No, we, as voters, need to be much more diligent in researching the candidates. That takes effort on our part, but failing to do so brings us to the point we are now at -- a lost democracy.
One of the areas we must research is where the money is coming from for each candidate. Make no mistake, people giving the money will expect much more in return once their puppet gains office. Is the money coming from a corporation backed group or from a people backed group? Remember, the CMP will "sell' those who pay them.
Getting back to Wisconsin, and the Tea Party movement one can only begin to realize why we, the voter, needs to become more diligent in casting our vote. All the money and all the propaganda is not more valuable than our vote. We must begin using our intelligence in determining what we want from our elected officials. Do we want them to support us? Or do we want them to continue to build corporate power?
