Well someone should put in the current news story about the government shutdown. Bona Fides 15:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a Wikinews article on it currently that's pretty good, so I've added that. Metros232 15:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

"politics" are not elections are not government
Because of the loose media use of the word, Americans (not excluding me!) get confused between "Elections" (which is what the media is usually talking about), Government, which is what the elected people can do under the constitution and statutes, and Politics, which is what the elected officials actually do, once elected. Voters don't do politics! We have a representative government. All voters do is vote and cross our fingers! :) Student7 (talk) 15:17, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
