Stlhead used the term 'mental midgets' in his post. It is a bit un-realistic. We the people elect those mental midgets and then
expect them to bow to our wishes. Most of them are only con-
cerned with assuring their re-election at the next go-round.

Does the media do such a good job of selling us a pig in a poke
where the candidates are concerned or does no one pay any
attention to the qualifications of any candidate at any time?
It seems that all elections above the local level are up to the
highest bidder.
Since all elections seem purchase affairs, how do you find a
politician that doesn't owe his/her soul to the special interest
groups or big business that some are always crying about?

And why do bjobs, dress stains, babes via the Bar Sinister or
extra marital affairs have anything to do with a candidiates
ability to take care of business?
