I don't know what those clowns in Congress are playing at, but I wouldn't consider it a "term." They have no interest what-so-ever in the good of the nation and its citizens. They are pretty excited about not being "primaried," so they're working hard to out lunatic the tea party - a difficult job, but they are managing it.

Most of the time they are not in session, anyway. At the moment they have taken off for 10 days for some reason or another - maybe they need to take the loot they get from their Wall Street masters and personally deposit it into those off shore bank accounts.

They don't have the guts to put a single corrupt CEO who helped plunge this country into depression on trial for their crimes against the American people. They are pretty good at filibustering anything that moves - just one more way to avoid actually being in session and having the guts to get together, compromise on the issues and actually govern the nation.

I realize their official Congressional pay is a drop in the bucket, but it would at least be a start to let them know how disgusted the American people are with them.

Now we have the sequester coming up. Oh, boy! The US looks more like a comedy of the 200 however many stooges in Congress than it does a respectable, sovereign nation.
