Every member of Congress says how much they care for children, but there are a lot of votes by many members of Congress that show they don t really care for children. Or they say how much they care for the environment, or consumer protection, or livable wages. They don t really care for these constituencies. Private money in public elections nullifies, neutralizes or disgusts the voters in this country. Disgust results in half of the people not even voting.
Nullification occurs when political promises are broken.
The promise is made to the voter, who believes the promise. The voter votes and then, sayonara, once the politician is elected and begins to spend every day being wined and dined, entertained or just funded by vested interests. He s very energetic. Obviously he s got to work day and night to deal with the factions and rules of his party. I think one of the problems with the Reform Party has been that it doesn t have a distinct identity.
