Debate Coverage and Voting

As some of us know, the debate coverage has been manipulated by the corporate owned media to try to fool us into thinking that there are only two candidates running for the office of president.  This is not true.  In fact, there is a whole slew of candidates running for the presidency, though some are not going to be on the ballot in some states.  That's right.  A whole slew!  Not half a slew or a quarter of a slew but an entire WHOLE SLEW.  I would tell you how many, but I ran out of fingers and toes when I was trying to count them.

Yes folks.  There are more than two candidates running for president.  Of course, most of you have already voted so it's probably too late to do any research and change your vote.  Most of you probably voted for Obama or Romney, either of which will yield the same results.  There will be more tax breaks for the rich, more wars, more spying on American citizens, a more militant police force, and most likely the stripping of any rights and liberties we have left.  Hurray for you for not "wasting your vote."

Me?  I'm most likely going to vote for Dr. Jill Stein.  I know that some who vote third party like Gary Johnson, probably because you want marijuana legalized or income tax abolished so you don't have the government paying for things like roads and education, but I find some of his  positions on the issues unrealistic and harmful.  Good for you for not voting for Obama or Romney, though.  At least you were that smart.

Being a Texan, I don't like Dr. Jill Stein's positions on gun control.  I think every God fearing Christian should be able to own as many M-16s, AK-47s, grenade launchers, tanks, and any other battle equipment as they can afford.  We may as well throw in nuclear arms while we're at it.  After all, there might be a chance that President Obama will get elected and we'll still have a black man in the White House.  They called it the White House for a reason, you know.  The only black people that should be in the White House should be indentured servants.  If Obama does get re-elected we will HAVE to revolt and you can't do that with water pistols.  Still, I agree with Dr. Jill Stein on most of the other issues so I reckon I'll vote for her.

I like to wait until election day to vote.  Why?  Well, you never know what new dirt might come out on the candidates at the last moment.  For instance, we could find that President Obama really IS a Kenyan Commie Socialist or that Mitt Romney really has 72 wives.  You know how those Mormons are... especially the ones who wear the magic underwear.  We could find that Gary Johnson is a German Nazi spy or that Dr. Jill Stein is... God forbid... a LESBIAN!  As for the rest of them, we'll never know because they don't seem to get any coverage at all.  There's a possibility that they're aliens from the planet Nibiru.

If you don't vote at all, you may be the smartest yet.  At least you won't be responsible for the cataclysm that will probably be caused no matter who you vote for.  If you think we're screwed now, just wait another four years.

I've been a big supporter of the third party movement for a long time - especially on the local and state level.

There is this awful fear that somehow a vote for the Greens is going to help the WORST candidate get into office.

But at least for you and me - living in Texas - that's simply not true.

When it comes to statewide office (offices that everyone in the state votes on), the Green and the Democrats have won the same number of offices since 1994.

ZERO.

If the Greens ought to drop off the ballot for their lack of success, shouldn't the Democrats give it up, too?

That sounds logical. After all, voting for a Democrat in Texas is throwing away your vote. That's why I voted for all the Green Party candidates last election and Democrats where there wasn't a Green Party candidate. I love throwing away my vote.

It looks like my cell phone had a hiccup or two.
