Political Confidence, or lack thereof?

I am by no means up to date on politics in this great nation of ours, but I did catch this article and had to post a response.

Dear Republicans,
It's not just you we have lost confidence in. The majority of us have lost confidence in the entire political system. This country needs enemas on the National, State, and County levels.


And in local news, a school bond was narrowly defeated in my home county. It seems that the voters of this area just don't get it. Well, let me break it down for you this way. You have to spend money to make money. The middle schools in this county are dilapidated and ancient. If we, the people, pass a school bond to improve the conditions of said middle schools maybe it would be a step in the right direction to a better education system. Just a thought. I don't have any kids and I can see this clearly. Yes it would increase the grownups taxes, but maybe the kids will be smarter in the long run because of it.

And finally, Hillary stomped Obama in the West Virginia elections. Obama didn't even bother visiting the state, and quite honestly I don't blame him. There are a fair number of the population here that think segregation should still be in effect. Thankfully most of these morons don't even vote, so that's a good thing. I'm not 100% sold on either one of them honestly, but that is the way it is in politics. I think it's a real shame when talking about presidential elections the phrase that I hear more often than not is "well, I voted for so and so because they seemed to be the lesser of two evils." I can understand that, it's how I've voted every four years since I turned eighteen.
