Rage from the people decades in the making

This is not about health care. Not about TARP. Not about another bailout. Not about thousands of other pork-filled spending bills Congress has passed over the past 20 years. It is about the sum of those things.

Congress has abandoned the average American who put the members there to begin with. It is not about Republicans, Democrats or Libertarians, etc. It is about the rage that has taken decades to build. It is now boiling over, and what you are seeing in the town hall meetings is only the beginning of us -- all the "Joe the Plumbers" in America -- taking back our country from a Congress that has gone too far.

The health care monstrosity that the House put out was the last straw. The camel went to his knees, his back nearly broken. But when he realized what had happened, he stood back up and is now in the process of slowly throwing off all that dead weight.

There will be hell to pay in the next election. I personally will not vote for any incumbent. They all need to go. Washington is broken, not our health care, which is the best in the world. Control costs, not people. And Congress, get out of my life.
