Politics gone too far?

Ok so this election year, many of the candidates have taken a different approach to target a younger voting audience. Appearing on Youtube and creating Myspace and Facebook pages is the "next" step for the future presidential hopeful. However, is there a point where trying to reach a younger, and subsequently more idiotic audience becomes ridiculous? Like what if the canidates made video games? (That would be awesome and will vote for the first one who does!) I mean, if you have to go on MTV and beg kids to vote, why even bother, they must be dumb as hell to not think about politics otherwise; too close minded and selfish my generation is. Words of Yoda apparently...
Anyway I think that stooping down for the ignorant masses is such a waste of time. And don't even get me started on the insane amounts of money a single presidential campaign costs, millions and millions of dollars... Couldn't that money be used to fund underprivileged schools or help people rebuild their lives or fix up the mall in Washington DC! I've seen pics of it, and not only is it in a horribly degraded state, it doesn't even have a JC Pennies! What kind of mall is that?! Sorry no more tangents. The worst part is only one candidate gets elected anyway; either Obama or McCain will have spent millions for nothing. Millions of dollars, more than what 99% of people will ever make in a lifetime, or several lifetimes for that matter, all for nothing. You know when your a kid and they say if you really wanted to, you could become president if you follow your dreams or somthing stupid like that. (Think back before life punched you in the face.) They should change that little spiel to something like this: "If you follow your dreams and you're RICH and damn lucky and your parents don't beat you, you can do whatever you want and maybe become president one day!" What a damn hypocrisy we live in. I guess in a way its good though, keeps all us poor bastards out of office. I honestly have no idea how I got into writing this post. Haha oh well.
