I'll agree with a "fuck em all" mentality all day, but as sad as it is, we need politicians. Average joe shmo just doesn't have the experience, smarts, or general political knowledge to run for office, which is why we vote for, and then pay for people to run our country for us.

As much good as it would do to have a 37 party system made up of average nobodys like myself, it just isn't going to happen. Our country has entrenched itself in a 2 party system.

This is where it goes back to voting for the lesser of 2 evils. The most we can hope for is that when we hold our representitives accountable, they decide it is in their best interest to not fuck us.

I vote democrat (usually) because even when they fuck up, at least they are trying to help people. The last republican administration took away a bunch of civil liberties, wiretapped it's own citizens, and gave tax breaks to their rich friends. Now bush/hitler icon aside, I just can't bring myself to vote for a party that defines itself by morality and religion, and then acts the way they do.

When a 3rd, 4th or 5th party candidate becomes a viable option, I'll vote for them, but unless we have an American Revolution pt II, we're gonna have to keep picking dem or repub, and make the best decision we can between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
