Quote by: century25 Yes.. both parties are way too in hock for their special interest groups that are backing them. I think voting is meaningless too. |
candidates aren't elected by popular vote?
And you need special interests. Some are just big business, but most are genuine causes. Labor unions, woman's rights, right to life, right to left, yada. It's not like all special interests are not representative of voters opinions. It's just a method of bringing topics of discussion to a congressman.

A vote is merely a "suggestion" to the electors.. and now.. with the 'souupreeem' court's 5-4 plurality.. it is totally screwed.. I mean skewed, as in: "the fix is in"

comes from having an overly complex system of voting people in (the idea comes from the founders)
Oh and for all of youse who think gridlock is bad. Checkout the country where everything happens how one person wants it.
