I'm sure there are some "good eggs" out there Blockman. Let me venture a guess that the vast majority of those that you know of are probably involved in state government and probably don't reach much higher than "middle management" positions, so to speak. Their reach is limited so as not to have the ability to effect things in ways that would often, if ever, reach the mainstream media and effect any significant portion of a population beyond that of a town, small city or county.
BTW, I WOULD have voted for Ron Paul had he been given a fair chance in an unmanipulated political arena. I believe that he posed a real threat to the powers that be and so a few calls were made and hands shook and, viola!... he completely vanishes from media coverage overnight. I'm not saying the guy was perfect and had it all together, but I sure would have felt better about giving him a shot as opposed to the crowd of babbling heads that end up getting all of the attention.
Ok, I'm really done now. Have a good night.
