Politics are Rediculous

What's the point of them anyway? I mean the people in the field are just a bunch of professional liars, the kind I don't respect. I prefer to stay uninvolved. I mean why would you want to get into a field or follow one where people just fling poo at each other, metaphorically (as of this point, it's not too far off I'm sure), plus it's not like politicians stand for anything anymore. The only thing they care about is the size of their wallets, they are going to support whatever supports their over-laden, imported pocketbooks. All congress is good for is a good laugh at this point, they can't get anything together and going in the way of useful legislation. They'd rather just sit there and get paid to do nothing except call each other names and argue, also very resemblant of the supreme court. All of this points to the fact that politics are nothing more then a bunch of people who we pay (for a reason unbeknown to me) to fling mud at each other. So in summation, a wise man once said, "If we stop voting, will they go away?"
P.S.- Now don't get me wrong, I do believe democracy can work, it just isn't at this point and we need something to shake and wake America up.
P.P.S.- Also, I do love the capitol building, it's very pretty.
P.P.P.S- I realize that this particular post is rather political, albeit anti-political, unfortunately the paradox is inseparable. So don't start shouting hypocrite or anything in those lines, or I will be forced to become cross.
