76% of Registered Voters Say Most Members of Congress Do Not Desrve Re-election (except for their representative)
A substantial majority of Republican (75%), independent (82%), and Democratic (68%) voters agree that most members of Congress do not deserve re-election -- a sign of rare consensus about the legislative body in which both parties currently hold a leadership stake.

PRINCETON, NJ -- About three-quarters of registered voters (76%) say most members of Congress do not deserve re-election, the highest such percentage Gallup has measured in its 19-year history of asking this question. The 20% who say most members deserve to be re-elected is also a record low, by one percentage point.
But Yet, 53% Say Their Representative
Deserves to be Re-elected

Majority Would Cast a "Yea" Vote
for Their Own Member of Congress
As has historically been the case, voters are much more positive about the U.S. representative from their own congressional district than they are about "most members of Congress," with 53% saying their representative deserves to be re-elected, while 39% hold the opposite view.

Hypocrisy (Greg Hunter) "I AM NOT MOVING"
Welcome to U.S. Hypocricy
At It's Finest Worst
Much thanks to Greg Hunter

Haven’t heard much about Occupy Wall Street (OWS) lately, but it is still going on. The official premise is to protest greed and corruption on Wall Street. Unofficially, I think it is a bunch of people who have awoken to the fact they have been financially screwed. Yes, I know the Communist party, Nazi party and unions are all trying to hijack and latch onto this movement, but I think, at its heart, it’s much more than that. It’s about not having a fair and level playing field for everyone to play on. Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren summed it up perfectly when she said, “We rescued at the top and told the bottom to fin for itself.” OWS would have never started if we had let the banks fail, protected only the depositors and fired and prosecuted some big bankers. Instead, we continue to bail them out, and top bankers continue to collect big bonuses for the mess they caused. On top of that, our own government officials and financial watchdogs allow phony accounting to make the banks looks solvent.
The video you are about to see is titled “I Am Not Moving,” but I think is should be called “Hypocrisy.” It has gotten nearly a million You Tube views and is an interesting and poignant piece of work. Both Republicans and Democrats should take notice. I do not believe in everything the OWS movement stands for, but I fully support their right to peacefully protest and exercise their First Amendment right granted under the U.S Constitution. Enjoy the video below:
