Voter anger, Republicans, Democrats, and Congress

That special Congressional primary season is much in the news today, as well it should be. 

Various commentators, Republican, Democrat, and Provocateurs (listening to them gives on to quickly conclude that they are about generating controversy and pumping ratings) have much to say.  Republicans say "the country is feed up with the Democrats and their liberal spending ways.  We'll take back congress!"  The Democrats say "the country is not as mad at us as the Republicans think.  We'll do OK."  The provocateurs simply go about baiting both the Republicans and Democrats in the hope of starting a televised food fight on their show.

All of this, however, seems to me to miss the mark.  It seems to me as you might gather from earlier posts that the real issue is incumbents.  It is simply no longer possible to believe that congress is not completely dysfunctional, particularly the senate.  To change it can only be accomplished by changing your congressman.  That's just common sense.  That you might regard your existing congressman as the lesser of two evils, as one surveyed voter remarked, while rational in the short term, insures that congress remains broken in the long term.  Such not now decisions are part of how we allowed problems that might have been resolved with much less difficulty when they first arose to now become crisis.  It is, common sense suggest, long past time to stop the cycle and replace congress in its entirety.
