If you think we the people are choosing our leader, think again


Posted: Feb 29, 2016

It is a huge joke to say that we the people are choosing our candidates for president. The media are making the candidates to suit their viewpoints. Most states do not vote till May like mine. By the time I get to vote, it will be the lesser of two evils again. If you ask me, the only fair thing is to put all the candidates on the ballots and let the people in all states vote at the same time. Only then will they not come out getting ahead by these ridiculous polls they concoct. I have tried writing both the DNC and RNC but to no avail. They don't seem to be so worried about we the people voting for candidates to run against each other. No, they insist upon picking them. We would need no super packs or half the things they have invented if we the people were permitted to vote and vote at the same time for the same group of people. There would be a lot less of this back and forth childishness too. Put out the facts on each candidate and each on the ballot and then let us all vote on the same day of the same month. I am sincerely worried that all the young who never investigate anything will vote simply because they want free stuff and there is no such thing as free stuff. I hope I am wrong but this frightens me along with getting Hillary for president. Not one of these people would have to remain living in this country and could go to another one to live the rest of their days if our country goes down the tubes, which it looks like it will. They could abandon a sinking ship, but average Joe and we the people could not. We'd end up living through the horrible regimens these candidates would give us if they got elected. Anyway, we the people are not getting to do much to help things at all. It is still elite people deciding they can do the job the best and ending up with a lifetime job in our federal government. Our founding fathers never envisioned this nor would they approve of any of it. Too much lying and cheating, not that they didn't do it before, but this is the first time that you don't know who to believe at all. Scary isn't it. ;

It's all just to keep the illusion of a republic, but - in reality we are being

"sold" our candidates by politicians and media by carefully picked words and images, as well as pandering to groups. They change their message depending on who the audience is, Hispanics, farmers, etc. No principles, just pandering.

They change the meaning of words, too. Like amnesty isn't amnesty. Slowing down the rate of growth of a government program is a "cut." Illegals become "undocumented." A jungle is a wetland. You get the point.

The public is to blame. Many don't care what laws are broken if it's a member of THEIR political party, only the opponent.

I hate to say it, but our candidates have been chosen for us since FDR. The "king makers" have been at it since the 20th Century. The only one who wasn't establishment was Ronald Reagan. The GOP establishment hated him and did everything they could to keep him from being nominated.

You see that now with Sanders and Trump. They are not establishment candidates.

Without Choosing Your Favorite Candidate, Who Is Going To Win? May 03, 2016
This is like a soap opera playing out.  Will Bernie win against Hillary as more negative publicity is coming out about her?   Will Trump win over Cruz since he annoys so many or will Trump lose because people dislike him more than Cruz. I have never followed political campaigns so closely as this one and part of the reason is it is really amusing, like watching a roller coaster of events. Any thoughts on winners and losers?    Will Bernie and Cruz get out of the r ...

In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, respondents were asked who “would be better when it comes to being easygoing and likeable,” and 58 percent selected President Obama, while just 23 percent chose Romney and 15 percent said the two were equally good. But when they were asked who would be better at improving the economy, Romney beat out Obama by a margin of 44 percent to 38 percent. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/romney-wsj-personal-life/2012/08/24/id/449657 ...

Okay, WHO Will Be The Next Big GOP Leader BothDec 22, 2012
Right now apparently, from the talk about such a thing, a third party is looking pretty good to a lot of conservatives. A party known for, and powerful through, its discipline and willingness to fall in line behind its leaders has become anything but. The inability to come together behind Boehner isn't due to his incompetence--it's structural.  Will Rogers' saying, "I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat." is now true for the Republicans. Mainstream John Boehner is ...
