It is sad that this sort of legislation is needed. What does this say about the character of our elected officials?
I think I think most Americans are looking for a candidate who shows they are a strong leader more than merely reactionary.
The majority of Americans seem willing to support candidates who fall mildly to the left or right but not those who move wildly to the extremes. While who choose extremism may get the media coverage, those who exhibit an innate sense of core competency seem to be more electable. Why does that take so long to sink in?
