The root cause of the problem is the people who keep voting for crappy politicians.

The arguement at hand his which side keeps electing crappy politicians.

Not really. The root cause is money and greed that is in politics that allow for the nomination of crappy politicians. It's not the voters it's the money and greed that corrupts the politicians.

I'm going to use your cancer reference to segue into a different reason we should be very careful with refuges, and another reason I don't want them without severe vetting.

Disease always travels with large migrations of people. Since the beginning of the illegals crossing our southern border en mass, disease has traveled with them. We now have Chagas in the US, a more drug resistant TB, and the enterovirus 68 that has been paralyzing kids when they catch it. MERS is one of the more common problems right now.

It's the ones you don't know of, or the ones that quickly adapt to new hosts that will be the problem. Ellis Island was also a quarantine camp to keep people from bringing in new diseases. We should practice the same sort of caution.

If it's not the voters, then why do they spend so much time arguing that it's not their politicians, it's the other ones that are ruining everything?

When it comes down to it voters will ultimately vote for the lesser of two evils and choose who they think will protect American's and their values. Blaming voters for the choices given to them, (the nominees), is self degrading. That is if you vote. And if you don't, shame on you.

Obama is America's biggest threat.

But congress has an approval rating of about 4.2 and yet we keep re-electing incumbents.... how does that happen? And we vote them in, then we defend them, we fight FOR them, we excuse bad behavior if "it's one of ours".... our responsibility doesn't end the day you cast the ballot. We still need to hold them accountable, even if it's one of your own..

Fixed it for ya.

Obama is Fox News's greatest asset.. he makes them a small fortune.. just like he does for gun dealers. If Fox News wants to make the most amount of money possible, they are pulling for Hillary. She will be the most divisive, she will drive ratings through the roof.

The balance of power in congress has swayed back and forth over the years. Incumbents don't always get re-elected. The balance sways. It's only in the last 7 years congress approval rating has plummeted. IMO that's due to obstructionist's govt shut down and the haters.

On the right side the voters have one steaming, stinky, piece of sheet to chose from. On the left they have anther steaming, stinky piece of sheet to vote for. Either way they end up with a steamy, stinky, pile of sheet. So who do they vote for? The one who smells more like their on sheet.
