Hypocrisy is rampant in all things, politics even more so than most.

People usually get the government they ask for in a society where the government is based upon democratic principles and attempts to respond to the will of the people.  So, if politics is particularly hypocritical, it is because the citizens of a nation make it so.


OMG, I couldn't have said it any better.

Let me just add that complaints over the status quo is usually done by those that don't completely comprehend everything about a certain situation, but tell an American that he/she is ignorant about something and it is considered as an insult. Ignorance should not be considered an insult in a sociaty that trains us to specialize into some type of carrier and work (Gaps of information are bound to happen).

And another thing, a Government (big or small) CANNOT satisfy everyone. If one is really pissed about some injustice, get off the iphone/ipad. couch, chair, etc., and protest.

And when they do, individuals driving by the protests will yell out to them, coming home from, or going to, jobs they hate "Get a job loser!"  Same individuals yelling that also complain that Obama hasn't done enough to create jobs in the economy.  No one said the reasoning of people is consistent.
