You are terribly naive if you think the voters control the election process, and not the power-brokers behind the scenes. You can watch any number of movies from the 1940s and 1950s to see that even the Hollywood types back then knew that the rich and powerful handlers get people elected to major office in the USA, not the voters.
We have some say, such as this year the economy is going to doom incumbents, including the incumbent president. So Romney is a lock to be president. But during the nominating process, not so, we voters had very little control. It is the behind-the-scenes power-brokers who tend to control major elections. They give us the illusion we are in control. We are not.
Watch a number of movies? Is that what you and your kind need to base your arguments on?
You are one sordid SOB if you think that you cannot vote for the candidates who decide to run. What’d you have? 6? 7? running? And you could have got off your ass and gone out to canvas for one of those 6 or 7. You could have gone out and raised money for your candidate.
