Sad, simple fact; Dem or Repub, the minute someone gets elected, they start planning their next election and who they need to stroke to get it. Sometimes I wonder if a new political party would be the answer or not. Perhaps limiting every Federal elected officer to one term of say, six years and making re-election impossible. There are pros and cons to this, I know; but a new party will be just as liable to fall into the same crooked schemes that the current ones employ. Ultimately, it isn't the Party, though. It's the People who re-elect the same crooks to office time and time again who are ultimately at fault. Under our system of government, we get what we deserve and not what we want. We're the ones who allowed the two existing parties to go the way they did and we're the ones who will have to fix the situation. Maybe a new party is the answer. Maybe not. Maybe there is no one answer. At least the damage is restricted to used car dealers...and nobody trusts them anyway.
