Some interesting ideas. I find it arrogant to believe the voters stupid or that they cannot think for themselves, I think the American people are very able to vote for what is truly in the nation's best interest (including it's leaders), however, it takes great leaders to run in order to get voted for.

I agree with this whole heartedly, our eaders have for too long been greedy and in politics for themselves and not standing up for what they believe is best for the nation, rather they stand for what their party, the lobbyists and special interests tell them to.
Adding a true 3rd party may very well be the answer. It could stand up and be the decidning votes for certain laws. The problem is that whenever a third party has been tried it has been swallowed up by another party because they lack interest.
