How could they with millions in the bank while most Americans only have thousands set aside? Also, despite the fact most Americans are moderate, we can't get a moderate candidate because the republican and democrat system is only giving us people who are WAY left and right. Again, these people don't represent us.
And lobbying should be illegal... I'd much rather if elections were paid for with tax money and not simply open to whomever has the most cash to run.

I wouldn't say we have a gov't that is currently overly left. I don't recall universal health care being passed; nor any new laws being put on the books that strengthen unions/collective bargining to help ensure workers salaries are actually ahead of, rather than just below, inflation; nor do I recall any excessive capital gains taxes being levied. Actually the tax burden shifted all of about 3% onto those who can most afford it rather than on those who can't.

Also, although I'm pretty happy with the current admin and impressed by most of their efforts, I'm NOT happy that Bush era warrantless wire tapping wasn't made illegal. Maintaining that policy is definitely more right than left.

Eight years of Dubya shifted the discussion so far to the right, people identify anyone interested in some basic regulation aimed at protecting people as a granola crunching hippy.

Or a Nazi, hilariously enough. Go figure.
