I don't know maybe, but you think you do, and don't realize what is in public print, which you have keenly researched and digested, believing it to be the gospel truth of politics, really has very little to do with national decision making.
The Big Dogs, none of us, never draw attention to themselves and stay out of the limelight. You won't read their policy position papers.
A person such as a Jesse Jackson or Dobson may motivate low level party wanks or voters, but they do not drive the machine. In this you have been deceived. We little people play no roles and the Big Players are mostly anonymous. What the media believes contributes is naive as well.
The real players have no concern for party platforms, judicial nominations, or foreign policy except as it affects business policies. Most don't believe that, and the process is more like a spiderweb, than a railway.
Just get involved at a local level, watch news reports and then become involved behind the scenes. There's really no relation to what you can research through public media to what actually is going on.
