Three choices for president is really not that many...it would be interesting if you would make like that quiz and just pick yes or no on certain topics...then a presidential candidate would be assigned to you. Hmm...
*runs for president*

I'm sorry, but did you even read what I posted?
The problem in all of this is that most of what you believe is only true to a VERY small degree. Really look at who is paying for all of those slash ads. Many of them are paid for by interest groups or corperations that want to help a candadite, but can't give hard money to them. Find out about "hard money" and "soft money." "Soft money" will be banned as of Nov. 6! Most every politician that will ever do
anything to change your life is
not corrupt and is
not just in it for fame/glory. If fact, most of them will lose money by helping you out.
Also, the problem with having 20 candidates for an office is that there would never actually be a majority vote on something. It would end in even more people frustrated with our government. Here's something to help some people out:
Politics: A non-violent method to solve constant contradiction between people.
All politics is is a method to solving problems. It's all about compromise. Well, part of that is voting for someone who believes in
most of the things you do even if they're not all of them. vote for the one who you think has the best experience and will do the best job. Vote for the person who you think really wants the job for the job, not for the little perks it may give.
The fact that most people think that all politicians lie, cheat, and steal is a product of our nation's negative attitude twards almost everything. All we
want to see in the news is lying, cheating, and stealing...so, that's all we see. We never get the good things on the news or in the newspaper. So why else would we think that there's anything else?
The fact is is that it's not the politicains ruining our government, it's people who have mentalities and a lack of empathy like this. By having this mentality, you are just giving in to what you disagree in.
