As flawed politicians hone their skills at manipulating the system and at ignoring the will of the people, the nation suffers -- as do all the people whose will is ignored.

The price of gasoline is a great example. For more than a decade, the self-proclaimed wisdom of the Democrat leadership has consistently ignored the will of the people to expand the supply of domestic oil. Consequently, the U.S. reliance on foreign energy has increased -- as has the price of gasoline.

From a broader perspective, the self-proclaimed wisdom of Democrat leadership has manipulated a regulatory hangman's noose around many industries that have found it far more profitable to move their operations to other countries -- transforming the job base and manufacturing output of the entire nation.

The undemocratic Democrat leadership accepts no responsibility for this dilemma. Instead, they condemn the companies that move away. Rather than reduce or eliminate the bureaucratic, regulatory obstacle course that discourages entrepreneurial expansion, they devise more tax obstacles to free-enterprise and individual initiative.

Under a heavy dose of this undemocratic leadership -- regardless of which party may be in office -- this nation has moved steadily toward the social democracies of Europe, where the will of the people is routinely ignored in favor of the self-proclaimed wisdom of the ruling party.

There's little hope to reverse this trend, by either candidate for the presidency. There is hope, however, as long as the people continue to elect their Congressmen. The problem is finding candidates who do not suffer from the same character flaws as those demonstrated by the current leadership. Find them we must; elect them we must. The inevitable alternative is continuation of the downward spiral into a socialist system administered by the self-proclaimed, self-appointed undemocratic elite leadership.
