Watching the primaries are like watching a reality show


After watching the republican primaries this election, I can’t help but think the same way. They make the primaries seem as though it is some reality TV show but in reality, it is just a bunch of people getting in front of the camera and saying what the people want to hear to win votes while ignoring the real issues at hand. It’s ridiculous to think back in 2008 when Obama ran for president, he fed the public nothing but false promises. It was like watching a parent feed a child candy to keep them happy. He promised to bring our troops home and nothing but change, but how many of those promises has he followed through on. Yes, it’s understandable that when you actually become president, the situation changes; you see the whole picture and all you can do is come up with a solution with the most compromises, but then it brings you back to the question, why have this whole exhibition of two sides if in the end it really doesn’t make a difference. The nominees do what they can to get in and when they are in, they have no responsibility but to keep the important people happy, which sadly isn’t us, the people.

I like your quote because it makes me think about Ron Paul’s message; he talks of nothing but falling back on the constitution, because really, that is what this country was formed upon; that is our foundation. Our forefathers did not write the constitution just so it could be adjusted at will; they were the creators, as a creator you don’t come up with rules if they were meant to be broken and ignored, especially if it has to do with the way of life for a whole nation.
