Sure, we all know there are crooks in politics, we don't need rastafarians to tell us that, but why the need to state the obvious? Human life is a fucking gory mess, no use in turning up your nose and feign disgust.
For some real world experience, try serving some time in your local School Board or some other organization of dissimilar individuals (like a touring, working band). If you can be as holy and compassionate and pure as you want our leaders to be, and have no enemies, and never have to compromise, it means you probably accomplished nothing. Quitters get to remain pure for life.

Haha, you honestly believe that don't you? Whatever floats your boat my brother, but you don't know me like that, and the internet can't tell you just exactly what I do and don't do outside of posting here, so please, back up with your silly assumptions, you are embarrassing yourself
Oh, do you volunteer with the Obama campaign? Do you make phone-calls and go out there and register people to vote? Who is fooling who about being naive then?
Broham, I am a school teacher, suggesting I don't about school board meetings or local politics is just about as absurd as believing the president actually cares about you
Who said anything about quitting just because I am a political nihilist? Just because I don't tangibly support political parties, doesn't mean I am not involved in aspects of the political process, however, again, I don't believe in this bogus imaginary democracy in the first place, so I hardly would waste my time encouraging people to support politicians. Rather, I daily engage in all members of my community, from the water-cooler to the corner store, to become aware, and to become involved at a grass-roots level. Campaigning for Obama is a lot different than working with your local foodbank, homeless shelter, non-profit gang program, or local community outreach. Like I said, who is fooling who about naive when folks like you may be wasting so much of their effort on silly and divisive things like political campaigns. I am far too critical of ANY sitting president to embarrass myself by joining in their little game of song and dance. fuck that, vote for yourself, vote for your community, advocate, organize, but voting is for pussies. By the way, you realize that essentially you just told me the old school Reagan racist right wing philosophy of "love it or leave it" and "if you don't like it leave" politics! So if I don't support one party or another I am some how not American enough for ya? What a joke
