We, of course, were supposed to have a real choice.
Can we, today, say we are offered any real choice? Are not both candidates selected by super-pacs, and media elites, who wield the real power behind the scenes.
The GOP, with its big money supporters has always tried to offer us the least conservative candidate they thought they could get away with. This year, because Obama is so far left, they have offered a candidate only slightly less socialist; knowing that our fear will force us to toe the line and vote for the lesser evil. By doing so, the GOP has made my vote meaningless and hence my participation in the process moot.
Is the only real difference between America today and former Soviet Union, the softness of the whip? If so, I am getting tired of voting for the master with the softer whip.
There may be a few more differences ... but after 4 more years of Obama, I doubt there will be. We will be driving our government-made cars to the bread line, if we are fortunate enough to afford the gas.
As disgusting as the prospect is, if Romney is the only other choice to Obama, then I would have to vote for him. Not a great situation. We are truly in trouble as a nation either way.
