Going Galt
If we all voted for the candidate with the least campaign commercials and the least ads ran in his name we might get candidates that vote to make the country better rather than candidates paid to work against us.

Basing your vote on the least promoted candidate means you get the lunatics and flakes who are so outside the thinking of sane and rational people.

I don't want politicians who would vote (for laws) to "make the country better" (in THEIR opinons).
I would vote for lawmakers who would vote to repeal hundreds if not thousands of laws which have clearly made the country worse.

I have an invitation to Chile...my skills are highly desired. All I really seek is the peace of liberty.
The whole thing borders on a scam. It's not a true scam. It's just what works. You want to run for office, so you ask an expert what works. They tell you the networks are whipping people into a frenzy about Democrats or Republicans. If you get behind one of the parties, you'll get the benefit of the party plus the diehard partisans who follow Fox News or The Nation magazine.
Let me know who wins.
You can count on one hand the politicians who remain faithful to the Constitution.
