Who should we really be electing

Has anyone given some thought to who we should be electing in this country...The current candidates, McCain and Obama are running for President...but they really have two things they can do...1. Be a figure head for our country which is good...2. Have vito power. It is the congress who runs the country, makes the decisions and policies, and tells you and me what we can and can't do. But how many of us really know what these people stand for. Maybe we should be putting the congressmen and women under the same microscope that we put the presidential candidates...lets find out where they stand on health care, abortion, drilling, social security reform, changing our tax codes and structures etc etc etc. After all these are the people that are making decisions for you and I...and by the way in many cases not such good ones....example...drilling for oil in this country...75+%of the American people want to drill for oil in Alaska and or Off shore...is your Congress listening to you...don't think so as they are on vacation...and please remember they will not make a decision until after the election, why...because if they vote no to drilling the people in their districts will vote them out of office, and then they would not have that great cush iejob they currently have with all those wonderful benefits...makes me sick
