Funbob, the problem with that lies in politics itself. If you've ever read "all the king's men" by robert penn warren, it might help you understand what i'm saying. we can't just out of the blue elect someone who's really there to do right and will govern by true beliefs. in essence, we cannot elect someone who is not a career politician, it takes years to really get going in the game, and in order to come to power, almost every politician must make some kind of sacrifice, be it moral, or legislative, in order to move up the food chain, one can start out in politics that way, but through the years, after back alley dealings and forfeited causes, the passion, the respect, the ability to do what they truly set out to do is lost. example: Senator Bob wants to pass a piece of legislature helping little puppies, but in order for it to pass, he must get the support of Senator Joe, for that he must either promise that he will support Joe's proposal to kill orphaned kitties, or promise to help him somewhere down the line. that's just how politics works. and even if you replaced everyone in office now, that kind of operating would still arise. my point is mainly, idealism in politics is a fallacy.
