I've been spending more time here in L&P lately, and find all the threads about the potential candidates extremely interesting. This is a very important election, perhaps maybe one of the most important in history. I really believe that. This country is on a path that many do not agree with (see the top news stories of late, mostly having to do with DOMESTIC spying). My father was in the National Security Agency for 25 years, retiring in 1998. He said during his stint nobody would've allowed the things that have been going on post 9-11. Domestic spying, especially all this warrantless stuff, scares him.
At any rate, I see things I like from a lot of the people you guys have posted about- Paul, Huckabee, Tancredo, etc. Some seem to really have some good ideas.
The problems? I don't own TV, but when I do watch at my friends or families houses, all you hear about is Hillary, Obama, Rudy, Mccaine, Romney. By word of mouth, nobody is I know is even talking about these people. Nothing they say is interesting. But they have all the money and all the air time.
What I see is a divide...a divide against what people really want and what the federal government wants in a president and a cabinet. There was a lot of hoopla about how the votes were tallied in the last two election (Diebold machines).
Do you all have faith that an electronic vote counting system is fool-proof? Do you believe your votes will go towards who you want, on a mass country wide scale? If people want to elect someone that wants to change things, while the media is pressing these BIG FIVE names into our heads, is there a conflict of interest?
My question is if anyone else has noticed this, and is at all concerned with how the votes in this next election are going to be tallied. After all, as the saying goes, its the vote COUNTERS who decide elections.
Is it all above board?
