So I've been watching videos with three men, all of whom are running for president; Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, & Ralph Nadar.
these are the best choices for the president of the United States of America! this is what the race should be based upon! But, alas the major media outlets in this country focus on the three worst choices; McCain, Clinton, & Obama. When these media groups bring any of the who actually try to do good in this world and bring about REAL change, they are beaten with the, "There is no way in hell you are going to win!", stick and an obvious attempt is made to try and trick these men into supporting one of the latter mentioned candidates. seriously, do they really think that they are going to get that golden ticket, printed out of trickery?? do they really think that they are going to get Mr. Paul to say that he endorses McCain, because he himself has no chance in this race or that Mr. Nadar or Mr. Gravel are going to endorse one of the Democratic candidates for the very same reason!!
Here's the problem, the real hard and cold problem, a problem that even I every so often desire;
The bulk of Americans have given in, they have a family and a full time job. A wife or a husband, one or two children. They have a mortgage, car payments, insurance, property taxes, they have to worry about making sure that their children are on the bus to school and that they are at their life sucking 9 to 5, or worse job. The majority of Americans have wandered though the wilderness only to find themselves caught in the snares of our so called, "American Dream".
The average American doesn't have time to do the research needed to discover that men such as Ralph Nadar, or Ron Paul, or Mike Gravel are in fact still in the race for president, or to take the time needed to discover who these men are and why they should in fact give these men their endorsement, give them their votes. The average citizen in this country cannot afford the time and effort to be the active participant when it comes to government even though it is one of the expectations as a citizen of this country.
Besides, even if they did, would our government even listen?
Most people, don't think they would.
So our fellow citizens are forced to pay the small amount of attention that they can afford to the news or the paper, who present the same old bias story.
Goddamned this world!
When are outlets such as the real new going to have a larger voice in the world of media?
When can the American people expect to be treated as actual citizens who do have a voice and deserve the whole story?
When can we see a race for president where men like Ron Paul, Ralph Nadar and Mike Gravel are the focus, and stand at the fore?
When can I expect the media and the public to have an opinion and the awareness of other races, The presidential race isn't the only thing that you vote for you know!
