Doesn't it make you nuts?

This country is overwhelmingly anti-war, yet Paul, Gravel and Kucinich were totally marginalized and they were the ONLY candidates (maybe Edwards a little bit) that were clear on getting out troops out of Iraq.

Think about that for a minute: the country is OVERWHELMINGLY anti-war and yet, the two biggest warmongers in the party, Hillary and McCain are the leaders.

Ron Paul signs are EVERYWHERE. I mean, EVERYWHERE. My friend in Ohio told me that Macedonia is plastered with Ron Paul lawn signs. She said she couldn’t drive down a block without seeing one if not several. Paul packs them in wherever he goes, yet, do you see him on any of the morning talk shows? Not recently. Not this close to “super Tuesday.” You’ve seen Huckabee, who has weak support. But not Paul. Paul’s raised the most money of any of the other GOP contenders, but he’s not even mentioned in most articles or even get his picture included on website splash pages. You’ll see the heads of the other three stooges, but not Paul. Yeah, he doesn’t seem to garner a lot of votes in an actual election. So, I guess we’re supposed to believe that all those people who bother to stick a sign on their lawn or put a button on their cap just aren’t making it to the polls. Really? And McCain? Seriously? Are people really that dumb? That man is as much of a menace as Bush. And Romney, frankly, is just an empty suit.

Meanwhile, on the dem side, they’ve christened Obama a member of the Kennedy clan (and that’s a good thing?) and Hillary, despite the fact she has the highest negatives of any candidate I’ve ever seen, still manages to get votes. Really? And Kucinich gets portrayed as too liberal because he dares to suggest that the war was based on lies and the troops should come home? That’s freakin' liberal?

Do you see a pattern here? Who’s running the elections? It’s not we the people. The MSM chooses their patsies and the machines — and not just the voting machines but the party machines as well -- do the rest. Frankly, I’m beginning to feel like the elections are too farcical to participate in. They should just do away with the façade and cancel all elections and put in whomever they want to put in and be done with it. Save us the billions of dollars and the supreme waste of time.

I swear, if it comes down to Hillary v McCain, I will, and I mean WILL, write in goddamn “Daffy Duck.”
