i would like to see term limits ... this will not solve the problem without some kind of level of money to candidates.. It is so important, who ever gets the most money will win the election... Why, I assume most people do not pay any attention to who is running , what they are running on, only to what name is most familiar to them...

For example, we have robot voting.. unions tell their members who to vote for and they go in, vote for that person.. I know from growing up in that environment... I recently asked a few how they voted. They do not read up on candidates, watch tv, nor discuss politics , it's just not on the agenda.. how do they vote, whom ever the union supports.. then you have abortion.. regardless of someone's qualifications if they do not support abortion they will not vote for them. We have an agenda and companies have millions, billions of dollars to throw at congress through lobbyists.
But now matter how imperfect the system, we seem to make some progress and maybe that is not bad. the far right and far left need some point of center. g

Oh, Kerry announced he is not taking Federal funds on Friday and today they say his campaign people are telling him his funds are drying up. They are having big time problems getting checks for him.
