When will congressmen deliver on the promises they made in the last election?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

How are our representatives in congress doing? The people who were going to make the big changes to help the middle class.

Gas prices are up and the Dollar is down. Prices are up and jobs are down. The average wage in the US is $3,600.00 per month and the average wage in India is $400.00 per month. Until there is a balance and the cost of labor is equivalent, under our present system, jobs will flow toward the lower wage area. With over a billion people in India, every job in this country could go to India and they would still have an unemployment problem.

To get a balance, the Indian wage will have to rise significantly or US wages will have to fall. Without congressional intervention, do you think this imbalance will be resolved. Do you hear or elected representatives working on or debating this issue? Or are they working on more important issues that will effect us all like steroid use by professional athletes or what did Israel bomb in Syria?

When are our representatives going to deliver on the promises that were made in the last election? They will respond only when they hear from the people who elected them and MAY relect them.

The PD couldn’t find the room to report this, but the GOP sent a letter to Pelosi asking for her to release her 2006 plan to lower the price of gasoline that the 2006 Democrat Congress promised the people.

“When are our representatives going to deliver on the promises that were made in the last election? They will respond only when they hear from the people who elected them and MAY relect them”

Hahahahahahahhahahhahahahaha

How do you tell when a politician is lying? Their mouth is moving. That should just about cover the politicians making promises topic.

Just get rid of the lying, thieving do-anything-for-Big-Oil Republicans and we’ll all be better off!

I see this week where Halliburton and Hamid Karzi are finally getting thir oil pipeline from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean. God bless the United States of Halliburton! Hail to the Fire Chief!

Reality television could make an absolute blockbuster, guaranteed to bring 100 percent of viewers. Have Robbie Kienevil jump 500 politicians with a bulldozer. Should be a great show.

Back to reality, politicians never tell the whole truth. They only tell you the part they want you to hear. For example, what they told us was, ‘We’ll give all the gambling money to education’. The part they didn’t tell us was, ‘For every dollar of gambling money we give to education, we’ll take away a dollor of general fund money that was going to education and spend it on some other pet project.”

The voting public has got to lket our elected representatives know we hold them accountable. How do we do that? If they don’t keep their promises, throw them out and elect someone who will.

Perhaps it’s time to throw them all out and start over with third party candidates.

We need term limits. They just might do what is right for the country, instead of trying to get re-elected.

Centrist- I’d like to see that letter. You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of it would you?

It must be Election Time…
Gotta get their name out to everyone’s ears…

Todd Akin, “my” US Representative (and a prime GWB sycophant), suddenly cares enough about my opinions to call and solicit them.
I loved the wording of the questions; many were carefully couched to permit agreement with his positions on assorted subjects.
I wonder if they will be published / recorded and then made available to “his” constituents?

I suppose next I will be hearing from “my” state representative, Scott Stream. Come to think of it - just this week the mailbox had a missive from him.
I wonder if his campaign manager will again have to “deny involvement with” scurrilous messages that his State Party may put out about his Democratic opponent in 2008 as the GOP similarly did with Jane Bogetto in 2006? I wonder if Mr. Stream ever personally apologized to her…

Alas - their pre-November telephone tactics are not confined to their particular Party.

If the PD DC Bureau slobs would do their job of reporting, I wouldn’t have to be doing this stuff:

Number 3, Tim Hogan:

“Just get rid of the lying, thieving do-anything-for-Big-Oil Republicans and we’ll all be better off!”

Small-Oil aint going to do a hell of a lot to slake the thirst of an oil dependent nation. If we “Just get rid of the lying, thieving do-anything-for-Big-Oil Republicans” how long will the line be when 210 million driving Americans queue up for the single pump near the corner of Cook and Newstead at Al and Shirley’s Bargain Democrat Oil Well Refinery and Fuel Depot?

It’s time for whining loopies to get real or hut up.
