Those that run for election are often not the best of the best. The best...whoever that may be...often don't run. Not ready to see themselves pilloried by the press...to see misinformation spread by political opponents...or media, to deal with the constant pressure by political, industrial and special interest groups.....when it comes down to...is it worth it ?

I think ....no.

Many that do run have egos, agendas and special interests they want to promote..... to advance.

Does this help the majority of citizens. I don't think so.

Its Dr John Fleming, Md. This bozo is a medical doctor. Would you want someone who makes snap, ill-informed decisions attending to YOUR bodily health! Of course, here in Georgia we have Phil Gingrey, MD, who "represents" one of our higher income areas.

The Onion and Fox News have the same type of Faux news.

Politicians of both parties and conservatives and liberals alike have been burned by the Onion through the years. Articles from the Onion have even been quoted in congressional investigations. This guy isn't the first and won't likely be the last.

You'd think there would be a memo.
