Voting

The two-party system does not function. Neither candidate has the capacity to address the real problems this country faces. $9 trillion national debt. A looming energy crunch. Inflation and a dollar that is being rejected around the world.

McCain and Obama both stand for the same thing: incompetence. Neither has even a partial grasp of the root causes of these problems. Instead, the media focus on what Obama's wife is wearing, or where McCain ate dinner. None of this shit matters!

The only candidates of any actual intelligence are Ralph Nader, Bobb Barr, Dennis Kucinich, and, of course, Ron Paul. When most people hear what these guys have to say, they like it and tend to agree. Yet, they don't vote for them. Why?

I hear people all the time saying, "yeah I love Ron Paul's ideas, but he'll never get elected." Then they say, "I'm just going to vote for Obama so McCain doesn't get elected." Or, "I'm just going to vote for McCain some Obama doesn't get elected."

What kind of bullshit is this?! Just vote for the least worst candidate? This is pathetic. The system is broken. People end up voting for people they don't even want. And they don't vote for the people they do want.

Of course they're not going to get elected–you're not voting for them! Saying, for example, "Bob Barr won't win," is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since your vote barely counts at all anyway, you might as well vote for the person you want.
