Unless you count making sure that your agenda and cronies are getting a slice of the pie as "principle".

If you want to continue thinking that any of these politicians actually have your well-being in mind then go right ahead. And you get the govt. that we've had for decades and decades: corrupt, running deficit spending, huge debt, and American adventurism with the military all over the world.

I'm sorry it seems to offend you that I'm not satisfied with the way our govt. operates.
So how can you think your idea of what our govt would be will be any better? Libertarians for example push smaller govt and allowing business to step in. If there is even more areas in which business steps in we will see even more corruption.
