Sorry Clay, you need to pull back a bit. While many of your individual points are valid as a whole you're just a too hard lined to be taken seriously. It's quite easy to look at the political system as a whole and see the inefficiencies and problems that are prevalent on the surface, it's quite another to dive into the muck and start fixing them.
The devil is in the details as they say, it's not just as simple as "Rob Anders is an embarrassment to public office, there for all politicians are just feeding at the public trough".
Is there corrupt politicians out there that are truly just in it for money & don't give a rats *** about the public? Yes, of course there is. But given the amount of time/money/commitment it takes to reach public office they are in the minority.
"Questioning everything" is a fun game to play for sure, but it offers no real solutions. You can however make quite a career out of it (Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck etc) if you choose. But just realize making noise/pointing out problems is not the same thing as being heard & solving problems.
