It most certainly can defeat the purpose. This has been demonstrated
time and time again, as Washington critters prove to be one and the same,
regardles of their party affiliation or their promises.

I assume that you don't vote. If they are all the same, as you say, what
would be the point of voting?

You should not make that assumption. I was responding to a very specific
statement. I do vote and I do so with no idealistic expectations of things
being different - just different.

The idea of a noble idealist running for political office who will genuinely
change the world is nearly absurd. If that person ever existed, he/she
would surely be either overwhelmed or corrupted by the system. The net is
that regardless of the left or right lean of the person, the tactics and
process would be the same.
