Holding Congressmen Accountable

I was watching a most interesting tape this evening, featuring Congressman Phil Hare (D-IL). A reporter asked Congressman Hare, "Where in the Constitution does the government find the right to mandate health care?"

The Congressman responded, "I don't care about the Constitution." He said it TWICE.

Well, Mr. Hare, I'm sorry to hear that, considering that in order to BE a Congressman you had to swear an oath to UPHOLD the Constitution. Your response indicates that you have no interest in upholding the law of the land, so you are in breach of your oath of office and need to step down. (It does not help that when asked, he did not know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.)

People of Illinois, if you believe in the Constitution - you know, the little thing that makes sure you have basic human rights - then you owe it to yourselves and to the nation to impeach this clown. He is unworthy of holding ANY elected office anywhere in America.

It is thoroughly disgusting to see exactly what our Congress actually thinks of us, the Constitution and our rights. Let's change that in November. We do not need Congressmen who do not care about the Constitution, like Hare, or who think an island can capsize, as does Johnson. We need reasonably intelligent and educated people.
