I do not think it is the system...not the candidates...it is US !!!!!! We, in my opinion, have become a bunch of lazy folks who dont want to work at anything. We make our decision on who to vote for, if we get our lazy butts out to vote, based on spin on what we consider our favorite news network.

We care more about who Ophrah supports than we do about policy..we just flat dont care..oh,we say we do..that is easy but we make no effort to learn about candidates in ALL elections, not just Presidential or what they stand for.

It is easier to just snipe at those we figure in some fashion is the enemy, and we get mad at the politicians but they realized a long time ago how lazy we are. Some over the years say..no negative campaigning but they find a way and we respond to it.

If this sounds negative I am sorry, but I just think we are a nation of enablers....someone once said that we get the leaders we deserve and it fits ! I posted a few days ago some statistics just from this board.....how many threads on slamming someone...how many about issues.....it was not even close, and to make my point...those who kept saying lets talk about issues NEVER EVEN POSTED IN THOSE THREADS ABOUT ISSUES.
