US Elections: No Matter Who You Vote For, Money Always Wins

Republican presidential debates are not for the faint-hearted. Last week in Jacksonville, Florida, Rick Santorum warned of the "threat of radical Islam growing" in Central and South America. Newt Gingrich advocated sending up to seven flights a day to the moon, where private industry might set up a colony, and reaffirmed his claim that Palestinians were invented in the late 70s. Mitt Romney argued that if you make things tough enough for undocumented people, they will "self-deport".

We have arrived at the point where politicians think the population is so stupid, ANYTHING can be stated and it becomes the truth. Or, the better tactic --- SCARE people with the current "boogeyman" and convince the people that you are the only one who sees the danger and knows how to handle it, usually with more restrictions on our freedom. You know, to "protect us". Gingrich ain't Kennedy and Romney ain't Reagan. And obama? Who the heck knows who HE really is....
