Everybody Hates Congress

Wow, these are stunning numbers, but not in the least bit suprising:
Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) — Just 8 percent of Americans want the members of Congress re-elected, according to a CBS News-New York Times poll taken nine months before roughly one-third of the Senate and the entire House face voters.
The Feb. 5-10 survey found 81 percent of respondents saying the lawmakers shouldn’t receive another term.
By 80 percent to 13 percent, Americans said members of Congress are more interested in serving special interests than the people they represent.
But given Citizens’ United, how in the world are candidates who will represent We the People going to find the money to run, much less beat, the candidates funded by special interests?
We are so screwed.
