hype7's Journal: The best post on politics I've seen on /.

http://politics.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=122470&cid=10301169

The story is the interview with the Libertarian candidate, and the topic this guy is responding to is the American Presidential election, and who should be elected.

"... that the only people fit for office are those smart enough to know they don't want the job in the first place."

This is true of virtually all candidates - those career politicians are not to be trusted. It's the people who are fed up, and want to do something about the system, that make the best politicians. Remember, Washington didn't even want the job!

The problem is, nowadays they get treated like fringe nutjobs by other candidates, and the press just laps it up.
