The length of the primary election season within the United States of America gives me the impression that the candidates work harder to win the election than they work within the Oval Office of the White House. Yes, they have a whole lot of time in which to tour the Country and meet with as many people as they can. So too, they get a very good idea of what they have to do for the people who support their election campaign. In that regard, the primary election season should be twice as long as it is.

You see, if the majority of "We People" have more time to get our message of what we want into the heads of each and every candidate, well, maybe whoever is elected will actually do some of what "We People" want them to do.

Well, in so doing, each and every one of them wants to give the voter the impression that they are somehow different from the other people who seek the same job for, "We People of the United States of America." That being: President of the United States of America.

After months of hard work one of those candidates will be the next President of the United States of America. They get a whole lot of money to do so, and for that money they have to do a whole lot for the people who give them the most money or work for their election. You see, some people are rewarded with Federal or State jobs for their service to the person who they believe will win the election. Then again, Party support also means that the candidate will have to conform the to Party platform and also the wishes of the majority of the other members of that particular Political Party.

Yes, and for those very reasons it is easy to see why the winner doesn't keep all of those sworn campaign promises to the majority of, "We People of the United States of America." None of us paid millions of dollars in order to influence the winner to keep us healthy and alive, or to make us even richer than we were the day before. The best that any of us can do is work for the candidate's election and then hope that one of those high paying Federal or State jobs comes our way.

This election year a record amount of money was, and still is being, given to those remaining people who seek the position of "The number one symbol of Democracy." Then again, the rich are getting richer. The greedy are more greedy. The heartless are more heartless, and the self-serving are more self-serving.

As a matter of fact, none of the candidates said much about the most serious issues that now face the majority within our Country, and also the people of the rest of the World. Yes, we certainly do need more time in which to tell each and every candidate exactly how much good that they should do for us.

Instead, each and every campaign within recent memory became nothing more than a contest to see and select who is the best looking or the most witty person. Soon it will become, if it hasn't already started, the person who can sling the most mud at the other candidates. Well, that isn't a solution to the true problems that need fixing for us and also the rest of the World's people.

You better believe that the person who does win the election will support the richest people on Earth. That's why things truly are as bad as they are for the majority. Who will vote for in 2008?
