Super Tuesday is almost upon us, and I am feeling more depressed than ever at the state of our political landscape. How many elections have we gone through hearing the same rhetoric only to leave us disappointed malcontents? Buzz words are the name of the game this year… yeah I know Washington is broken, yeah I know we need change…. but aren’t these the same people that have been in Washington supposedly trying to make changes? If we really wanted to fix Washington and have change, we should drum up a few random folks who have never held political office long enough to be comprimised, stick their asses in Washington, and be rid of these baffoons with their slick hair, fake smiles and gestures, and verbal diarrhea. That would be change!
Universal healthcare, as it has been for the last 3 presidential campaigns, is a hot button topic. Everyone’s got a plan or an idea… like usual. Maybe if these presidential hopefuls took their millions in campaign money and used it to serve the people instead of swooning the people we could have had it already. Let’s explore this further, shall we?
Of candidates who have dropped out of the race so far, the money they raised was approximately $200 million! Leading that category were Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards at approximately $61 and $44 million respectively. Do you think we could have given some healthcare to a few Americans with that money? How bout the $115 million Hillary has raised? How bout the $80 million Barack raised? How bout the 86 Romney raised? Or how bout the 38 McCain has raised?
How sick (no pun intended) of a country are we to let this injustice happen while actually putting a bumper sticker on our cars, or a sign in our lawns to support this corruption? Oh surely we want change…BUT AT WHAT PRICE ARE WE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT?

Definitely money that could be better spent elsewhere. This election is starting to turn weird. I didn’t think the Republicans would be able to offer me anyone I even remotely liked, but then McCain got his campaign going. I do like that guy. Still, I just feel badly burned by that party-not sure they are ever going to get me back. I’m still kicking myself for voting for Bush in 2000 when I was like 12.
At this point I’m backing Obama, and anyone BUT Romney. But if it comes down to a race beteeen Hil-dog and McCain, I honestly don’t know what I’ll do…
