Anti-incumbent movement against both parties next election.

What are the chances of that happening?

3. Really? I got my ass kicked this morning for even SUGGESTING such a thing

And I was only talking about the Vichy Six dems. It seems that to many DUers, doing anything but re-electing the incumbents is seen as too risky, and might upset the GOP status quo. You know, and America won't like us and invite to their beach house this summer. And we won't get prom dates, either.

Remove the Vichy Six?...

2. Fica Plants Unite!!!!!!!

That is what was done before in 2000 (I think that was the year)...

Some people registered and ran fica plants against unchallenged incumbants. One even won! It made one (TX I think) loser so mad, he tried to put in legislation that a contender had to be a human...most states say that a contender be a resident for a certain number of years (often 25 years) is all ~ not that they be human. LOL!

4. Oh, very cool.

That is a hoot! A fica plant would certainly do less harm that some of these legislators. At least it would be quiet and listen.

5. Yeah It Was Pretty Funny

I remember reading about the one they ran in TX where they dressed the plant up in cowboy boots and a hat and then they "stumped" around the state. Oh I loved it so much! Most of all, I LOVED how mad it made the incumbants, lol. It must not feel very good to be running against a plant. What would you do to trash your opponent ~ tell everybody how currupt ficas are, or call for the removal of all fica plants in the state? LOL!

6. I like my incumbent Congressman and don't plan on voting him out

7. Polls show a general disgust with incumbents

but I think it will be hard for challengers. It costs too much money to run campaigns. It costs more to unseat an incumbent. We'll be lucky to unseat a few Republicans--hopefully enough to take over the majority.
