its been two weeks, so wheres the change? a lot noise was made by
democrats this past election about foreign money making its way into the
election. other extremely wealthy candidates bought their victories with
their own money. does it really matter where the money came from?
campaign finance reform is something the politicians talk about to
get us to think they want to change the system. they dont. im sure you
know where most of that money ends up, tv ads. the solution to this
problem, and honestly most of the problems this country faces, is extremely
simple. all the money from foreign donations, obscenely wealthy candidates,
special interests, etc, etc, etc can be spent in waste if the american
voting public could just do one thing....stop voting based on tv ads. it
really is a simple concept. it doesnt cost anything. it doesnt require
much effort. all it requires is a little thought. if you are interested
enough in voting dont you think you should at least put a little thought
into it? i dont want to rock your world, but not everything you see on tv is true. for example, in real life neil patrick harris is not really chasing after the ladies. im sure at this point your thinking, if i shouldnt pick a candidate by watching a tv ad how can i decide who to vote for? judge them by what they have done, not by what they say they will do. for example, if a candidate has already held an elected
office there will be a record of their votes. votes on issues you probably
care about. or maybe that candidate was elected for a pretty important
office. but she decided halfway through her term that she could make a lot more
money, and have a lot more fun, by quitting the position she was elected for. i
wouldnt vote for that person again because she is a quitter. or maybe the
candidate was in the business field. and maybe the company he was in charge
of was fined for stealing mountains of money from the government. well golly, it seems silly to vote for someone for a government position whose company stole from the government. its like putting a pedophile in charge of an elementary school.
