yes, but politicians have PLENTY of very important decisions to make with the lives of millions,, I wouldnt want them to be any LESS knowledgable than people in similar 'power' positions,, like managers, lawyers, etc,, those who make decisions affecting OTHERS lives on a regular basis thats part of their problems... they think they know whats best for us, without ever trying to find what we want. we are not children, and do not need to be treated like we are.the way the political structure is set up now,we(the people) have no say in anything they vote on. in Texas right now, they are talking about legalizing gambling. i would vote yes in a heartbeat, but the texas senate has to ok it first before we can even vote on it. and the religous people are trying to block it....if they just sent it to the voters, and let us decide, i wouldn't have a problem with it even if it was voted out... but the texas senate things we are it's sheep, and it knows whats best for us. all republican here, btw... I disagree, respectfully, as usual. If you read or watch the decaying education in this country, and how much less and less the average worker or voter really KNOWS about politics and laws and the constitution and healthcare and education and international relations or how ANY of it is supposed to work, and if you look at how easily lead the general public is by the MEDIA,,,, I truly dont want just ANY hard working American making those decisions. For me, I want someone with knowledge of how the process works, with knowledge about the constitituion, about their job description, and who shows an ability to LEARN things rather quickly and to work well with others and respect authority as so many issues will come up that will have to be researched first, and so many decisions will have to be made that will require a sense of teamwork and respect for the process and the chain of command. well, i still think the people should have a choice... texas has been run by the southern baptist for to long, and their ways are not my ways. the people are supposed to have a choice when they pick their candidate and vote at the polls, but as I said, so many are lead by negative campaigns and ads with statements out of context,,, I think we truly have become easily lead and lazy thinkers in this country who rely on anothers point of view without looking at a balance of information and drawing our own conclusions. i understand, but when the elected official 1. is either paid 2 thinks he knows more than everyone else 3. has his own aggenda things don't seem to get done the way they need to be... look at whats going on in our country, states and schools... everything is broke, huge deficits, and no one wants to even be a teacher to these unruly and uncontrollable kids. it's all because of elected officials not having the people in mind. In all fairness it seems like the Southern Baptist is thee majority in your area and you are the minority.....that would have to change.....just because you views do not fit with theirls doesn't me the majority is not ruling in whatever area you live in..... |

I dont just want a puppet of the people, not when the people are becoming so much less educated, involved, or aware of anything that doesnt immediately affect them. Your right, Obama does need to get rid of the ego! |

I worry about our country being uninformed; political education is lacking; historical events forgotten. It isn't just a matter of Democratic or Republican, it goes deeper. Until each person does their homework it is just words being tossed around with no real meaning.

socialism as a model works, but when you interject human beings, their greed, and their egos,,,,,it doesnt work for me
extreme capitalism where people are only numbers to be valued by their material or net worth also doesnt work for me a BALANCE of people working TOGETHER for the greater good, without having to sacrifice their integrity or their individual value,, is more what I would prefer,,,,but thats just me |

At least with Republicans they will leave you alone and let you live your life they way you want to. Until it comes to the bedroom. Tell that to gays who want to marry. You had it right when you started off with 'both parties are bad.' |

really? this argument seems to imply that I have the right to marry anyone I love? which isnt the case
I have the right to marry any ADULT, who is UNRELATED, unmarried, and of the opposite sex love is not part of the RIGHT TO MARRY,, so everyone does have the same rights I do |

what was it on south park? vote for either a turd sandwich or a steaming pile? but you have to vote...no thanks, i'll let the people who actually know something about turd sandwiches and steaming piles do the voting... I don't HAVE to vote. In fact, I exercise my right to not vote regularly, as voting has long been a scam and distraction from real issues. |

Laissez-faire capitalism (as distinct from the fascialist/corpratist model that prevails now) is the only way on this Earth that your ideals of "balance" are achievable. |
