It is for this reason that I now support the idea of a "None Of The Above" option in the US election process. Enough of these votes should send the parties back to find new candidates. The reality is that we don't get good choices for political office in this country any longer but it likely won't change because the two major parties will not really allow it to change. We no longer vote for the best candidate here in the US. Rather, we vote for what we view to be the lesser of two evils. Which one will screw things up the least.
Oh yeah, I'm registered too.
