We are in this mess because people choose to vote for those who are popular. Most of the people in office now have no clue what they are doing and many have betrayed the United States and ran off to other nations along with your stolen gold.
Next election, think carefully before you choose your candidate.

"We are in this mess because people choose to vote for those who are popular."
So, we'd be better off voting for people we don't know or don't like?
"Most of the people in office now have no clue what they are doing.."
True, but most of the people who ran against them were just as bad, sometimes worse.
"..and many have betrayed the United States and ran off to other nations along with your stolen gold."
How many? Who are they? How did they steal this gold?
LOL I guess this excludes the USWP delegation, as we all left the 20th congress to fight on the PTO front eh?
Seriously an unwise idea. Yes, some career politicians have made mistakes. But keep in mind that many Senators that influenced decisions are no longer in the mix or wanting to run anymore. Its a complicated mess and congress is prone to groupthink. Anyone and everyone can be swayed from their enthusiastic point in a vote by a determined voice arguing the opposite. A once certain majority changes to a No vote. Look at the N.Y hospital. And most of those senators were first termers.
Read the presentation of the candidate, look at their past if you will, and make your decision. Generalisations of any kind will never change the representation in congress.
