Buying the Presidency

                              The Buying of the Presidency

It should be obvious to any thinking American that politicians have created an electoral system that accommodates only the rich or candidates heavily endowed by rich supporters. We’re seeing it played out on the American scene right now in the most blatantly shameful way on both sides: Democrat and Republican. It seems to be all about money! Whose got the big bucks? This is not a system for the recruitment of real statesmen with integrity and competence, but one that rewards the man/woman with governmental authority who has the most money to put out those snappy “fool em all” ads and slick propaganda.

This should also be obvious to any thinking American when we see the candidate out there with the least financial support but with the greatest popular support. The candidate clearly with consistently strong moral principle, integrity and respect for the Constitution is told to get out of the race because the party machine says he’s not electible. Electibility today seems to mean nothing but money, money to mountan effective national campaign; intelligent leadership, moral quality, honesty and integrity almost
totally devalued. 

The party machine has sold out moral principle and integrity for money. And it’s not just the “old boys club” that has sold out. Even the “new boys club” elected in 2010 sees only dollar signs. They have lost the opportunity to gain the high road of moral integrity and lasting popular support. Equally sad is to see the Tea Party selling out moral conviction and principle to money issues exclusively. They have all lost their moral compasses in the quagmire of the national economic crisis. While that crisis is very real, their only solutions are fiscal, financial and budgetary. It’s in their speeches and press conferences; that’s all they talk about. They are so morally bankrupt that they don’t see there is no hope for a nation without moral virtue and strong moral principles in an election that can only be won by those who stand on the moral high ground.

Before the Governor of the nations, there can be no solution to the economic crisis until we regain the high ground of moral change and moral principles in this nation. The myopic, money-fixated politicians have fostered societal delusion that will lead us from bad to worse. Societal delusion exists where the people are dumbed-down by not only sports, entertainment and perversion, but by disinformation, arrogant political rhetoric and propaganda instead of real truth and information with moral substance.
