45% of Americans Would Rather Vote For a Random Name from the Phone Book

I mean a random person out of the phone book might actually say "how much is this thing going to cost" every now and again.

“More voters have greater confidence in the telephone book these days than in the current Congress, and most think their national legislators are paid too much to boot,” Rasmussen reported.

45% of voters would rather pick names randomly from the phone book to run Congress than to have Nancy Pelosi, et al, in charge, a Rasmussen Poll found.

Only 36% disagree.

Maybe it is time to switch to the Athenian System where everyone serves in the Congress by random pick just like Jury Duty.
