I think that all politicians in both parties are lobbyist.

    That's politics, it begins with the purchase of candidates and ends with the candidates purchasing the voters.

    How 'bout eliminating the party system as a whole; therefore making the politicians run as individuals rather than party members. They won't be stereotyped easily and voters would be forced to look into what they stand for instead of filling in all the blanks of people from their favorite party.

    it was just a thought. I in another hand take action by not voting. I personally feel that even if you do they have no interest in you.

    Despite what people think I really do feel proud that I've never voted. Sorry, but after spending some time analyzing politics when I was younger and buying into the hype, I eventually came to the realization that I would have just as much of an effect throwing my vote in the trash.

    I think that was attempted a while back, and Obama demanded the party affiliation be shown for the candidates so Blacks would know who to vote for. The issues don't often seem to be important to the voters.

    You might find that you have voted more than you realize, just without knowing.

    Plus, just by not voting you are voting for the status quo.

    That's also achieved by giving either party a free rein to set the agenda. People need to become more involved in the creation of single agenda for each party to produce a method of achieving desirable results.
    With the Fed about to print another $600 billion of fiat currency, the wealth on paper will increase by well over a couple of trillion dollars, most of it to the wealthiest, while increasing the cost of living, driving up wage demands, diminishing the value of savings, while providing government the ability to show positive economic growth in relation to an otherwise floundering economy.
    Politicians wield the upper hand as long as the people remain divided, and we continue to swing left and right solving nothing, but only creating more problems and worsening those that previously existed.
    As I've said before, solutions should be sought only after first identifying a problem to exist in a way that all can accept. Then and only then can rational and reasonable discussion begin and proceed in a way that leads to the acceptance of an equally agreeable solution.
