American Politics

Over the past few months I have been following the race between those tho wish to be the next president. Its been amusing to see the media spin the poll results, downplaying the effectiveness of Ron Paul. Yes, I am in favor of Mr. Paul, and despite the few things I disagree with him on, overall he seems like the only sane choice.

He is honest, smart and hardworking. Some have pointed out he is "too old". That is a cop-out.

But it seems that the country wants some bloated, devious miscreant such as Newt Gingrich, a man who cheated on his first two wives all the while supporting the investigation in the Clinton sex scandal, and he took a bribe from Sally Mae worth $2.3 million. He had to pay a fine for ethics violation- $300,000. How can we trust a person like that? 

Then of course we have Herman Cain who has dug a hole for himself with numerous sex scandals and fumbling over a simple question about Iran. He is done.

Next is Mitt Romney, a man who has the charisma of cardboard. He might have a chance if Newt sinks. But he has zero chance against Obama.

There are some who will say the system is rigged so your vote does not matter. Its sad that so many would choose to keep voting for incompetent a-holes instead of taking a chance on an underdog.
