Disillusioned Bayh advocates electoral “shock” to broken system
... newly retiring Sen. Evan Bayh declared the American political system "dysfunctional," riddled with "brain-dead partisanship" and permanent campaigning. ... Bayh argued that the American people needed to deliver a "shock" to Congress by voting incumbents out en masse and replacing them with people interested in reforming the process and governing for the good of the people, rather than deep-pocketed special-interest groups.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I finally saw something I never expected to see. A politician speaking honestly about the federal government and politics in general. Of course the ONLY reason Senator Evan Bayh could be honest is that he is retiring from politics. Even so, Senator Evan Bayh is articulating something that the news media and the administration from the president on down are either ignoring or ridiculing.
We currently have government of the special interest groups, by the special interest groups and for the special interest groups. No amount of "Brainwash America" tours by the administration and its minions will change that. When the citizens of the United States elected "hope and change" they didn't realize that the "hope" was to get elected and the "change" was for a dollar.
politics = from the words "poly", meaning "many", and "ticks", as in "small, blood-sucking parasites".
