Climbing Out of the Doldrums

Not being a fan of Mitt Romney to begin with, his campaign "susupension" of February 8th, had little affect on me. However, his campaign "withdrawal" and endorsement of McCain had a more pronounced reaction.

As I have said previously, I have been disenfranchised this election. Millions of Americans have been disenfranchised, but no one seems to be bothered by it. Nor does anyone appear to be inclined to DO something about it.

The constant refrains ringing through the air are disturbing, to say the least.
To say; "we have no choice" or "our only choice is mccain or a rat" and my favorite - "the people voted" and gave us mccain.

Is this the way the founders of our country and the framers of the constitution intended for us to survive? Unless I misunderstand, the power of the government is granted by the people, not the other way around.

After only seven states had an opportunity to cast a vote or register their preference, as was the case in Wyoming, mccain was declared the front runner. Never mind the fact he had only "won" 3 of those 7 states with 37, 33 and 36% respectively and came in second in one contest with 29%. Meanwhile, Romney had also won 3 of those 7 states with 57, 38 and 51% and came in second in three states with 25, 31 and 31%. Oh hell, let's add the last of the states before "super Tuesday" and do the math. Romney won Maine with 52% of the vote, followed by mccain with 21% and Paul with 18%.

McCain had garnered a measly 25% of the vote from only 7 states when he was declared the so-called front runner. This was simply greasing the wheels for the mind-numbed idiots to vote for him a few days later giving him the nomination.
