When gas was thirty five cents per gallon and

prior to the OPEC Embargo of the 1970s, Dubai was a fishing village. When our politicians were killing off the alternative energy programs during that same decade, there began a wholesale transfer of wealth out of the United States. Now that the equity draw-down is almost complete, your elected representatives want you to believe that they have the answer. They want you to ignore the fact that they are almost wholly owned and operated by those controlling the incumbent energy concerns. They want you to accept the notion that "too much dependence on foreign oil" is a new revelation as if it wasn't the hot topic during the 1970s. Perhaps they are right and the electorate does have the attention span of a gnat. Look and see what a tenfold increase in the price per gallon of gas is buying you now.

Ground Swell
A 2006 Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 55 percent of those surveyed said they are inclined to look around for someone new rather than support their incumbent members of Congress that fall, the highest level of anti-incumbency since the 1994 midterm elections that dethroned Democrats on Capitol Hill.
That year more than a dozen legislators in Pennsylvania lost their jobs in a revolt over a pay raise for lawmakers that was enacted and later repealed but which provoked outrage among the electorate.

Why Vote Anti-Incumbents?
In the past I have voted for the lessor “evil” candidate, so to speak. In discussions with my friends we keep talking about how bad things are getting and why the politicians are not doing anything about it. My wife finally said “I am voting against all incumbents!” I have to agree.
Regardless of political party, I am joining her and voting against any incumbents. I sense from my friends and the national press, there is growing anti-incumbents feelings in the country.

An Anti-Incumbent Election?
First, let’s get our terms straight. If “anti-incumbent election” means anything, it is that voters are so dissatisfied with the status quo that they vote against all incumbents, regardless of party. The term highlights one, and only one, quality of embattled candidates: their incumbency.
This kind of election is not about party or ideology or how Members voted on a particular piece of legislation. If it were about any of those things, it wouldn’t simply be an “anti-incumbent” election. An anti-incumbent election is a referendum on the “ins,” and voters, for whatever reasons, are so unhappy with the performance of those “ins” — all the “ins” — that they throw them out. All of them.

Don't worry!
More anti-incumbent sentiment is on the way, because our pressing problems are going to grow in number and severity between now and 2008.
