Anybody remember the phrase "of the people, by the people, and for the people?" It is a very sad state that we have come to the fact that it takes mega millions of dollars to win an elected office. For all of you folks who complain that laws are made for the wealthy, what else would you expect from our system. This phrase needs to be modernized to, "Of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy".
I also tire of hearing that a particular candidate is too "Liberal, Conservative, or any other collective ideology. Any one in an elected office should act on issues based on their merit, and not whether they are conservative, liberal etc. I suppose I am simply a little naive.
