-Election 2012
None Of The Above For President
2012-04-13
What has happened to the 2012 campaign?

This should be the most important election of our lifetime. But itÂ’s clear that something is seriously wrong. How can we be having such an underwhelming, uninspiring and irrelevant election campaign at such a critical juncture?

The very fact that 2012 is being carried out as if it were no different from any other election, at an extraordinary moment — when profound international challenges loom, and serious national crises have gone unaddressed — speaks to the ultimate disconnect between the people and their elected leaders.

#4  "because no matter who wins the executive branch we will want to restore Congess as the power balance it was created to be."

-well said...and hopefully the congress will do just that instead of giving the executive more power on a platter...

#3  A Ronald Reagan type did not show up for this election so we need to figure out who will do the least damage and hope they turn out far better than we fear.

And those unwilling to hold their noses should at least show up for the down ticket votes because no matter who wins the executive branch we will want to restore Congess as the power balance it was created to be.

#2  ..as though we've finally figured out that it is the Inner Beltway Party vs the proles Hinterland. The Outer Party bureaucracy simply follows the lead.

#1  A great many people have come to the realization that elections don't matter, that all the same crap is going to happen regardless of who is elected, and that the elections are fraudulent just like any banana republic.
