It has been nearly a month since my last post—gasp!—and for that I apologize to those few that check in here from time to time. I'll do better in the future...really I will.
Today, however, something is weighing on my mind: where were the others last night?
Mitt and Barack went at it on national TV, radio, the web and everywhere imaginable, but where was, oh, say Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party (capital "L") candidate? Or Buddy Roehmer, an independent candidate and former Governor of Louisiana?
Why are "outsiders" forbidden from participating in these debates? Is that fair? Is that what we should want? "Well, these people don't stand a chance of winning" you say? No wonder; they can't get the publicity needed to become viable candidates.
It's just not right, my friends. Who knows, with these other "non-mainstream" folks, these debates could really become interesting. They could even help to right some wrongs in how we do political business.
The Repubs and the Demos control the rules and those rules forbid others from getting into the game. That's not right and not what's best for the U.S. of A.
With the limited field we were presented with, however, Mitt kicked butt...big time. What in the world qualified Mr. Obama to be President of these United States anyway??? He looked like a whipped schoolboy who had just claimed he'd lost his homework. Just sayin'...
