    It’s not the people – as people – that are the problem. The problem is that “politician” is a profession now, not a thing you do with your heart. You learn what to say and what not, you learn how to get money from the lobbyists, you do what you’re told by them and you make sure you get re-elected. In such a system progress is impossible.

    -

    But solutions like term-limits, sunshine laws, banning of lobbyists etc. would have to be enacted by the very people that would be hindered by them from plundering the nation. A perfect Catch-22, which is why I’m promoting tyranny, the clean alternative. At least you KNOW that you got a jackboot at your throat when a tyrant is in charge…

    …and considering your name I guess it is you yourself you imagine as the new despot, yes?

    “But MY politician is just dandy, it’s yours that is no good and has to be changed.” Isn’t that the perverted attitude in the electorate that keeps getting us the same do-nothings over and over again? I can tell you this, I only voted for one incumbent legislator this year, every other moron I voted against, state and federal. Too bad more people weren’t of like mind.


    Oh and the one incumbent I voted for is HATED by the reDUMBlican party, because hse actually serves the people and their best interests. Maybe that’s why she only had one “negative” ad (all the rest were positive and recounted her accomplishemnts and her endorsements) during the entire campaign against a very well liked republican puppet and she won.

    I recommend we change from the popular phrase “kicking the can down the road” to “throwing the boomerang”.

    The only difference is that you will have that punk Eric Swalwell in there instead of Fortney “Pete” Stark for California District 15, but other than that, nothing else really changed.

    Yep the moron zombie party of tea baggers. No wonder zombies cry out for brains, they lost theirs listening to Fox Propaganda. I hope Harry Reid changes the process in the Senate by forcing obstructionist republicans to actually filibuster the way they did in the old days, by having to talk – now on CSPAN.

    We the People, of the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect union….
    Need to elect honorable, ethical, and intelligent minds to serve as our legislators.
    Sadly, the first dis-qualifier for elected office is wanting the job.
    My compliments to commentators who addressed how politics have become a job rather than an opportunity to create a more perfect union.
    Respectfully,
    C.

    And yet it still beats theocracy. McConnell, odious as he is, beats Morsi. It could be worse!
