Yes
In all my many years of voting I have not been abused and humiliated into choosing a particular candiate as I have this year...
If manipulation by the supporters of a candidate will get him votes, will the electrate expect to be further intimidated over policies of a liberal nature ???
First off, as a relative newbie to FR, welcome aboard!
We are being herded like sheeple through this process.
Voting has become a demeaning experience. We are criticized for who we support or not support. We are criticized for who we vote for. We are castigated for not falling in line and “accepting” lowered expectations. Because the process is all about winning, with no promises or concerns for what the people are really saying.
There is no accountability in government. We are constantly being asked to lower our expectations even further because some problems are “insurmountable”.
In other words, politicians are not problem solvers. They are problematic. Nothing will change without the expectations of the voting public being set much higher that what we are being asked to settle for.
Everything all fine and well that you said, but this is another day. Today we have a race between McCain and Romney. I hope everyone puts aside their ‘favorite’ and looks at the reality of getting stuck with John McCain. If the Hunter/Thompson campaigns taught us anything, it should be,
” DON’T LET THE PRESS PICK YOUR CANDIDATE!”
Which is why I am waiting to see who his VP will be before deciding whether or not to vote for R for pres.
I agree 1000%! Boycott the presidential race but vote Republican in the other races (assuming your local Republican is worth supporting).
