Other than entertainers, politicians are the most vain individuals in today's society. The acknowledgement that comes with being an elected official feeds a politician's need. A politician will do anything to stay in office, including breaking promises, ignoring values and selling a vote. The vanity is at its highest with the president. He has the power to take the country to war based on his own desires.

OBSERVATIONS
Business groups own both parties because it takes money to win.
The Republican Party has been lost to the religious right. The
Democratic Party has been lost to a conglomeration of extreme minority
groups. These party shifts leave the majority of the nation without a
political party to call home. An independent, centrist, moderate, third
party is the answer. It would require a lot of time, effort and money
(of course) to accomplish a third party win at any government level.
But the time is right.

TRUTHS
The mainstream TV and print news outlets lean to the left and vote Democratic.
Republicans and Democrats do not get the same media treatment for the same action.
Politicians cannot police themselves.
