Liberal free for all coming to an end

Our government is run by a bunch of idiots. TSA lets a bunch of soldiers coming back from Afghanistan carrying a bunch of serious weaponry. Yes, unloaded, but still... Here's the crazy part. They bar one of the soldiers from boarding because he has nail clippers, which could potentially be used as a weapon to take control of the plane.

Do we really want these kinds of people running our health care system? That's another thing people from outside the US don't realize is how inept our government workers are.

A teacher in Florida was doing a magic trick for his students in which he made a toothpick disappear. He was fired for doing witchcraft. No joke. That's how bad it is here. The USA is a 3rd world country with the world's largest economy.

Yes, agreed, we have idiots from top to bottom. Of course most of them are conservatives. Liberals are intelligent, responsible politicians and know how to properly run the country in an honest efficient way, right?
Look at the evidence, the country is debt free, we have plenty of energy, our schools are the best and we are free of crime and drugs. What a wonderful country, right?

I don't think I implied it was only one political group in the government. They're both retarded. Politicians... step back from our money.

I think the only way we can get good government is to change the structure of Congress. The enormous cost of getting elected and reelected is corrupting the government. It makes Congressmen very susceptible to financial influence.
So I propose that Congressmen serve one term of six years only. Then they can concentrate on governing. An enhanced impeachment process could be implemented to kick out bad asses before their term runs out. I don't think there is any value in the seniority situation, the longer they are in, the more corrupt they get. Congressional staff does and would do most of the work on getting bills together.
Also, since the airwaves are owned by the government, a certain number of hours of TV and Radio time should be provided free for candidates.
Oh well, good government, just a dream.

Which candidates? With the prohibitave cost of running there are bound to be dozens, maybe hundreds more candidates. Do they all get their certain number of hours of fame?

Would you think a change in your political system would be a good idea?
Maybe a party proportional representation in place of a simple plurality voting system. Which could lead to multi party system, with more than two parties. Where everyone can choose a party that fits them the most instead of choosing the lesser evil.

I also get the impression that your campaigns are strongly based on blaming the others, evil rumours of the other, fear of something and money. It seems to me the own manifestos are less important, but I could have got that wrong.
