Only Because We Let Them

Ed at Hot Air is concerned that our Senate is going to become a House of Lords where the seats are inherited by family members.  Originally, Senators were selected by the individual state legislatures, but that was changed to a popular vote of the citizens of the state.  Since we, the people, elect the Senators, and Representatives, and President, we are ultimately responsible for who ends up in office.  Power is not taken, it is granted.  And we are granting power to dynasties such as the Kennedys and Bushes.  The problem is that the electorate is too ignorant and lazy to do anything about it.  We keep electing the same people with the same names so we only have ourselves to blame for the mess that we’ve created.
