McCain, Romney spar before Super Tuesday

There Were two Other Candidates

There is no true democracy in America. That fact is reflected with crystal clarity by the biased actions of the powerful American media. The American people have been manipulated since the beginning of the U.S. presidential primary season, ( well, actually a little longer then that) and tonight in California in all came to fruition.

There were four candidates at the debate tonight, but based on how the debate was run by CNN and Politico.com, there may as well have been two and a half candidates. There is no way that that can be portrayed as fair democratic representation of the choices that the American people have. The media, as it has done throughout this primary season, has effectively played the roll as Dictator to he American people.

Does one have to be a Ron Paul supporter in order to be angered by the travesty that occurred tonight? Not really. Consider the post debate debacle. What topic got the most chat time with Anderson Cooper and the so called "best political team on television"? In case no-one noticed, it was all about Hillary and Barack. I wonder how much time Wolf Blitzer and company will spend tomorrow night, during the Democrats time in the spotlight, talking about the Republicans? Don't hold your breath.

I have learned a lot in the past few months. I've learned about how frustrating it is to support a viable candidate that the media doesn't take seriously.

As far as this blogger is concerned, the only two men who talked with any substance tonight were Paul and Huckabee. I don't like Huckabee's religious background, but the man brought up some excellent points. I particularly liked his argument that Jefferson's vision for America was right while Hamilton had it all wrong!

McCain was an arrogant prick as usual. Does he honestly think the Republicans lost the 2006 mid-terms over financial mismanagement and not the war in Iraq?

Romney's argument that the American people would rather pick a Governor to be President over a member of congress. Statistically, perhaps, but did he really want to go there? George W. was Governor of Texas. Jimmy Carter was Governor of Georgia. Need I say more?

In conclusion, had I been in Ron Paul's shoes, I would have stood up and left the stage. That probably would have made a bigger impact on the debate than anything that was actually said tonight. But that's not Ron Paul's style. He has too much class, and too much self-control to do anything like that.
