Money, Money, Money

I don't agree with him too often, but once again my favorite liberal, Doug Wiken, makes a very good point.

The big money in big politics is making me think we need a "None of the Above" option on every ballot to send a message that we are not fooled by fraudulent choices generated by huge campaign funds and corporate media horse-race reporting.

I agree wholeheartedly. At this point, none of the candidates are "the best" of the bunch. In fact, if it weren't for money we would have many more choices remaining on our primary ballots.

By the time the primary vote came up in Georgia, we were missing half the field. Many dropped out because they simply did not have the money to continue, or they saw the money they were up against and realized, with the media the way it works, it was a lost cause.

It's shameful that you have to have a ton of money to even think of running for President. If it weren't for money we might actually learn what all of the candidates stand for.
