Comment: REPLACE THEM, AND REPLACE THEM AFTER NO MORE THAN 2 TERMS, Also DONT LET THEM RETIRE WITH FULL PAY, THEY SHOULD GET PAID IN RETIREMENT A PERCENT OF WHAt THEY PAY IN LIKE OTHER WORKERS from pensacola fl by pam

Comment: keep it...we can always electnew ones in...but then again...i think that those who gripe about politics should run for office and see if they can handle the pressure and intensity of the people...like themselves! from p'cola fl by h

Comment: Get rid of the lot of them and lets start over. Talk about needing a change. . . NOW is when this country needs a change and I think alot of people who voted for that so called "change" in 2008 are not happy with their decision any longer. Proud to say that I was not one of them. from Laurel Hill, FL by Nerissa

Comment: Replace them? Who would take the place of the current Congress? Just another batch of power hungry crooks looking out for their districts first and the nation as a whole last. from Pensacola by Stewart

Comment: these "lords" we call senators were created to prevent frustrate the will of the people and their representatives. flush that chamber ,and lock the door from gulf breeze fl by tom

Comment: I'd love to replace them, but I only have one vote for one representative. This Congress is embarrassing by its partisanship and failure to work for all Americans. The House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader are both terrible leaders who do not have the country's best interests as their chief concern. It's Congress' like this that make me support term limits. I think 12 years as a maximum consecutive term for a representative or senator would be in our best interests - lowering the impact of 'career' politicians. from Pensacola / FL by Rick

Comment: WHAT?????????????????

Comment: I'd throw all of the bums out that have been there more than 2 terms. from Crestview, FL by Doug

Comment: This Congress has NOT spoken for me; it has NOT represented my interests in this country I served (Navy) and continue to serve (education). I'm voting them all out! from Milton, FL by Dr. Jean

Comment: replace. They have become more divisive, aligning themselves along party line with no regard for the John and Jane Does who elected them. Seem to cater to lobbyists, financiers, and big business. The sad thing is you either have to indebt yourself or be wealthy to run for office. from pensacola, fl by karastin

Comment: YES!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Replace all...we have to start with a new slate... cut all ties with / to lobbiests...stop the money drain in EVERY area! Smal government for and by the people. from Milton / FL by Robert

Comment: I'd be tempted to show them all to the door. I would then tell the new Congress that they have two years to fix the nation, or they will also be gone. from Gulf Breeze/FL by Don

Comment: You bet. Just watch one of our senior congressman Murta, D-PA on Utube and you will see why they all need to go. from Pensacola, FL by Bob

Comment: I would not replace congress as an institution, but I would replace most of the people serving in it. And I would definitely approve of term limits for both the House and the Senate. by D

Comment: Keep some get rid of most it really gets tiring listening to them go on and on and accomplishing nothing. As to the President weighing in on a high speed rail, which does not benefit NW Florida, don't get me started. from Ft. Walton Beach, Fl by Jim

Comment: I would not replace Congress. I would make a system that allows people to better see legislation in lay terms.

Comment: I don't see where we have any choice. Their replacements are still in prison! PS: has anyine ever seen a politician actually answer a question? And never with a simple Yes or No!!!! Jon from Pensacola from Pensacola by John

Comment: Congress is at a point where they cannot agree to disagree on any issues. There is much corruption with the padding of bills in an effort to win over votes to pass bills. To date, neither side nor the President has been able to work together on any issue since the POTUS has taken office! The State of the Union focused on too much finger pointing and blaming the past for today's issues...so what, what are you going to do about it NOW! from Penscola, FL by John

Comment: replace all of them from pensacola,fl by billy
