The system as we know it is broken and beyond repair. It's all about the politicians offering enough goodies to this or that special interest group....basically buying votes is what it is. Nothing to do with the overall good of the country.

I just LMFAO at people who still believe in the system and the Demorats/Republirats, two peas in a pod....corrupt to the core and insane.

McCain didn't win because Bush was very unpopular.

Romney didn't win because after Obama was elected, the Republicans became so crazed out of their minds and Romney managed to disengage and/or alienate enough people that Obama was able to win, despite being the weakest incumbent presidential candidate ever. It took skill for Romney to lose.

The sheeple that are so gung ho about their party that they vote without any regard to what they're voting for are a lost cause.

People that continue to vote Democrat or Republican are obviously a lost cause!
I agree, if you don't contribute to society they shouldn't be able to vote.

...So how do you get the sheep to stop being sheep?
McCain and Romney didn't use Tv and Internet? Weird, that's not how I remember it.
