Yes, something's terribly wrong. And when 98% of american politicians who want to be re-elected are re-elected, then there's something terribly wrong. If we re-elected only 30%, then the people would be in charge more so. In my opinion we should vote the politicians out when they displease us regardless of who the challenger is. You have a republican senator or congressman who refuses to do stop illegal immigration, you vote them out regardless of whether you end up voting for a dem. Otherwise the citizens of this country will not rule this country. It's the New World Order, they're fixing the candidates, the races and the media stories behind the scenes in order to bypass the democracy completely.
I agree, with the intent (at some unspecifiable point down the road) of having so much power vested in "supranational" organizations and NGOs, that the PTB can ignore national governments, constitutions, national laws, and best of all, those pesky voters. For now, laws, constitutions, and the citizenries must be given lip service, but the day is coming when even that will be withheld.
