to qualify for the Bsallot (by one day) was JOE KENNEDY. So the Ballot will have: Scott Brown (Republican), Martha Coakley (Democrat) [sic, really socialist), and independent Joseph Kennedy (Liberty). In fact, Joe Kennedy already got the first write-in vote to take a 1-0-0 lead. So now we have a three way race where each of the candidates actually does have a realistic chance of winning. All kinds of dynamics come into play because of some unusual conditions (Jan. 19 –wild New England weather, Special Election — low voter turnout, very low campaign visibility — even the League of Women Voters (sic – Vultures) cancelled their traditional televised debate, many uninformed nit-wit voters, etc., etc.) Use your own imagination and see what might happen.

BUT WAIT AGAIN!!!!!

I bet you think that Joe Kennedy is the former Congressman (Cambridge area district!!) who is the nephew of the recently deceased Senator, nephew of the former President, party boy, and financial ally of Hugo Chavez, having a salary of over $500,000 running a “non-profit” company (Citizens Energy Corp., funded by taxpayers’ money) giving the impression that he is helping the “poor” obtaining heating oil so they “won’t freeze” in the Winter, when it is just another government subsidy program designed for political purposes.

WRONG!!!

There are dozens of people in Taxachusetts named Joseph Kennedy, maybe even a hundred or so (check the telephone books).

This Joe Kennedy is one of the GOOD GUYS!!! Actually, a Libertarian, a son of a minister, an honest man with an honest job, and a skilled communicator and all-around nice guy who pulls no punches.
He is ONE OF US!!!

So, think about the implications of this election, and the real possibility of a very unusual and positive result. Then start doing things to help make it happen. Google things and do some research. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Time is short.

Republican or Democrat,I really don’t care! I want a politician who listens to their voters and votes their wishes. No more of the BS of voting a party line. the party didn’t put them in the office, we did and to represent us. Any politician who votes a party line should be booted and tossed out of office. They are NOT Kings and Queens, they are PUBLIC SERVANTS.

There is a definite choice between the two parties but don’t know if the candidates really reflect their party platforms and ideology. Being the first woman senator is rather trite. We just elected our first black president and he turns out to be a man with an ideology that is antithetical to our democratic form of government. If you love America you will vote republican and vote out the dems so that we can put an end to this nonesensical progressive attempt to change our country into a failed state.

While Brown might be a welcomed addition as a newly elected senator, it will never happen. Massachusetts is die hard democratic and the democratic machinery will be rolled out in full force to elect him. I just hope those animals leave his family alone. But democrats being democratics, that also will never happen. I just hope old Teddy rolls over in his grave when the vicious attacks begin. At least he was above that kind of politics.

Charlie, the problem with three parties is: It would make O-BUM-A very
happy. I believe it would pull votes away from the G.O.P. True the G.O.P. needs some help but lets not give the lefties any ammo. In 2010
we have a great chance to put Democracy back into Congress and neutralize O-BUM-A!

Massachusetts is thoroughly brainwashed by the democrats.
It is ironic that the Dem Chairman lauds Kennedy as a supporter of women. If he had said groper instead of supporter i would agree.
Massachusetts has allowed Kennedy to get away with manslaughter.

I would be thoroughly surprised if they elect a republican senator.
Basically the Dems will make up some fantastic BS about how their candidate will produce needed change and the voters will believe them.
This particular seat has been democratic since before i was born. If you want real change elect a Republician.

The percentage of democrats in congress has led to incredible abuse by the domocrats. we need long term change that may require three parties in congress or a higher percentage of congress to pass a bill for the senate this may be 75%. we need to stop party railroading of bills and most of all we need an ethics amendment. the good old boys club and politics as usual is bad for the country.

I feel we really need to have a balance of Republicans and Democrats in both the house and senate. We need to find a way to get Politicians who really listen to the people who elected them and I don’t mean the big money that was contributed. I feel it is an impossible thing to achieve with out limiting the term to one 4 year term per lifetime for all politicians including state cronies. You can either help or hinder in 4 years. You don’t need to continue to collect our moneys after one term. Go out and get a real job.

The sate of { Mass A chews sits } is a lost cause, the best thing possible is that somehow the earth swollows its whole.
That states takes the fisrt place prize for the most stupid people on the planet earth. Thats even with Harvard and MIT in the back yard.

I sure hope that Massachuttes wakes up and smells the coffee and votes Brown in no matter what. That will send a huge message to Congress on what to expect in November 2010 plus breakup the monopoly of the donkeys. It sure would be a great start.

We will be watching and evaluating and asking. Can we the American people afford another republican victory.

I think the answer is no! In view of the damage they’ve inflicted on the country with their obstructionist policy in the last year and the previous 8 fiascos.
