Election 2008: How the presidential race is silly.

Just thinking about how the canidates line up makes me laugh!
Who cares how they compare to each other! How about how they compare to the middle class family man? Why does our president need to be rich? Why does our president need to be compared to others? The truth is if there was a real leader amoung them, -that person would shine. Not only would that person shine but, that canidate would be involved in helping the people of this country, -not seeking the hall of presidential fame. The canidate would be helping people directly, -not talking about it.

In a mug shot line up: its pretty ugly. In brevity: the popular vote is on the endagered species list. In a nut shell: Huckabee would not call on the glory of God, Clinton would not have wild Bill running with her, Obama would not need to be have endorsements of high powered actors and vice presidents daughters that stand for homosexuality, and finally McCain what a follower trying to be a leader!

If it is diverse appeal Obama has every angle covered. If its money Clinton has great credit.
Clinton should take that five million and feed the people starving from famine or homeless vetrans. Huckabee should tell us why our dollar bill, says in God we trust because the separation of church and state was suppose to be offical. Who Am I forgeting the mobster Gulliani or the two faced guy from Massachusetts; O yeah they quit must be for good reasons.
Maybe McCain is the one! He can even make it through a prisoner of war camp, -he can defititly follow directions of large corporate monopolies. The race would not be so close if they were real and true. When a race is about spoon feeding the mass audience it becomes a boring game show.

Money and media is the key? Tell me this is a bad dream! We are electing a leader!
The presidential race isn't a game show. The public was paying for this game show for years. Private funding of a campaign is a dangerous concept. If the media weighs as heavily as people, say who ever has the most money will win. This election cycle is out of control.

Imagine a person who could help our country directly without any title and money.
This race is an excellent example of super silly. The canidates are already in an office where they have influence and I have not heard one way anyone of them have helped to shape policy for the people. Why would we elect a person who is not effective in the current office. Can anyone tell me one good thing anyone of them has done other than follow along with the majority. Its understandable to cry for change but, it is another thing to make changes in the here and now. Every election year promises are made and nothing changes for the better. Look at the here and now, -a never ending war and budget deficit...

When are people going to wake up and remember, -the people enable the government.
Now it seems the government enables the people. The government is for the people.
The people are not for the government. If change is what we need lets start with the election process.

Modest Proposal by Alexander Pope: Is about turning homeless children into boots and gloves.
Maybe we could vote Mickey Mouse and see who they appoint this election year. Please dont mistake a satire humor for hate.
