I don't se the comparision between the arguement I made and what you percieve my argument to be.
Yes the federal government is powerful. Without that power it's nothing more than an overglorified UN. If the states were as powerful as they wanted to be, then instead of bitching that the central government was power-hungry and didn't give a damn about their affairs, they would bitch that the central government was useless and not doing anything. The desire of men is a hole that cannot be filled.
Also, if people are really nervous about who they vote for, then they should do some goddamn research on their candidates before they go to the polls instead of voting for whoever their political party/neighbors/tv/imaginary friends tell them to. You don't get to complain about the incumbent if you helped vote him in. Don't gimme that "I was lied to" crap.
