The real issues will never get discussed because it might jeopardize votes come this November. There are so many issues that will never get tapped because it hasn't gotten to the point of unmanageability yet. That seems to be our #1 way we learn. We wait until things becomes so ridiculous that we have to do something. Both parties suck. We have this back and forth partisan see-saw between Democrat and Republican. I don't know what its going to take for a deviation. Most people are uninformed at whats going on, and I personally would have them not vote at all, then go to the polls because they are a Democrat or Republican and vote by party only. Ron Paul had his faults, but he was the closest to touching the real issues, and you see how people tried to shut him up? It may be a free country but certain restrictions apply. We all like to believe someone is behind the wheel because god forbid someone takes personal responsibility. People are going to believe what they want to believe, regardless of what the mainstream media tries to shove down our throats.
