I think it's a great sentiment but not practical. If you threw out every single incumbent, things would just stop abruptly and you'd have chaos. That would be like a revolution and I don't think it would go over that well.

But I completely get the spirit behind saying that though. I think right now there is a bit of a change going on, people are tired of electing representatives who go to Washington and then do the complete opposite of the things they said they'd do once they got there. If you stop re-electing these people, they won't take the people who elected them for granted.
