The race for the Republican nomination is becoming depressing. Romney takes Iowa and New Hampshire. Proving once again that the average voter today is unaware of anything about the candidates other than what they've seen on the TV advertisements. Proving again that he who garners the most campaign contributions, and therefore can afford the most ads, wins.
Illustrating once more the MAJOR problem with our political system as practiced today. You don't think those huge contributors - personal and corporate - don't expect anything in return for their millions, do you? It's why our tax code is so full of special loopholes, for one thing. Obama has made an art out of rewarding his backers with government (YOUR) money.
I am going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction. If Romney is elected President, don't expect any fundamental change in this situation. In fact, unless Tea Party candidates win the House and Senate by a landslide, I predict we won't see much of a change at all. Oh, they'll make piddling cuts here and there, but definitely not the major spending cuts and policy changes it will take to save our country.
Lord, help us make wise decisions
