-
Term limits solve nothing. As long as the public refues to become informed about candidates, as long as people refuse to vote and as long as the electorate refuse to actively participate in the political process, we will continue to have sub standard elected officials.
It's our own fault we are in this mess because the electorate prefers to act like sheep - blindly following any candidate who tells them what they want to hear or looks good on TV.
Our society cares more about personalities - celebriticians - than they do candidates who actually have a reasoned thought in their head.
Add to that the distate so many on the far right and left have with the words "work together for the common good" and "compromise", we will continue to sink into the muck and mire of a second rate country.
We have the opportunity to change th American political landscape for the better. We're just to lazy and don't have the guts to do it.
And that my friends, is why our government is run by the corrupt, arrogant politicians and government officials who forget that they serve us.
We only get the government we ask for and you're now looking at the results.
Democrats and Republicans and Independents all share equal blame for the sorry state of our system of government.
