The true problem is with the corrupted election process.


http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/debates.html


Until all of the candidates can be heard, there is little hope of reform from within.


There is just no longer any question about whether, or not the debates are exclusionarry, and rigged. The proof is there, if you care to look.
I have no quarrel with open debates. I fully agree with allowing any serious candidate to debate. The Libertarians are routinely shut out of National debates.

I am not saying the election processes may not be corrupted, but rather, some losers always makes a big stink about the corruption they know takes place going into the elections. Some losers make bigger stinks than others. Reallity. Cry babies.

Think about it, can two crooks take each other to court?

Many claimed the election of 1960 was stolen by the Kennedys. Nixon wasn't a sore loser. He went away knowing he would be a better crook someday. The difference between the election of 1960 and 2000 is that the losers of the election of 2000 made a bigger stink about it. It is just history repeating itself, with more noise.

I don't condone crooked politics. But I realize that it is reality. It is called "realpolitik". I don't know how many times I have to write this word. This business that GWB is unique in some of his behavior is just ignoring what has been a reality since the inception of American politics. So when you paint GWB with the brush of crooked politics, remember that brush has a wide stroke that covers many others as well.

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. M.T.
