This is the moment
Yesterday I referred to this article in the Washington post (Bug me not is your friend).
As I said then, I think this article nails the problems facing the American voter today. Both Major party candidates suck, no one is informed enough about the third party candidates (like Nader or Badnarik)for them to be a viable force on the national level.
I heard on the radio this morning that according to polls conducted by both the Washington post and USA Today that Bush leads with over 51% of the vote (to Kerry's 41 or 43% the polls had a margin of error +/- 3 or 4 points respectively).
51%. That is it. And that is considered a mandate from the American people. My ass.
Of course the last statistic I read said only something like 35-45 percent of Americans actually vote, so, I suppose we get what we deserve. If we cannot be bothered to actually get involved and pay attention to the people we elect to run the country, we do not have room to complain.
More in a bit,
I need coffee.
