Because the ones forwarding candidates judge them by how many people the Democrats tell them they offend, not by how many people actually support the candidate's positions.

I haven't seen a good candidate from either party in quite some time, but someone always wins.

Why can't either party find decent candidates? The answer is quite simple. The people who become president are selected long before they run and they work for the top 1%, not the people. Things will never change if we just keep voting these politicians into office and keep playing a game that is not rigged in our favor.

Thanks for the whacko-conspiracy-theory viewpoint.

Republicans will never field a candidate that left wing idiots will like, why should they?

Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Biden or an unaccomplished senator like Obama, on the democrat side. Why do we get these people running for president?

As someone dissatisfied with the performance of our elected representatives, my reply that neither party has done so is quite sensible.
