If Democrats Chose Gore and Republicans Chose Hagel - from HuffPo
Some interesting food for thought. Also a good rambling about the unhappy state of political affairs that marginalizes and/or ignores most of the very small number of good people out there. Some good comments about the idiocy (why do I keep watching them ?!?) of the debates

We now have presidential debates that are the idiot's delight where some of the most qualified candidates are barely invited to speak, where candidates are given ninety seconds to discuss World War III, where the candidates and voters are insulted with idiot questions such as:

Will you guarantee that Iran will never have nuclear weapons (a guarantee that can be enforced only by the willingness of the candidate to hypothetically guarantee a thermonuclear attack against Iran, because that is the only way to 100% guarantee the undesirable result.)?


ALso an interesting suggestion to Biden

Digression, memo to Joe Biden: if you really want to run for President and not Secretary of State, the next time you are not allowed to speak in a presidential debate because the powers do not believe you are an important enough candidate, and the others are speaking triteness in thirty seconds, walk off the stage in protest and give a press conference outside that speaks truth and substance and depth about what really needs to be said, and is not being said, in what passes for our national debates.


Give it a click, it's worth it http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brent-budowsky/if-democrats-chose-gore-a_b_73216.html#postComment

1. This may sound as cynical as heck, but when observing
a cynic is forced to conclude--The Establishment has peedetermined
there are only two persons that are to be seriously considered for
the Presidency. Since there is one who started very early and has
accumulated followers; we cannot really leave him out. We the Establishment will permit him to be in the top tier but will use our influence on the Media to keep him as marginalized as possible.

Thus there are only two real possibilities. They are given the
most Television Time. (after all this is where Ameria gets their
news).

Common Sense tells you that it has been intended by the Establishment
and Media that the Biden's, Dodd's -the lower tier never be seriously
considered.

After all only those who sell their sould for 100,000,000 Dollars are
worthy of running. Only those who can get Wall Street commendations
Corporate approval in the form of funds can compete.

Sometimes it can be sorta hard to get excited. The Decisions
are made for us. We Sheople should just fall in line. It is
difficult because in our hearts we know this formula produces
no real change.
