another primary vote for ron paul here. i will sit out the general election if paul isn't on the ticket. i'm not going to hold my nose and vote again. there isn't enough difference in obama, romney, santorum and gingrich to worry about. all of them will continue this slow moving train wreck.

I can appreciate why some think there's no point in even voting. The government has gotten so big it's hard to even keep track of all the crap that's going on. But I think this apathy is the very thing that Ben Franklin was talking about when he said we had a Republic "if we could keep it." The only way our form of government works is if the average citizen accepts and acts on the responsibility to hold our representatives accountable. The more ruckus we make about them doing their job and shrinking the government, the sooner we're going to get our country and our freedoms back. It's taken 100 years to come to the point that we elected a would-be dictator. We're not going to fix it in one election. But every person that takes some kind of action is one more step in the right direction. Just like compound interest, it adds up. Ask the liberals... they proved it by pushing us to this point.

There IS no point if there are no viable candidates. This election, primary and presidential, appears to be shaping up to a choice of the best piece of solid matter floating in a cesspool.

Ben Franklin also said "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

We lost the "if we could keep it" battle a long time ago.

Voting between people that have basically been chosen for us is no real choice at all.

so, who is doing the choosing?

I don't buy the MSM argument, at least not completely. So, is the the parties that are picking for us, or the corporate backers since they have the money needed to run for national office?

Who are the puppet masters that strip us of our rights to pick?

Surely it's not because a sane person wouldn't want the job, right? right?
