You know, with all the dipshits we have in the government, we need as a people to vet our candidates better. I think from Mayors on up should have to go through a standard investigation when they sign up to be a candidate. Look into their finances, look into their history; if in government before, show their voting record.
blah blah blah... before they are allowed to claim their candidacy.
This is an effort to show the people exactly who they are voting for.
Someone runs as a republican and you can see their voting record looks pretty liberal... well, we can avoid those RINO's.
Maybe have a civics test for them, make sure they know how Government works.
Maybe have a test on the Constitution, make sure they know how that works.
Maybe an I.Q. test so we don't have congress people thinking islands can capsize.
Show their REAL NAMES (What's on their birth certificate)
Lie detector tests.
Drug tests.
That kind of ****. If we keep electing people who are not qualified in anything except thievery. People who have no idea how the economy works. We're going to stay in this **** hole our government has put us in.
Ronald Reagan was right. Government is not the solution, it's the problem. Our government is made by the people we elect (if it's an honest vote), why not devise some system to get more information on them than the lies they spew to get elected?
IF they want to run for an office to serve "We the People" then they should be able to lay everything out there so we know who we are voting for.
I'm not trying to see people disqualified or anything... That's up to the people. I'm saying get accurate information out there for the people to see. I know this isn't the perfect solution, but it'd be a start.
