isnt it about time american voters fess up about all the countries problems and blame themselves?

Question

Its our faults we keep voting it the same 2 parties

Answer 1

Vote Libertarian.

Answer 2

It's not the voters' faults, it's the false bill of goods that run for president. They all tell you pretty lies, then get voted in, only to do whatever they want. We need politicians who stand by their word and actually live a moral life, in and out of the public eye. That's who we should encourage to run for office. I haven't seen a good candidate in all my life, no matter which party was running. All we can do is pick the best from the worst, and hope for the best. Unless YOU want to run. Think you can do better? Then DO IT, don't just yammer on about it all being the voters' fault. I voted for the lesser of the evils that were out there. I didn't get what I thought I voted for. Every election I vote in, I never get what I thought I voted for. They've all let me down. So what is a person to do? Can't NOT vote. Then I wouldn't have a right to bellyache. The only thing I CAN do is to vote for the lesser of the evils that are available. Voting for Dudley Do Right won't help either 'cause he's Canadian. So, if you can do better by America, then get your butt out there and start campaigning. Let us know how you do. And while you're at it, go take over Teddy Kennedy's seat. He's gotten way too comfortable, and he's still a drunk. <*)))><

Answer 3

It is ultimately the voters fault that the same people keep the offices they hold. Look at Congress, there are many members there with over 20 years in office, and many many more with over 15. These seats were not meant to be jobs people retire from. It was the initial intent (or spirit) that new people and fresh eyes be put in those offices every 2, 4, 6, 8 years.

It is ultimately the voters responsibility to remove these people, but why should voters take responsibility for anything when political figures do not.

Answer 4

Yes, we vote by party affiliation, we don't vote, we don't listen to the candidates, we don't try to understand the issues, we vote because the candidate was related to someone else, e.g., Kennedy, we get our opinions by listening to sound bites and ads, we let the issues be decided or get greatly influenced by special interests, and we don't ask questions. So, to the extent you believe our ills our caused by our elected representatives, its our fault.
We have more than two parties. Most times they're on the ballot for the higher offices, e.g., president, senator. The two party system has served the country well. With a number of parties, the confusion that exists now will just be multiplied. Imagine trying to pass a bill if you have four or five parties you have to get approval from or who are offering amendments.

Answer 5

I think people who voted GWB in 2000 and reelected him again should take the blame for all the deaths in Iraq and the rest of the damage this man and the republicans have done to America.

Answer 6

well, i tell ya what.......maybe if they were really "parties" this country would be a better place! now the party platform -- they could really do some great things! Perhaps we should elect the boys from animal house!

Answer 7

One of our foremost problems is we are a country full of illiterate people who do not know how to formulate a correct sentence nor know how to write properly.

Thank you for providing another example of that problem.
