So, we're back to "making a point" with some miniscule percentage of the total vote. That sounds suspiciously like the dimwitted LP's insistence that their pointless campaigns have somehow had an educational effect on the booboisie. Let's face it: the electoral process is a total sham, with TV program designed to explain to the electorate exactly who they want to vote for and exactly how the vote came out, even when the announcement is made before all the polls have closed. Let's also face the fact that candidate like Ron Paul could get 99% of the popular vote, and the media gatekeepers would brazenly announce that he got a tad over 1%. IMHO, the main problem with our society is that a huge majority of the population is a herd of TV addicted imbeciles with no critical thinking skills whatsoever. Probably, the sooner we face the fact that the "American Experiment" has been over for at least 100 years, the better our chances of managing to jump ship to another country. Sent at: 2008 05 16
