Reply #109: I think we care. It's just that our choices are limited.

I hate when people demand, "Where's the outrage?" If we had to demonstrate our outrage everytime our government does something outrageous, we wouldn't have much sanity left. Our elected officials know that we don't like what's going on. We've made no bones about it. It's just that when you look at the ballot, there's not a whole lot to choose from.

As much as I loved the outcome of the 2006 midterm elections, I think its safe to say that we didn't get a whole lot of bang for our votes. If we keep voting our conscience, however, Congress could evolve over time into something worthy of its prestige again.
