so you're not interested in the general well-being of the citizenry, but rather in electing people who impose your beliefs on the citizenry--presumably because you think your politics are better and smarter than those of others.

and you're not interested in procedural transparency either--which is bizarre given the implication of your preference for smaller government--which is typically accompanied by claims that smaller administrative units are more transparent. instead, you have a stalinist understanding--the end justifies the means.


and you see environmental groups as a problem to boot.
but you trust oil corporations.

the system is designed to prevent ideologues like you from being able to simply impose their fiats on the rest of us--the bush-cheney crew operated like a cabal in this instance, shutting out divergent viewpoints and imposing ideologically (and factionally beneficial) results on the rest of us. it is to prevent this sort of thing that there are checks and balances--which presumably you only care about when there's a democrat in power.
