how much do you think the election process from start to finish costs? I am not talking about the individuals' campaigns but the actually costs to the tax payers.

Sometimes "majority" simply means that all the fools are on the same side

From start to finish, you mean from the moment they are recruited by handlers and special interests to run, until the moment they extract the last penny from your wallet?

The real cost of an election is the illusion of choice it gives.

Forgive me for the off-topic jest, but at first glance I thought your title said "cost of an erection". Haha, at least it got me to look twice.
