Sen. Bob Bennett ousted at Utah GOP convention - Washington Times

This is as it should be. Those who went to Washington and became not the solution but part of the problem should be ousted.

Of course that means everyone regardless of party affiliation. They–the incumbents–all participated in the debacle that we now have to endure and they should all be sent home and only in that way can we try to change Washington. There are those who will say, "That's just not practical. We can't turn them all out at once!" and off course that is true. It wouldn't be practical especially if it came from only one side. What I'd like to see is all current incumbents resign and run in the next election for their own seats. If they be honorable men and women, given the current approval rating of the House and Senate, that would be the right thing to do, wouldn't it? Then they could actually say, if re-elected, that they had passed the test of the electorate.

I know they won't do it. They will cite all sorts of reasons why it isn't possible or practical but what it really boils down to is that they don't want to face We the People. They know they've made a mess of things and those Senators who don't face re-election this year aren't about to put their names on the line because they are afraid of the results. But think of what would happen if, for argument's sake, only one party did that. All the GOP Senators stepped forward and, facing re-election or not, tendered their resignation saying, "We pledge to follow the Constitution, move rapidly towards a smaller government and cut government spending and taxes if we are re-elected and we're putting our office on the line to prove our pledge. Re-elect us and that's what we shall do."

I wonder what the voters would do?
