Voting Isn't Working

...at least from my humble point of view

I FIRST voted for GW. I then had to reverse the error by tirelessly canvassing for Dean, then, Kerry.

Now I must vote for Ron Paul.

Have I seen any change? Will I see any change?

It's like this country is a cannonball going it's own way regardless of voters' voice.

The Democrats took over the Senate and almost own Congress but what change in direction have we seen?

Makes you think the whole process rigged!

Enjoy the fatalist video.

I guess your solution of voting "them out" would make sense if we were not dealing with a system "controlled" by two parties who work together to kick down independents on the national level.

If you are an outsider, they both attack you, beyond that, the two parties have their spin masters who pollute any word of mouth you might get as an independent with "spin" most of it bullshit and all of it negative.

Beyond that they work to keep you off the ballot so people either cannot or believe they cannot vote for you. Most independent candidates never break the double digit support rate in national polls. Certainly there are exceptions, Ross Perot, but usually they are rich as well.

Even if you are an independent, or a good natured R or D, the problem is they all make this sacrifice of integrity for electability.
