IS AMERICAN RUN BY EXTREMISTS, BECAUSE NORMAL PEOPLE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO??


[+] serious ballot by jappy
ACTIVE Wed Jun 21, 06 - Mon Mar 16, 09

Political activists tend to be extremists, on either end of the political spectrum, because the rest of us have better things to do. Is this why we can't ever seem to have normal people in Congress, in the White House, in politics in general??? Is this what happens when it comes to voting too? Too many normal people decide it's not worth it because there are far too many video games to play, far too many reruns of 80's movies like 16 Candles and Die Hard on TNT and USA, and too many different kinds of beers to end up face down in the bathroom with???

There has to be some reason why currently 98% of incumbents in Congress continue to get voted in, I wonder when it is that an incumbent finally realizes he will NOT be relected? Is it when he's finally in prison for what he's done, serving a 10 year sentence?

Does he then think to himself "You know what? I don't think I'm going to run for re-election this time" It sure seems that way.

So why is it that there are so few normal typical moderates in Congress, is it because the people who vote are typically abnormal left and right wing radicals?

Yes, this is why
No, this is not why
Normal people also don't like being exposed under the public light.

COMMENTS:
I think it's because the normal among us, who see the crap that's going on day-in and day-out and want to do something about it, see what the political process is like (the blatant lies and slanders in campaign commercials, etc.), and decide that they have better things to do. Like downloading gay porn or Fred Phelphs' computer.

same reason why retirees become suddenly active in politics, it's because they actually ahve time to bother with all the politics and its associated nonsense :)

I think it is because political extremists are more passionate and, hence, more willing to invest time, energy, and money into getting candidates elected that refelct their interests.

Its just because I'm not old enough to run things yet. Once I am, I will dominate the world and you will all like it or perish.
