Our political process is what it is and has a colorful history. It goes back all the way to the beginning of America when congressmen sometimes assaulted each other with fists and cains over political issues.
There are even stories of duels with pistols between politicians.
One of the political biographies I enjoyed most was that of Louisiana's Huey Long, known to his constituants as the "KingFish". I think American politics has been corrupt from the very beginning and is not likely to change much since it is legal to flat out lie in political ads in the media.
It's pretty entertaining watching Obama and Hitlary go at each other, but it won't be too funny if either one of them gets elected, but you can rest assured that the "dumb masses" of American voters who have no clue who their two senators and congressman are will head to the polls in clueless fashion, completely oblivious to the facts and check the box next to the womans name simply because they are women, or check the box next to the black mans name simply because they too are black, or they check the name they believe will grant them the most money from the U.S. Treasury.
We should require a competency exam that must be passed before people are allowed to vote. It might just cut down on the idiocy and the election of idiots, at least until the Democracks get the answers to the test, have then translated into Spanish and mailed out to all registered Democrats.
on their opponents.
