The process of choosing a president in this country is a disaster. A biased media shapes the public’s knowledge about the candidates. Liberal candidates are given a free pass on everything they have done, do, and plan to do. Normal candidates are given a highly intrusive exam that goes back to their early school days. An ignorant public gets interested in the election in late September of an election year. An improperly informed public goes to the polls the first Tuesday of November and votes with little intelligence and a lot of emotion.
The public has high hopes for a few months after the election. A few months later it is finally revealed that the president is human and has faults and won’t be saving the country.
The country is then stuck with a dud who does as much damage as he can until the next election, when the process starts over again.
nail on head.
I’m sick of the bias media the ignorant voters who seem to think that voting doesn’t have consequences.
The students who treat voting as American idol in the last election and the ignorant fools who have no clue even while they the drive to vote and then make a last second decision.
You forgot one salient point: The Democrat Party steals elections by letting felons and illegals and phantom registrants vote. Philly consistently records more votes than eligible voters and no one is every arrested for this felony. Third world countries should come to our Democrat-infested cities to monitor our crooked elections.
As much as I love and admire the Constitution, I also have to agree with your assessment of the POTUS selection process. It IS a disappointing mess of marketing spin, PR, and rock stardom.
We need to start teaching Civics in this country again so that EVERYONE understands that electing a president is NOT the same as selecting the next American Idol; it is about hiring someone who will be our leader, set the direction of the country, be the face of America to the world and, ultimately, listen to the will of the MAJORITY of Americans.
We used to be the country where the Majority rules. But, the leftists have converted it into a country where the squeaky wheel gets the grease!! And who are the squeaky wheels??? Those who don’t pay taxes, who don’t work, and who line up for every government freebie that comes along.
In the words of Quang Nuyen, a Vietnamese refugee, “Freedom doesn’t mean . . free stuff!”
