So giant media organizations give millions in campaign contributions to politicians, and then politicians spend millions advertising on tv, essentially giving the money right back to them. 12.5 million has been spent in Iowa on TV ads alone. That’s an average of 200 dollars per voter. I wonder why the politicians don’t directly just give the voters the money. It seems like a much more logical system. “I’m Mitt Romney, I’m not going to bother you with annoying TV ads this season but instead, here’s two hundred bucks. Vote for me.” 93 percent of elections are won by the candidate who spends more anyway. If our votes are essentially bought these days, shouldn’t the voters at least be the ones profiting?

Holy shit, I love how they break down poll numbers on like a day to day rate now. Fuck, who answers all these goddamned polls. All we hear about is how this poll said this, or this other polls said that. Oh, this just in! We just took a new poll ten minutes ago that says that one crazy libertarian guy is on top. Man at this rate republicans will sift through every candidate until Obama is leading in their primary.
