yeah. you are correct. at least politicians, as slimy and useless as they are, are accountable to the electorate. these dudes just have to feed the hateful, fear-mongering religious right in order to stay in business. it's an easy task, and they can shape public opinion while they're at it. they're in the sweet spot.
