Going Libertarian
I wanted to write this last week, but couldn't find the time...
I have voted my conscience. I am very proud of that fact. I did not vote Republican. Nor did I vote Democrat. And I have NO qualms about it whatsoever. I voted Libertarian. It is not that all of my political feelings lie in their realm, they do not. But then, I have never met a Dem or Rep that totally sides to the Left or Right. I believe that the media have turned our free society into jaded, gossip hungry fools who rely on too few for far too much information.
We need an even playing field.
The government should supply the travel, TV time, and full debates for major party candidates. Major parties could be decided on national interim elections or even party petitions for candidacy in between elections. I am not this way because my guy lost. I think we have lost as a country if we cannot pick, out of roughly 150,000,000 adults, one person, who best exemplifies us as a whole.
I don't even believe I will necessarily see this in my lifetime. But I know that I have done MY part to further this process just by voting.
So, to all of you out there who did not vote.
Don't bother griping to me about the US government, you didn't help pick it.
And next time, inform yourselves, don't rely on the media and help make this a better country ONE VOTE AT A TIME.
