The answer is simple, really...

I always hear people whining about politicians and how they lie, cheat and steal... and I agree... most of them should be strangled to death with their own intestines... BUT, we keep electing these bums!

Why don't we all... as voters... just stick to one policy... and ONE POLICY ONLY... never vote for the incumbent...

Now how hard was THAT! Instant Term Limits, people...

Whew! Okay... on to that Mideastern fiasco...

well all say what ppl want to hear.. to be honest the only way any pres is going to drop taxes and all that is if they do not care what ppl think of them..

but the only way i could think to drop taxes would be legalize marijuana would boost the economy because a lot of money would stay in the US.. government would tax that and be able to lower other taxes a bit..

but if any pres did that.. hell if they where the best pres ever ended all wars made peace with everyone ext.. no matter what they did.. all they would be known for is the pres that legalized it and none of them want that

If they just went after corruption it would go a long way in fixing things, but since they are all pretty much corrupt it's never going to happen.

That's what I do. Independent first, no matter what party, if no independent then the non incumbent from one of the "two" major parties. And yes, we could really send a message if more people were able to look past what the media spoon-feeds them and started actually thinking.

The problem there is, that independent is also susceptible to corruption. Power corrupts, Greed corrupts.
Thinking works!!

That's why you keep the turn-over ratio very high.
