Politics and Money

With the amount of money spent on this Presidential election, we could have cut into our Nations deficit. What makes people keep sending money into a certain candidate? For this race I see no one who is so good that I would donate 2300 dollars too. For McCain who is the worst money raiser of the 3 he collected 12 million in January. If he did that each month for 12 months that’s 144 million dollars. Obama collected 40 million in March. This is just over the top. It makes me wonder how much people really care about the mortgage problems. Let alone all the other problems we are facing as a nation.

Why not have 6 or 8 debates on just the issues? Instead of spending so much on getting elected, or playing the he said she said. This would allow us to find out exactly what the candidates stands for. It’s sad in a way how we, the American people tune in to all this crap. Are we that short sighted? I guess.

For me it’s not who the best in this election is, but who’s the lesser of the 2 evils. Since we know it’s going to be McCain vs. Hillary or Obama. Out of the 3 I must say McCain so far looks the lesser of the 3 evils.

One other thought is why we allow Politicians to keep their jobs, in this case 3 senators, while running for another. Would your boss allow you to take time off with pay while you looked for another job?

Last thought, anyone have any idea what it’s costing us for them to have Secret Service protection?
