Politician to Trust… I’m not holding my breath

Our political system is broken. How do we fix it? I dont know. All I know is that I am sick and tired of the same old song and dance over and over again. Polititians that are completely out of touch with the average American. Lie, cheat and buy your way to the top is standard. Special interest groups that are located on the far left or right seem to take precedence over anything remotely moderate. The President is a hero to one half of the population and a jackass to the other. Conservatives and liberals trading punches like two kids fighting over who gets to be first in the lunch line. Neither of those two groups, in my opinion, represent the average joe. You know, the average joe who is the MAJORITY in this country!
Is there even a place for avg joe? Not that i am aware of. Where do we go to be heard? Certainly not the media. They are only interested in the extremes. They go with what sells and apparently its not my ideas! I dont know how many people actually watch the news for political purposes but my guess is that it is much less than the networks think. I can hardly stand to watch during election times much less during the dismal times in between. I watch to try to be informed of the canidates views. That, for the most part, has been an exercise in futility. For one, it is almost impossible to wade through the networks own biases. Two, the politicians, at least the ones we’ve been presented with over the last 50 years, are completely out of touch with what we want. Hence it is almost impossible to know where they stand. Sure, you can look at voting records and such but most flip flop back and forth so much it makes my head spin! I guess I’m looking for someone I can trust. Does that politician even exist anymore?
