Reply #5: to be honest [View All]

I am utterly turned off on this election..

From the early signs in the media, I saw they would play the card of Clinton/ Obama shutting out everyone else. The media made such a big deal, nothing else mattered. They treated everyone else with such disrespect it is incredible. Midway, they added Edwards, just because the numbers are there. I thought then, the media (industrial complex) is going to decide the outcome. They don't care what party, as long as they have a straight line of communication with the candidate.

My daughter and her fiancee turned on a friend of theirs to volunteer for Kucinich. As of Las Vegas, their camp's computers were hacked and they could not even log on to see the results. He was so discouraged to see all the corruption, he came home thereafter, and said he will not vote.
Kucinich is being sabotaged by his own party. What is this?

I see the ugly debates by the candidates, here at DU - it is all so far removed from the "other dimension" it makes me puke.

None of the candidates represent that "other dimension", it just feels like politics as usual, Dem or Repub. Perhaps I just had an expectation, which is still too early to manifest. Unless someone exiting comes along it is a choice of the better than nothing. :(

It is high time, that this government is not run by 2 parties, so we can create a balance.

Can we have the Dalai Lama as prez?
