The people are the ones that keep voting for republicans and democrats. People never vote for who they truly feel could run, they only vote for what they think is a lesser of two evils. The republicans have taken religion and made it political instead of religious and have thus ruined religion and caused themselves to be major hypocrites by spouting one thing but doing another. The democrats don't know how to unify and stand their ground are just plain wimpy. And the only people that speak up are the crazies such as the tea party who are the last thing that could ever represent america. the problem isn't the politician. Its the people.

We were only interested in their sex or race or party or whether or not they were good-looking or well-spoken. We never asked ourselves if they had character or high morals or were men or women of integrity (because we didn't think that was important), and we never bothered to check out their background or voting record (in the event they already held a public office). In many ways, and I hate to say this, but our elected officials are a direct reflection of what we have become ourselves as a people. As a country, we have told God we don't need Him, trashing the 10 Commandments by allowing them to be removed from our schools. We've replaced His absolutes with our own and ours don't work. We've grown complacent and have taken our freedom for granted and, as a result, are unable to recognize when there's a Trojan Horse is in our midst. Ask yourselves who your heroes are. Who are your role models? Are they men or women who don't have very high moral standards or ethics? If so, that will affect your life choices, including political candidates. We had the privilege of living in the greatest country of the world, but we didn't take seriously the responsibility as its citizens to try and elect leaders of the highest caliber. We only paid attention to what they said, but not what they did.
