This article is founded on a misconception that any non-American is likely to harbor. America is a land of self-governing individuals (or, at least, that's the premise). If you want to see the relationship between those who govern and those who are governed, look in a mirror. If you expect to be governed by someone else, you may be Canadian or someone from any other nation. We're the only ones who ever tried it.

COL Ted Mc
CPT Jack Durish - Captain; That may well be the premise, but it's not necessarily the reality (and probably hasn't been since the Civil War).
On the other hand, the POTENTIAL for the electorate to take back control of their own government so that they have a government of the electorate, by the electorate, and for the electorate is still there.
PS, Do you know what country will celebrate an anniversary falls on September 3, 2016? [HINT - It's the 1,715th anniversary of the founding of the world's oldest, existing, republic.]

Although a bit extreme, it does register the issue that is prevalent throughout the constituency. We are tired of being lied to by both parties and hope this election will send a message to DC. "We are mad as Hell and won't take it anymore." The real interesting part will be is how mad the population is with their own Congressmen/women.

COL Ted Mc
MCPO Roger Collins - Master Chief; Although a majority of Americans DO NOT agree with "THE incumbent politicians should be re-elected." a majority of Americans Do agree with "MY incumbent politicians should be re-elected.".
In other words, "Toss everybody else's bums out but leave my bums alone.".

COL Ted Mc - Then I'm an exception. My Congressmen could be replaced with Democrats, and based on performance, we wouldn't know the difference.
