Re: Too many politicians
Politicians are human. What you see in Washington, and far too many other capitals, is what you get when you give human beings too much power. Everybody keeps thinking in terms of "who can use this power to fix everything for us?" Their answer, of course, is always somebody from their faction/gang/political party.
I say get rid of the power. Decentralize. More federalism, less totalitarianism. Make it less important who the president and senators are. Elect representatives and executives, not gods.
I'm actually hearing some conservatives wonder who's going to be the "leader" of the tea party movement and tell everyone what to do. Talk about unclear on a concept!
