I 'll admit it, I'm not very politically savvy, but that doesn't mean I don't care about Government and how it affects peoples lives, etc. But do you (D's or R's) think that by B. Obama asking how to get people more involved in the democratic process on Y!A is a very clever ploy to guage what issues he thinks a cross section of Americans want to see changed or implemented? This is exactly what politicians do. They pretend to really care about the average American (when will we start to see them holding babies?) and try to act like they are on our side and want to make changes, but then, nothing ever really changes. We still end up with D's & R's fighting and squabbling over the same old issues. I guess my question is why should we trust ANY of the politicians? And yes, I do believe that America has the best system in the world for the democratic process, I just can't shake this feeling that they are all liars (politicians) and that its a waste of time and energy to get involved.

Please do not respond if you just want to bash me or my question. I really am trying to have an open mind, and understand. There have been so many issues that need adressed, and you get told to lobby your representatives, and you end up just being so frustrated because obvious solutions take so darn long to get changed from wrong to right, and all the red tape, and I end up feeling like is throwing my hands up and giving up on believing I or anyone else can really make a difference by getting involved. Any sincere advice would be appreciated.

Senator Clinton asked a question here several weeks ago.

In regards to your other comments, study the issues and the candidates, pay attention to current events, and make the best decisions you can based on what you've learned, and make sure your decisions reflect your personal values and beliefs. It is not a waste of time to get involved. If we want to maintain our democracy in America, we must all be involved.

Also, politicians rarely care about average Americans. Even though some politicians may have been regular people at one time, getting to where they are has made them forget that. Power and money corrupt even good people. Always has, always will.

All you can do is stay true to yourself, and vote for people who support what is important to you. Don't listen to what they say. Check their voting record. It speaks louder than kissing a baby ever will.
