Stop this silliness, the presidential election is rigged

I just want to know why people abide by the illusion of democracy through willful obedience when they know god damned well that the election process is rigged? What will you say when McCain is president? That the american people are too stupid to vote for change? Then everyone turns around and points the fucking finger saying 'it wasn't me!'. That terrorism once again shaped peoples choices? When are you stupid fucks gonna take the media dick out of your asses and realize that not only are the primaries rigged but every single media poll in the past year has been rigged as well? Rhetoric!

Democracy is more than votes and public officials.

Please, please show your proof that every single media poll in the past year has been rigged.

They want you to think all you should do is vote. Why? Because it makes their jobs easier. When 300,000,000 people are constantly watching, scrutinizing, analyzing, criticizing, protesting, debating, condemning and a myriad of other joys, it makes the job less than easy-going. It is also easier to rob, rape and pillage when no one is watching.

Well, I've come to the point now, I'm beginning to agree with you.

One of my mentors is George Carlin. I've listened to, and I've contemplated what he's had to say for many years. He says, too, we're wasting our time thinking we, each private American citizen, is important to this process. I'm giving this year's election another try.
But, if the Democratic Party decides to consult the superdelegates for the nomination, I, too, will remove myself from the process.
The fact is, all politics are local.
There are so many social, and economical concerns right here in my own backyard, sometimes it's difficult to focus on the "big picture".

And just what do YOU plan on doing about it, bigmouth? Every post of yours is just a perpetual cry-fest about how your being robbed. Do you think the people here don't know how things work in politics, just because we don't bleat about it 24/7?

How many more posts are you going to put up about the same thing? Is this all you have?

The fact that ron paul had more campaign contributions than any other candidate from both 'we the people' and from military personnel yet he is so incredibly fucking LOW in the media polls? Come on dumb asses, think!

i'll tell you what I won't do! I'm not gonna waste my fucking time thinking the presidential elections are not fucking rigged. I supported who I felt the best choice was, I.E Dennis Kucinich! But the man dropped out because he realized the process is fucked up the ass by 1-Corporate interests buying elections and rigging them. 2-Americans who still think their votes matter.

Now on to what I WILL do. Move to fucking canada or france!

I think Dejection2008 is just whining because McCain isn't a slathering extremist right winger, just selectively hardline right wing.
