I would say it's the voter's who are fault.If people keep voting the same non-sense to Washington every time,then those people will only have themselve's to blame. I disagree Charles. Sure, if >80% of the voters gathered as much information from as many sources as possible, than voted, it would be our fault... But, most people don't have that much time, desire, or ability, and it would seem, believing the representatives who pretend to give a chit on election season, is a huge mistake. M
Actually, the more likely number of uninformed voters, is around 92%. That's 92% of people that just want to bitch about our goverment. They claim those in office don't listen to 'everyday Americans', even though, they themselves do not listen to the canidates running for office (or re-relection). So Charles, is indeed correct, in saying its the voter's fault for the crappy goverment we have.
Case in point, the Honorable Representative from Minnesota's 6th District: Michelle Bachmann. This person was re-elected to office just recently. Anyone that is sane and knowledgable about this woman's understanding of reality, would never vote for her. She is, in every manner, a 'few clowns short of a full circus', and yet, she won the majority of voters. If conservatives were really serious in that district with 'voting the bums out', why is this woman STILL in office?
President Obama, really and truely is, one of the best things this country has, in elected office. Your welcome to disagree with me, or his views. When people vote, do they vote for the person or the party they represent? Since if we voted purely on the person, we'd have to ask ourselves, 'what sort of characteristics we want in a president'? Healthy, intelligent, wise, calm, educated, tolerant, and brave. Sounds like a reasonable list right? However, if we are voting on the party and not the individual, then what is really sitting in the President's chair? The seat, that is suppose to represent, us, individuals, in America?
This lack of knowledge is made all the worst, with media outlets set up, to do nothing more, then spread disinformation as fast and wide, as possible. To promote 'A' concept and destroy 'B' concept. As the saying goes "a bad map, is worst, then no map at all". There is a large segment of Americans whom, each and everyday, are given the 'bad map' and told, its the 'good map'. So who is at fault? The voter! Its THEIR job to understand the facts, not allow someone to do their thinking for themselves. Unfortunately, to do that, takes time, energy, and patience. Most Americans simply have none of the three. Whose fault is that? The voters still; but they have more excuses then politicans it seems.
