Our seventh grade society deserves what it votes for. The whole western world is living in a house of cards that has been built on debt. Even if Romney would have won and businesses started to free up and spend cash on expansion it would have just postponed the inevitable for a while. All it will take is the right disaster, terrorist attack, or financial meltdown to start the dominoes falling and bring it all down. It's all a big game that is decided in the backrooms by both parties. They have decided to take turns "giving" the other party control of the presidency, while making people believe they actually have a choice. How else do you explain candidates like Dukakis, Mcgovern, Dole, Romney, and McCain. Really? Are those the best either party can pick in any given year out of the millions of people in this country? The good ones are kicked to the curb very early in the campaign, leaving us the choice of the lesser of two evils. They have effectively frozen out any third party candidate that is unable to self finance his campaign, so the ones that can they paint as nutballs. Do you actually believe a Ron Paul or Buddy Roemer has a chance in hell of being elected? For many years I was very politically active, and finally just quit. I have come to the conclusion we have passed the point of no return. Two BILLION dollars was spent on the presidential campaigns alone. Yes, they will do whatever it takes to pay back those who put up all of that money. People don't put up that kind of cash without expecting a return on their investment. Especially those who can afford a $45,000/plate campaign dinner. This is nothing new, but has escalated exponentially over my lifetime (55 years). The last time a president tried to go back on those who financed his campaign, they killed him and his brother. Take care of your business boys and savor each day. We have no idea when it will come down, but I believe we have 7-8 years at the most. You may call me a crackpot, or just a cynic, but you can definitely call me done.
