To me, voting for Kucinich, Gravel, McKinney, or Paul makes some sense even though they're unlikely to win. At least we're asking for something honest and principled during the first round of voting. Ron Paul isn't the perfect candidate and his Jeffersonianism is not as full-bodied as I would prefer (e.g., he's too weak on the ecological dimension), but at least he's a step in the right direction and his ability to attract a wide range of grassroots support is commendable. He's not the only good choice, but he's no lunatic and there is some logic behind his campaign. It's not everything, but it is something. In a rigged system with a populace divided by secondary issues and exploited by a bipartisan elite, it may be the best we can do in 2008.
See here; the need to BYPASS the PR 'establishment' (I call it the Interest/Profit/Wage Paying/SYSTEM Limited Liability Corporate Nation State) is all too evident in this current 'leadership' supply aiming to meet a demand.
Is that too hard to understand (I get people telling me I can't write for shit)?
If the idea is to be represented accurately by empowering someone into a position of control over many varied collective forces, then, why play the game of the opposition?
Why not work the game in our favor?
Why wrestle with rats in a dark cold dungeon? Why attack sharks in the deep water? Move the debate to the internet where the market for information does not exclude accurate information? Leave the dungeon full of rats behind sooner rather than too late. Sure – it may be a small step in this round because the balance of power remains tipped toward the legal criminals (torturing mass murderers for profit) today. It is past time to think ahead for a tomorrow that isn’t apocalyptic – in purpose (again – for profit).
Get the real front runners together and showing how real leaders debate.
If they aren’t real leader, then, they won’t lead. See? They follow.
Don’t
Lead don’t follow
It is past time.
