The process which is our scholastic indoctrination to the political process, gives only the cosmetics of the process. The actual process is a compound of extortion and blackmail that twists arms and minds to get the votes that are needed. Throw money on top of that cluster-fuck and you get not a democracy of the people's will but a kabuki theater performance. They throw out the God, flag, and country homilies of virtuous motivations while they opportunistically go at getting the political leverage of blackmail and extortion on the representative or their community.
We'd be doing better hiring private-eyes or reporters from the scandal mags to get the dirt that will 'persuade' the representatives of seeing things our way, rather than think that some ends of virtue are being aspired to or addressed.
