2010 Elections: Reality Show Politics?

Give me a candidate that: 1. Backs up the immigration laws and escort every illegal alien and their newborns out of this country and requires all to go thru the set program by the constitution if they wish to re-enter the United States. 2. Puts up a fence on the Mexican border and the Canadian border. 10 feet high, electrified with razor sharp barbwire on top. Manned turrets every 1/4 mile and warning signs....trespassers will be shot. Strategically places seismographs and such equipment that would detect any tunnel attempt to by-pass the border. 3. Revises the Social Security System to at least match minimum wages plus cost of living. Repeals the social security tax, on social security, which is, in itself, an asinine law. 4. Insures that all American citizens, especial Veterans are not living in the streets under card boxes. Stop giving Billions to Africa, Middle East, India to feed the poor, while millions of Americans are still starving and cannot afford a place to live and even find jobs. 5. Re-opens all closed military bases in the U.S.A., refurbishes the buildings and uses those facilities, already paid for by the tax payers, for shelters for those who have fallen on hard times. 6. Reforms the food stamps and welfare program by closing it down on a certain date and having everyone re-apply by proving that they are American citizens or legal resident aliens and have a social security number. Uses finger prints to assure identity and or DNA of all recipient to insure they are legality entitled to these services. Sets a limit in amount and time an individual is able to be on the program. 7. Revises the retirement plans of our senators to match the military retirement plan. Military personnel have to serve 20 years in order to receive 50% of their pay as retirement pay adding 2% for every two additional years they served past 20 years with a max of 30 years. Today, our "Representatives" in D.C. receive their full pay as a pension, for the rest of their natural lives regardless of how little time they served as elected officials. Is that fair?... I say NO! In addition they are able to vote on their own pay increases without vote from the people or even the president. That law need to be revoked. 8. Goes back 15 years and cuts all those unearned retirement by senators and congressmen. Uses that amount of money recovered to pay for the deficit. That should take a nice chunk out of it. 9. Revamps income taxes to reflect our earnings. Anyone making less than minimal wage or at the poverty level should not have to pay taxes. All retirements, other than Social Security, should be marked as income and should not be exempted. Percentage of income tax should be fixed on an equivalent scale base on the Deficit and the amount of money we earned. The more we earn the more we should pay. When and if the deficit is totaly paid for and their is no longer a deficit in the nation's budget. Then Income taxes should be adjusted as such or completely eliminated.

Once the road to no where, governor dropout, "Drill, Baby, Drill" Sarah Palin became the TEA Party icon it turn me off completely. The Conservative Party platform is the same Republican platform, which now the TEA Party platform and I look at the gulf disaster I see their platform.

I believe one of the most important things that voters have yet to realize, is the value of voting in the primaries. There is generally a small turnout for primaries, but the primaries determine who will be on the election ballot. DO NOT LET OTHERS PICK YOUR CANDIDATES. Get out to those primaries and make your own choice. Just do your homework before you vote.

I think this story makes some excellent points. America is tired of the same old tired promises, speeches, run-down ideas, fighting and incompetence and this is an excellent time for newbies to be running for office. Incumbents need a new argument other than we need their experience, because it's clear America has deciced that's the LAST thing we need any longer.
