There are too many debates as the election of 2012 looms closer about the state of politics in this supposely great country. The field of Republicans that is slowly narrowing down to challenge for the presidency may be the worst that we, as voters, have seen in many elections. Some question the actual intelligence of the group that will be challenging President Obama and the Democrats, ex. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/04/opinion/sunday/bruni-pass-fail-and-politics.html? It really is not fair to call any challenger unintelligent, or a moron, or simply unaware of the needs of this country. In fact, it clearly is not the pool of politicians that are unintelligent...I leave that title to the American public. For so long, the plight of the presidency has dwindled because of the growing agendas in the House and the Senate. Anyone can and should clearly see that it is not the president that is in control anymore, but those that actually make the laws and battle with the president to pass or fail those laws and "allow" the President to look good or bad for the public.
Clearly, how we vote on the rest of the ballot is more important than the president because most Americans do not take the time to find out the particulars of who is running for the House and the Senate, what their morals and theories are on the functions of government, and if there are any behind the scenes motives or agendas that will hinder them fro doing what they need to do for the country. If we, as an intelligent public learned to put as much energy into evaluating all those running for office from local, to state, to federal, then the system will be more in sync with what we need as a country. Until then, all we can do is blame ourselves for not taking the initiative to change the sysytem and those in control. How can anyone legitimately contest the intelligence of anyone running for office of any level when we, as voters clearly do not care enough to actually learn ourselves. So take this heeding America: Sharpen your own mind and vote with wisdom, not blindness...it is the only way to take the country back for the people!
