Are the republican and democratic parties and the country as a whole suffering from bad government resulting from the currupting influence of power on our elected officals thinking processes because of the incredible amount of slack the rank and file gives the leadership? Is this what inevitably happens when we let our vigilant guard down by not helping keep them strait forward, honest, sharp, fair, skilled, altruistic, thoughtful, discaplined, wise, and just? Should we not tollerate at the very least the MOST absurd or obviously incorrect actions, descicions, judgements and behaviors because by doing so we let them, ourselves, our children, our country, the world and the hope for a bright present and even brighter future down because of the lousy government we end up with and the wrong things they end up doing and the right things they don't end up doing on a day to day basis? Is it our fault because in a democracy politicians always end up acting as badly as they can get away with
