None of the candidates fits those requirements; it's a sad point in the history of our country.
Yup, hence the "pigs at the trough" analogy. A fundamental change needs to happen from the bottom up. The knucklehead with his/her feet propped up on the desk in the Oval Office is not the only major overhaul we need.
All of Congress needs to be replaced with those people willing to think and act as the representatives they're supposed to be instead of the entitled elite they think they are.
This is true of both parties, IMO.
CI, I'm a pretty cynical person, but I do believe real change is possible but only after the voters pull their collective heads out of their butts and stop rubber stamping these losers.
