Republican or Democrat?
That’s a question many voters are facing these days. But here’s my question for you: does it have to be? It hasn’t always been a two-man race.
Let’s take the election of 1860. We had not two…not three…but FOUR presidential candidates running at the same time…from DIFFERENT parties. You have the famed Abraham Lincoln from the NEWLY formed Republican Party (You’ll see why I stressed the word new in a moment), John C. Breckinridge from the Southern Democratic Party, Stephen A. Douglas from the Northern Democratic Party and finally John Bell from the Constitutional Union Party.
Guess who won?
Lincoln!
See, back then, people actually looked at the issues. And I’m sure there’s people out there that do actually look at the issues and how we can solve them. But the majority of US citizens don’t. They look at who OTHER PEOPLE are supporting. I mean there’s the youth vote, the black vote, the Hispanic vote, the evangelical vote, the female vote, the squid vote, you name it! And that puts pressure, I guess (I mean I’m not the least bit intimidated by the youth vote…I don’t like Obama. But there’s people that are).
So basically what I want to say is, why pick Republican or Democrat? Have you seen anything GOOD come out of the White House in the past few decades? Let’s face it: Clinton sucked. Bush sucked. Which of the two evils would YOU choose?
The answer should be neither. Now, I’m not telling you that you CAN’T vote for either of those parties, just know that there are OTHER OPTIONS! (Gasp!)
Check this out! There’s the Constitution Party. There’s the Libertarian Party.
Why haven’t you heard about them? The media.
Now here’s where I get mad.
The media is FORCING REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT DOWN YOUR THROAT. Not only that, but they’re also forcing certain candidates down your throat. I’m sure you’ve heard VERY LITTLE about Ron Paul. Why? Because the media is trying to make him look like it’s not possible for him to win. And the worst part is that it’s all working.
Now I have a question for you. Do you like taxes? If so, why? Do you like to give away your hard earned cash so that Congressmen could just stuff it in their pockets? How would you like it if I told you that NONE of that money is going to the war, but rather RIGHT to the Federal Reserve? But that’s another story all together.
My point is this: One of Ron Raul’s messages was to abolish the IRS, the Federal Reserve, and the annoying income tax (which are all UNCONSTITUTIONAL, by the way). The government likes your money. The media is controlled by the government.
Now you make the connection.
Do you want change yet?

but its not just in the media, its also in the classrooms as well. occasionally youll hear about minority parties in history class, but thats only in the context of history, and thats only if they were important enough to implement any changes. i actually recall having to write some bullshit essay about how the two party system is so great and why other countries should emulate our govt... (this was in the days i had no idea what a 'water pipe' really was) going over the concept, it seemed so obviously flawed to only have 2 people running for president in a free and equal society. who decided there would only be two parties? why can't there be three? or 12, or 26.7? our society is based off of competition, right? so the more competition, the better the candidates should be?
then again, if our society was based off of cooperation instead of competition....
this is very true.
not only is the media shoving the two-man race down your throat, but so are schools. And there's no reason they shouldn't: i mean they are run by the govt for the most part, right? and schools are only mind control agents from the govt anyway, right? (well, that's my personal belief. obviously i listened to Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2 MANY times. lol)
back to the point, there's NO reason why elections should be a race between two individuals. And in reality, IT ISN'T. the only reason why most people think it IS would be the effect of the media pushing only two of the political parties. if you really look into it, there's at least 3 other political parties (I'm talkin bout the Constitution, Libertarian, and Green Parties). There's no reason why they shouldn't get as much attention as Republicans and Democrats.
And I admit I'm no help. I mean, it was I that posted the poll that only has candidates from those two parties. However, this will change...once I find out who the other candidates are.
i think its about time for a dissertation of my beliefs on the modern schooling system... and yes, you know im in trouble when i start busting out big words like that
and al i have to say is:
democracy is one big gangbang.
google that.
