A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

Ya know, I’ve been noticing that politics here in the US has been, at all levels, frequently amounted to what the SouthPark guys called a choice between a Douche and a Turd.

Representatives are often accused of not actually supporting their constituency and it’s got me to wondering…

Is one of the big problems with American Politics simply the fact that the citizenry aren’t involved in the process of selecting a candidate for their own party? Sure it happens a bit on the presidential level due to the publicity. But even that seems to be largely a spectator sport.

I have no numbers or research on this at all. It just strikes me that I don’t see people get involved in these races until it’s too late.
