Voting Sophisms

Nearly 70% of Americans are dissatisfied with the job that the President is doing1, and Congressional job approval is even worse.2 The economy is in the tank. Consumer confidence is at an all-time low. The national debt is at an all-time high. The government is engaged in a series of unpopular wars and “strategic” military and political interventions in many foreign countries--with no end in sight.

So, what happened? These are the politicians that the voters chose to represent them. This is the President that the people asked for. This is the Congress that the citizenry demanded. Is it possible that voters made a mistake?

If you vote for a bad politician, you are partly responsible for the misdeeds of that politician.
