Yes, there is that too but I do blame the voters to some degree. They are the ones who claim to be dissatisfied with the Republicans in Congress yet as Matt says, there’s a good chance that come November that the GOP could have a majority in both houses.

I agree. People don’t take responsibility enough (look at 3% turnout in the primary). The problem is that elected officials is becoming more of a popularity contest than anything else. Since when do we want the average guy (Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin) drafting laws? Since when was it a good thing to vote in a complete moron who can barely follow laws let alone write them?

Name recognition is celebrity. Celebrities do not follow normal reason. And then there’s what I call the FDR factor. Would someone who couldn’t walk well or in a wheelchair be elected POTUS today? I doubt it. Imagine FDR, a Dem, in today’s political arena. He would not be a manly man…he can’t even do the Easter egg hunt! He isn’t healthy enough to be POTUS. He’s too old. He’s too…too…too…Democrap.
