I truly believe the fact we all must understand, like it or not, is that no matter who you vote for you will get a Free Market person and a person who will work closely with Big Business. In my opinion these people are part of an elite establishment that propagate their own agenda, with a few variances here or there but in foundation and root beliefs they are the same. In fact Big Business gave their total support to John McCain here in Florida. Does that say anything?

Well simple, once again, ask the Governor of Florida, who also supports John McCain.  He is also another Free Market guy and him about his trust in Allstate Insurance. Does NAFTA, SPP, Immigration, China, etc, etc, etc say anything to you? One could give numerous examples but I haven’t the time. In my opinion, based on his endorsement, he still hasn’t learned, or does it really matter? Yes, ask average Floridians and you will have your answer to what I am saying. Notice I said average. Why, Florida is predominently the home of the haves. It says a lot about America today and where we are. In my opinion a negative change in the lives of average Americans has slowly been going on since the early 90's. It has literally destroyed many an average American family in varied ways and their future. So as I have been saying, the only real opportunity we average Americans have left for real change is to change who is there and that my friends is in my opinion a difficult task except for one thing which I will get to later. Yes, do not expect the hard line party types, the vote because of race types, those who vote for social agenda, or to get something and those who just don’t know much about anything and of course the sit home do nothing complainer types to help.

Now if you place someone at the top who has a direction to go in, they still need the crew to get them there. So change the captain and send a shockwave. Change the crew as well and you send a major blast. One that will resonate in the halls of power for years to come and literally the world. However, don’t make a change and you wind up where they are taking you.

The total number of registered voters in South Carolina is 2,157,006. In last evenings election we saw about 425,000 voters turn out or about 20% of the total eligible voters in this state. However, according to the media Obama won an overwhelming victory in this state. Yes the media calls it the American dream, a great change. Rhetorically, is it a Fairy Tale victory as they described and has America spoken? Well this was only a primary. What about the other 80%? of South Carolina voters? So this simple example in my opinion demonstrates how the press manipulates us toward candidates and tries to make us believe there is a real difference. In my opinion the darlings of the race and their favorites if you listen to them are Obama and McCain and they have not as yet excluded Hillary. After all they don't want to cut their ties too soon. We will see after Feb 5. If she goes on does anyone believe it will not be Hillary / Obama? If she loses  and I do not believe that for a moment, that will be interesting as to who gets #2.

 

What can average Americans do to bring about change? Can’t be done you say. Well certainly if you do nothing come November you are right. However, the answer lies before you as does the power of the vote. Yes, everyone of these candidates and every incumbent in office must go. How do you do that. Simple, you vote for the other running against them. No change, perhaps and maybe just enough? However, you have sent a message loud and clear do as they and out you go next time around. So my fellow average Americans, no not what they call Middle Class, making $70,000 and up, if you do not have a computer or know how to use it, you will only read this via someone telling or passing it to you. Many average Americans don't bother to go to the internet, they are too busy surviving, so they never hear another perspective or view. Sadly, this is a major factor to inhibiting change. Average Americans have only an outside chance at best to start with, but none the less a chance to make real change. However, if you sit home, do nothing, don’t talk to your neighbor, don’t spread the word, don’t vote them out, then I say, don’t complain. Suck it up and take what you wanted and asked for and got. It is as simple as that.
