What if no one cares enough to try to clean up the mess that our country is in, and doesn't seem to be improving.  So no one wants to be elected?

There will always be a president.  Someone always wants the office...many as the ultimate power trip.  Think of it, the fame and power of being the elected head of a country.  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the brightest and the best...it usually means a wealthy, dishonest, career politician with his own agenda...not a normal, intelligent, middle income john q. public who really cares about the U.S. and the people.  Just my own opinion....

Aren't things already screwed up enough?!  If they aren't then let the government in and they will be!

Let's NOT assume there's going to be a world government, get RID of that idea...other countries need to work a lot harder at solving their own problems instead of trying to vote themselves into the United States or whatever...

Then they (and we) should stand up and clean up our own messes. \n\nLive next to a crack house, you get what you get.

It sucks but it's all we got. Fight for free and fair elections. Help out at http://blackboxvoting.org/

No matter what efforts we as individuals may take based upon our hearts and our principles, those efforts are generally nullified when the relative few people who vote vote with their wallets or out of misinformed fear.  Consider the outcome of the 2004 Presidential Election for a clearer understanding of my meaning.\n\nAnd, yes, there is still hope.  I care and so do you.  Isn't that a start?

I know how you feel. Our country is not free anymore. Bush is the cause. Just hope and pray someone can clean his mess when he leaves office.

Dunno for sure...but do know for sure ANYONE in office now does not get my next vote.  I'm all for starting from a clean slate........

Every country has the government and political system it deserves. That includes the electoral rules and systems.\n\nSo if things are not right (and I agree that they are not right), the people will have to act accordingly.\n\nNo country can be ruled or controlled against the will of the people. However, if the people are too dumb, ignorant or lazy to care for their own future, you get a country like the USA.\n\nThose who don't care will be taken care of.

I would have to say no. A lot of the things they do are there to help us, and a lot do. But then there are a lot of things that don't. We need a change in this country. A reform. Maybe a revolution. The corrupted needs to be cleaned up.

I agree 100% with everything you've said except that the Republican party is fractured.  I know too many idiots that are happy with the current situation  (...mostly because they live in a small world centered around themselves and are naive to everything that doesn't directly present itself to them).  And naivete is the problem anyway.  Americans wouldn't be in this mess if more of us weren't so naive to the issues and our role in political process.  The political process might be part of the problem, but the election probably wouldn't have fallen the way it did if it hadn't been so close in the first place.  And who's to blame for letting it get that close?  At least half of US, for voting with our heads up our derrieres.  I sincerely hope we do better next time around.  Actually, to dig ourselves out of this pit, we'll probably have to find someone just as GOOD as Bush is BAD.

Hopeful that America will come to its sences, and stop interfearing with the internal affairs of others and clean our own house

A very decent and logical question. To answer it, I'd have to say, no, there's no one out there. We need to fix our own problems instead of waiting for a diety to fix them, or to say it's all in his plan.

No, for who is going to clean up that mess?

It isn't being dealt with at all,and won't be until the citizens have had enough, and clean-house. When it happens, as it must, I just hope it's done without bloodshed, but I doubt it. Those people up there aren't likely to give-up without a fight. They have had too much power for too long, and continue usurping more from the people, to which the power in this country lawfully belong.

Do due lack of anything else better to do.  I would be willing to bet that at least a third of them (if not more) did not vote at all in the last election.  \n\nNo vote=no right to gripe.

If our leaders are elected by the people, and corporations form to fill needs of consumers, which is sort of the same as the people, then we live in the world of our choosing. Sleeping in the bed we've made is tougher than making it, though...can you handle the truth about how selfish and belligerent and stupid people can be...there is no perfect world, and this one is a challenge sometimes. But, if you do right, save a little money, and avoid being an ignorant jackass, maybe try and help others here and there, you'll get further in life, I think...one thing to keep in mind when you read the news is that people do some stupid stuff out there for money. Most countries use money, and most countries have people that do stupid stuff in exchange for money. Be smart about what YOU do, and support/vote for candidates that show the same character. If that doesn't work, there's always recall elections...or move to tanzania...
