The untold story...

I will resume my follow up story from yesterday for tomorrow but I wanted to get this out.

There is an untold story of the Republican primaries, which, for the nearly every American has had no way of knowing, that has continued alongside the Democratic primaries, and received almost no media coverage. That story is that the Republican primaries could have been made more interesting media content due to the fact that, although, John McCain has been the “presumptive Republican nominee” since January, as late as last month, McCain squeeked out 70% in the Pennsylvania primary. I use squeeked due to the fact that even without any media coverage over 11% of the Republican primary voters went for Mike Huckabee, who had officially dropped out in February, and 16% have voiced their desires for Ron Paul.

In Idaho, just last week, Ron Paul received 24% in the Republican primary. This is an amazing figure considering the public has been fed virtually no information indicating that McCain has any opponents at all! Huckabee has consistently managed to pick up 7-10% in each state. He continued to wipe up the core religious right wing that remains of the dying Republican generation. But Ron Paul is a phenomenon that the Republican Party refuses to let the media get their hands on. They don't want to dilute the Republican vote as they know how much work it is going to be to beat the democrats anyway, let alone having problems even to this date of party unity. They present their story that the Republican Party is solid and behind McCain to a false reality, of which they have become very proficient at presenting their false realities. We can see based on these poll recent results that the Republican primaries media coverage don’t give us the full view of appropriate proportional delegate representation, as the democrats do. If they did, there would still be a race going on there with true media coverage. So, what does all of this mean?

The Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in September may have some surprises in the form of dissent from within. Only it won’t be liberal Democrats and anarchists rioting in the streets, it will be millions of those Republicans who have been trying to register their opposition to the War, to deficit spending, and to the Imperial Presidency, to which Dick Cheney has called it, the “Unitary Executive”. (whatever he is trying to make the public know what that means)

While I can agree with only a few of Dr. Paul’s libertarian ideas (those being economic ideas) I disagree with much of his conservative platform as they are contrary to my liberalism. But I find it encouraging that so many Republicans are still expressing their views and desires even with no voice afforded them by the media. I am hoping that this will shine brightly at the Republican convention and show that party the dissent it deserves. Perhaps it will be time that the reactionary Rove agenda will dissipate and delude the overall party consensus to a point that the left wing conservative will realize the party's misrepresentations that have been going on and they will finally see the manipulation of the press that the Republicans have come to control so well and side with a democratic option in Nov.

In the days of old...

when knights were bold, and elections were not yet invented. They would sit in the round, then discuss what went down and later tell everyone what had happened. (This would be after there became a general consensus as to what they wanted everyone to know as to what had happened. How things never change.)

We have the opportunity to create a major change in our world with this upcoming elections. I have tried for so long to leave politics out of this blog, but there comes a time to step up and stand for what one believes in.

There are currently three major competitors for the position to be filled in the White House. This is a job search for the best possible person for the job of running the largest corporation in the world. We need someone who has a level head and is not hot under the collar, just in case some radical group has issues and pisses off the President. We need someone who is capable of handling the hours as the world and its timelines tend to keep the person up at all odd hours for years at a time. We need someone who is respected for their previous experience and can work across political party lines. We need someone who is capable of thinking outside the current situation so as to rectify some major political and economical issues at hand. We need someone who is confident in their economic policy ideas. We need someone who is capable of seeing the future.

Well, enough of that, this would put McCain out. He is 72 years old, making him the oldest elected President ever. At this time, most people are slowing down a bit. They can get tired more often, remember Reagan sleeping on camera? Someone with whom Bush supports certainly now has an uphill battle to face. That is unless God told him to back McCain...McCain has stated publicly that he is not that savvy in economic issues. He has stated that he is much in line with a more of the same approach...

This brings us to Clinton and Obama. Both of these people have the years and stamina to make this job. Both of them have shown their means of working across party lines and not disenfranchising themselves through outbursts and opinionated ideas over their tenures. Both of them have shown the public that their ideas have legs and come from a place of thinking outside the current conditions and finding means to rectify today's political situations. They have stated publicly that they have ideas on the economy and were not afraid to tackle them. They have shown through their Senate backgrounds of voting for healthcare issues are concerns and timely. Obama has shown us that he has never been for the Iraq war and continues to fight for the illegal and unjustified means that the current administration has handled things. Hillary has shown us, through her work in Senate committees that she can handle herself with major issues and deal with others outside of our borders in rational and open discussion forum ways and means. They both have shown their dedication and desire to come to the table representing the United States to come up with new ideas and actions to help stop global warming and carbon emissions.

We need change, we need a new outlook and party to think in real terms for real issues. We need someone who knows what the people are thinking and feeling in order to rationally think in real terms for solutions to everyday issues.

I am going out on a limb and presenting a scenario for today's ticket. If we have Clinton/Obama, I believe that this would help us move forward in to a new era of politics. Then in eight years, Obama will be in a perfect position to take on the role as head of state. If we could bring sixteen years of new ideas to the table with a democratic house and senate, we might be able to salvage all of the damage that has been done to us over the past 7 1/2 years. We need a major change, not only for us but in order to salvage the world and so many of its problems to which the world is searching for leadership and answers and have found NONE with our administration over the past 7 1/2 years. Our debt has grown to the stratosphere from a surplus when this administration took office. Our budgets continue to remain unbalanced. Our respect held by others in the world has vanished.

It is time for a major wake up call, at 3 AM to someone who can handle the job and cares about what they are doing to others.
