some choice quotes:

As you may know, in our system the voters do not choose the government; the government chooses the voters.


The party that controls the state legislature engages in what is known as "partisan gerrymandering" -- the drawing of district lines to maximize the chances that members of the controlling party will be elected to Congress.


Visiting the little town I pretend to represent is just a chore I have to put up with every two years, before getting back to my real job: representing the industries that pay for my campaigns.


You see, the real two-party system we have in this country involves the voter party and the donor party, and take it from me, your alleged representative in Washington, the donor party is way more important.
