1 Out Of 435

Post by Ranger Bill »

There are 435 members in the U.S. House of Representatives – currently 236 Democrats and 199 Republicans. Of the 407 incumbents seeking re-election in 2006, 383 or 94% of them were re-elected. It will probably be about the same this year. In fact, only one incumbent running for re-election this year faces a challenger in their party’s primary. Same old same old.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Precisely the problem with our governemnt. We have politicians instead of statesmen running our country.

At least we can expect lots of change in the next two years then if what you say is true!

I love change

Maybe if I say it a few hundred more times someone will elect me...

CHANGE!

Edit - Wow, I just went to Obama.com and saw the first 10 seconds of his video... I got totally creeped out...

Unfortunately, political office has turned into a proffession rather than remaining a burden as it has in the past. I have no idea when this evolution took place.

Its interesting that all these well paid represenatives are about to go on vacation for two months, while leaving quite a few problems. Primarily the problem of whether or not to drill in areas of our own country.

Pelosi calls the concept of drilling to lower gas prices a hoax and states she will not even allow a vote because she is going to save the planet.
