Yes, they should abide by what people think they should abide by. That is why they are our representatives. The politics game may be corrupt right now, but that in no way means that we should lie down and take it as you appear to think we should.
I don't try to dictate how anyone should feel or think, I simply analyze situations which are presented. The reason politics are corrupted are because of emotions, or the absence of logic. I'm not saying that it can never be fixed, but I'd rather utilize and work with the situation while progressing, than strictly fighting the system of remaining at war infinitely.

As much as Ron Paul is just another idiot he at least answered the very same question from the very same man. Hmmm. . . Seems to me like Mitt was dodging.
We'll see who's actions provided the best outcome in a few months.

Politics is the manipulation of emotion on a sociological scale. To effectively manipulate emotion it requires a vast amount of logic.

Try to run an effective administration while attending to each individual within the jurisdiction of the government. Its an objective game which is corrupted by the subjective individual. No, I don't live under a rock Shell, thanks though for the demeaning tones.

Everything is contextual, I make statements using thought, and at times emotion.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
