Saying that the government is broken is almost an understatement right now. So many things have been going wrong and Jack Cafferty’s six-part series Broken Government has been running through the gamut of failures by this Congress.

First, the obvious list of corruptions:

• Mark Foley, a Republican representative from Florida, resigned last month after details became public of alleged sexually explicit instant messages to teenage boys who had served as Capitol Hill pages.

• The House ethics committee is investigation whether Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, House leaders or their staff covered up of Foley’s messages to the pages. (Watch what poll respondents say about Foley and Hastert — 1:35)

• Ohio Rep. Bob Ney pleaded guilty Friday in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling investigation. He acknowledged taking trips, tickets, meals and campaign donations from Abramoff in return for official actions on behalf of his clients.

• In May, the FBI searched the offices of Rep. William Jefferson, D-Louisiana, probing allegations he accepted bribes in return for using his office to facilitate business ventures in Africa. Jefferson has denied any wrongdoing.

• Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas announced his resignation in April in hopes the move would keep his Houston-area district in GOP hands while he battles state money-laundering charges.

Those are just the individual corruptions though, icing the on the crappy, broken and sour cake. There’s also the immigration problem, the incredible amount of deficit and pork-barrel spending on ridiculous and useless projects, the fact that this Congress has been in session less than 100 days this year but have managed to raise their pay up to $165,000/yr while millions of Americans struggle under a minumum wage that is below the poverty line, and last but certainly not least the failed War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yeah, problems abound.

Although it might seem a little overboard or outlandish, I like Jack Cafferty’s idea of simply voting against every incumbent in office. Vote them all out! He says, and start with a new, fresh Congress. I think that’s not a bad idea for the most part, except that we’d be voting out guys like Barack Obama and Howard Dean, and voting in Katherine Harris. That thought sends shivers up my spine.
