Unite is part of this countries name!

It’s becoming increasingly clear that our political process has been turned to capture the 50% of the population that is below average intelligence.  This part of the population actually believes that one person can make major changes in the country.  We have to remember that politics is about power and power can be all consuming.  Keeping power that is in hand has become much more important to those in power, than helping the nation meet its’ challenges.  Does anyone really believe that guns, abortions, or gay people are going to go away?  These are issues that are only meant to inflame the passions of people and promote hate against those with other beliefs.  The reasons that both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are doing so well in the polls is that they are both recognized as not being bought by the big money interests.  Unfortunately, if either of these two is elected, we will see a lot of cross aisle co-operation being made to oppose everything that will be proposed by our non-bought president. We saw this with Governor Ventura.  Most of us agree that the flood of money into politics is the cause of our dysfunction.  Unfortunately it is the media that benefits from all this money, and they are unlikely to be of much help in getting rid of the problem.  As long as we see campaign funding coming from sources that can’t vote for the candidate we will see politicians willing to go against the people that voted them in.  Our current crop of politicians look to the divide and conquer method of obtaining power.  We must hold out for candidates who understand the unite and prosper method of ruling.
