Elected offices are for the rich or those that are willing to sell their souls for political contributions from the big multinational and special interest groups. Until we see real campaign reform, nothing in Congress is going to change regardless of which party is in control.Elections are little more than popularity contests. The same people who ruled the playground and the prom grow up to rule in politics.

“It makes no difference who you vote for - the two parties are really one party representing four percent of the people”That voting is even recognized as a valid way to make decisions is pretty much disturbing. A small shred of the public robbing and snooping on their neighbor while they hide in the privacy of their ballot box.

The elections are run by Democrats and Republicans and the major candidates for political office, those with the money and the media coverage, are decided by a relatively small percentage of the general poplulation. I think it is well past time that party primaries are replaced with bipartisian elections. At the very least give us a "None of the above" choice and allow the possibility of having the 2 major parties start over from scratch.

There are usually third party candidates on the ballot, as tough and unfair as it is for them to get on. People ignore them, however, and choose to support either the R or D even if they don't completely like them.
The OP is correct. These people only get to Congress because we've put them there.

Nothing like reducing a highly complex problem down to a simple formula that ignores all but one factor of the problem.
It makes coming up with a solution (that won't work) so easy.
