No argument here!

That's the most important part of the problem that is currently infesting our capital. We have elected individuals who have kissed the right bums, sold their souls to their local PACs and have utterly forgotten, if they ever understood, that they are there to represent the citizens of the United States.

But is that the fault of the elected (mis)representatives?

Or is it, instead, the fault of the voters who no longer bother to look at the qualifications of the candiates?
