I have been saying for a long time that if you drew names from a hat from each congressional district, we would be better off. The problem with the current set of bozo's is that they care ONLY for themselves and don't give one twit for the American public.
Put the ones in there whose names you drew and make them be subject to every single law they pass and have to use the same health care and retirement systems that they vote on.
What enables the system we have, is the zealots that are stupid enough to think that their favorite bozo is better than the opposing bozo. This gullibility gets in the way of coming up with solutions. The zealots are supporting all the hair brain or dishonest ideas their guy comes up with just because it was their favorite crooked politician that came up with it.
There's nothing wrong with voting for the person that best matches your own ideas, but when you support a particular candidate no matter what, you are playing into the problems of this system.
The current bunch of two party self centered jackasses are killin' us.
