1. Well, North Korea hasn't done anything lately ...

to screw me personally. Congress hasn't either, but they have tried ..... oh how they have tried!

2. Yet many run opposed

How is that even possible?

How can President Obama raise a billion dollars, yet the Democratic party can't put an opponent in every race for a seat in a legislative body that 9 out of 10 Americans don't like?

A real head scratcher. 300 million folks to choose from and the party can't find 500 to contest every seat.

3. The problem isn't my congressperson

Its everyone ELSES congressperson...

That's why you see such high re-election percentages while the overall approval of Congress is so low. People like their own elected official, but not the other hundreds.

4. I will vote against my congressmen

If the Democratic party would put someone up against him.

It sucks to merely abstain.
