There are a lot of morons that should not get a term. Come on. Senator Rush Limbaugh? :puke: Legislating is a highly techinical process. There are a lot of high end issues that should only really be hanfdeled by folks with the right skills, education and background.

I think a parlementary system is the best route. Give minorities a say. Make them pander to us to get anything done. I think the whole winner takes all crap is horrible. It guarnatees that at any given time up to 50% of the population can be totally disenfranchized.

Then there is the fucking electoral college and our terminally fucked up primary/causus system. One if a total anachronism meant for days when it took three weeks to hear the president had been shot. No winner of the popular vote should EVER not get the job that poeple voted them to have. It is totally bogus that such a possibility even exists.

The primaries/caucuses should be revised so as not to give a totally disproportionate say to Iowa and New Hampshire ever time. That pisses me off. Why do they get the preferential treatment (and I ask that with long standing roots in Iowa? The winner in those states almost always goes on to win. People like to vote for poeple that won before./ Makes them feel included or something. Get rid of those two issues and we'd be half way there if you ask me.
