Re: USA numba 1 First and fore-most,I do like elections but would like them even more if they were fair to begin with, but campaign finance (yet another working concept based on pure greed) as well as the shady setup of bypassing the true American perspective (popular vote) of who the next Pres. should be, but instead we use the electoral collage, which is not representative of the populous. It's a sham. Greed, most certainly, seems to be the philosophy of the two major political parties. That, in my opinion is NOT a reflection of a democracy, but more closely represents a weak form of socialism. Campaign finance is keeping the good candidates out of the running, simply because they do not have the monitary assets to compete with this old-style "democracy".
Secondly, there was NO link that Iraq or even Saddam himself had ties to Al-Quida (which after the fact was confirmed by the current administration). Al-Quida only appeared in Iraq after we had messed it up so badly, taking advantage of that country's lack of government to hit another strike to the US by killing our soldiers (many of whom must buy their own body armor because our government can't find the resources necessary for THEM. Maybe if we cut the over-all war budget supplying our forces may happen).
Lastly, both sides may indeed cast their votes. But will it really matter? Not only did the Florida election debacle prove that no matter which method we chose to cast our vote, it's not really safe and can easily be changed or even disappear altogether. Now Florida wants to begin using electronic voting machines which are inherently flawed. The point is; the vote can be easily swayed or manipulated by a person who necessitates the capital to do so and has the will to do so. Just food for thought. |
