Oh god, please no...
I think it's high time we quit rewarding the ass-backwards way candidates get elected. Banish the GOP and DEM parties from selecting candidates. Let each candidate declare they are REP or DEM to try to lure the sheep if they want, be be done with the power structure the parties have. We should have two elections:
1) an open election, in which every citizen may run and every citizen may vote for whomever they damn well please
2) a closed election between the top 3 candidates from the first election
^In my own perfect world, this would get rid of the ****ty choices that could be rammed down our throat, because the choices would be determined by the general public. Hopefully at least one of the candidates would be worth a damn, and they would get elected. If not, at least we elected a crappy candidate because
we chose him... twice.
