The Debt Ceiling Vote: Patriots vs. Traitors
The names of Congressmen and Senators are posted here, as Patriots or Traitors, who honored or not, their Oath to the Constitution and the American People; to decry or not the myth (lie) being perpetrated by the status quo that America won’t be able to pay its debt; to pay off or extend our debt to our children and grandchildren. (This chart is based solely on SB 365, the bill on raising the debt ceiling 1 Aug 2011. You may find some who are more Traitor than Patriot amongst the names, but on this vote, they voted against more Debt.)

The whole government has committed treason against the country investigate them and if they are found guilty, use harshest punishment against them and seize all there assets and put it back in to US funds. And all civilians involved, the same punishment. Thank you, William Mutters
The American Voters give a 6% approval to the way Congress and it’s members do their jobs.
We need to get these Liars, Cheats, Self-Serving and Selfish, among other ugly and dishonest traits out of the wasted space their taking up.
I Pray the American people would make a Solidarity effort to kicks these ‘CHEATERS OUT OF OFFICE”
The problem is getting this soildarity among people.
Some Citizens tend to look the “other way” if their not directly affected by the way Congress
does “business”. In the end we ALL Pay, in various ways.
We have a RIGHT To VOTE these people out.
LET’S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that something needs to be done to make congress more responsive. The debt ceiling vote though is a farce. Congress voted for a budget, it should be considered funded either diretly or through debt.
I’m disgusted with these politicians! Not only to they get paid too much and in office way too long, they are “crooks” by gleaning insider info to make profits. This doesn’t happen in the private sector without major penalties. Let’s throw them all out — they can’t even decide what to cut to get out house in order. I’m totally disgusted.
Paul:
I totally agree with you. We should vote against every incumbent in congress. 100% turnover. Wish we had term limits and the line item veto.
I agree. Do this at least 3 elections for each office.
yes we should throw them out, but I find zero constitutional basis to do so. I KNOW that this website is acorruption of the voice of the people and, because it is corporately sponsored as an attempt to violate the constitutional rights of CITIZENS by non persons, is in itself CRIMINAL.
The proof will be if I am posted or not!
Oops! You got posted! There goes that theory.
And corporately sponsored??? What corporation would put up a site railing against the legislators who make laws for and against them? That would be suicide!
Every 2 years, we have elections so we can keep them in office or “throw them out”… yeah… it’s in the Constitution.
Right. And 80% of the House gets re-elected. (see opensecrets.org). Funding is a big barrier to having competitive elections. Perhaps members of congress should wear patches like NASCAR.
The congress thinks that they are above the law and have for years. We need to boot them out and elect people that are going to work for us. They need term limits they do not need to be comfortable in those positions. They work for us.
IT IS TIME DUMP CONGRESS,THEY NEED TO BE FIRED..ALL OF THEM,LETS START OVER,WISE UP AMERICA..JUST HOW MUCH WILL YOU TAKE,BEFORE ACTING ON ELECTION DAY..WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES,IF THEY WILL NOT..COME ON GET MAD AND CHANGE THE DIRECTION.HAVE YOU NOT HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR GAME PLAYING, I HAVE….
VOTERS
LETS vote these people in CONGRESS out.I have seen and heard enough,they CONGRESS ARE NOT SERVING US..THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT US,WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT AMERICANS,SENIORS,FAMILIES.THEY ARE A DISGRACE,THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID.THEY ACT LIKE A BUNCH OF LITTLE CHILDREN.IF YOU DO NOT VOTE THE WAY THEY WANT IN CONGRESS,THEY WILL TAKE THEIR GAVEL AND GO HOME,WHAT A JOKE,WE SUFFER..
Ron Paul (along with everyone else who voted for the Obama Tax Plan in December 2010) should be thrown out. They voted YES to add almost a trillion dollars to the national debt, and then complain about the debt ceiling. That is the textbook definition of a hypocrite! (Voting YES to borrow and spend the money, and then voting NO to pay it back is also the textbook definition of a deadbeat!)
you cant run a GLOBAL war on NATIONAL taxes.
Either bring home the troops, close the thousand overseas bases, close all but the major domestic bases,
and bring the military to the founders size-
OR pay massive taxes by the top wage earners who are claiming they ‘support’ all these expenditures- let them show their support with a massive war tax levied on top wage earners.
Bet the wars and foreign intervention stops fast when the supporters actually have to support it financially.
The house must be cleaned of corruption and greed. Both Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty, guided and directed by criminal corporations.
Let’s not throw out the representatives who agree with our position. it can get worse. Figure out who your voting for, then vote. In 2010, we hurt our own cause when we slaughtered the blue dogs; replaced with sheep. The blue dogs were in agreement with us, and in the other sides camp! They should have been valued allies and the fact that they weren’t is further evidence of the incompetence and ignorance of our fellow voters.
You lost my respect at “bible”, keep that shat to yourself.
