Note:  Please
listen in tomorrow at 3:30pm PDT (5:30pm Central, 6:30 Eastern) on Internet
Radio for a quick half-hour discussion between the Political Cesspool's James
Edwards and myself concerning the upcoming Presidential election (and all manner
of other things, of course).  Visit http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/ at about 3:30 pm PDT and feel free to call in with your
questions.

My name is Edgar J. Steele.

Voting.  What a joke.  Like
voting makes a difference.

First off, we never get any really viable
candidates for any office.  Seriously, now - Obama and McCain are the best
that America has to offer?  The best?  Hell, I can think of any number
of people within a 5-minute drive who would be more honest, honorable and
thoughtful as President.  Certainly, almost as experienced as Obama and
qualified as McCain.  I'll bet you can, too.  So, how did we get
saddled, yet again, with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum?

Seems like Americanus Boobus would notice
that the game is rigged, but the vast majority of us never do.  You can
fool most of the people all of the time, it seems.

Like Charlie Brown every Fall, trusting Lucy to hold the
football while he kicks it (she always pulls it back at the last possible
moment, so that Charlie Brown falls in a heap from his vain effort), once again
I put my support behind a candidate:  Ron Paul.  Once again, it was a
total waste of time and money.

Yes, I believe that Ron Paul was the best
of a fairly vapid field and, yes, I believe that Ron Paul would make a good
President.  In fact, I believed more than Ron Paul himself that we
could make him the President.  Of course, neither the Powers That Be (PTB)
nor the Main-Stream Media (MSM) would allow it.  You saw how he was
marginalized and neutralized at every turn.  It didn't help that he turned
out to be a one-note Johnny (albeit the correct note).  Nor did his
inarticulate responses to so many "debate" questions and challenges help.
Nor did his shifty-eyed demeanor and squeaky voice reassure us.
Pity.

We Deserved to
Win

I encouraged others to support Ron Paul and
the response was magnificent.  Thank you.  I felt I had to make
one, last try at working within the system to save America.  I feared it
was foredoomed, just as did Ron Paul from Day 1, but we had to try, just like
good ol' trusting Charlie Brown.  We deserved to win.  We
deserved to win and that counts for something, doesn't it?

However, we have learned that, in the
immortal words of Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven, as he stared down the barrel of
his rifle at the crooked sheriff, prostrate on the saloon floor and protesting
that he didn't deserve to die:  "Deserve's got nothin' to do with
it."

To those who keep sending around emails
explaining how, at the convention, Ron Paul somehow will ensnare enough
delegates to receive the Republican nomination, I say:  get over
it.

To Ron Paul, to whom my family contributed
hundreds of dollars we could ill afford to spare, I say:  I want a
refund.   We gave you that money to campaign and challenge illegal
vote tampering.  Despite manifest rigging in the very first primary (New
Hampshire), you chose not to raise a legal challenge - you chose to "take the
high road."  Time and again, you have ignored patently illegal rigging and
tampering.  We've all seen how that approach has worked out for you.

You didn't even spend all the money we gave
you in campaigning, but held back millions of dollars that you still hold,
preferring to spend it on some sort of splinter effort to "influence the
outcome."  True winners influence the outcome by winning.  We
contributed to help you win, not simply to influence the
outcome.

Too
McPainful

Having rapped both Obama and Hillary, I suppose
that soon I must do a piece about the traitorous McCain, the third liberal
running for President this year.  Not today, though.  It's just too
much pain to contemplate McCain's shortcomings so close to Independence
Day.

The biggest problem McCain
confronts is the guy sitting in the Oval Office right now - the guy with the
worst public-approval ratings in history (worse than Nixon, even).
McCain's a Republican, too, and obviously the second coming of George W.
Bush.

Just as the Republicans got
thrown out of Congress at the last mid-term election (for all the good
that did us), I expect them to be thrown out of the Executive Branch at
the upcoming election.  If we're lucky, the Democrats might get thrown out
of Congress, too, not that it really matters.  The real problem with
America's two-party system is that both can't ever seem to
lose.

The Lesser of Two
Evils

Yet again, I hear many tuning up
to vote for whomever they perceive to be "the lesser of two evils," as though
that is some sort of conscientious and informed method of selection.
They're both evil, you morons!  If Bush the lesser taught us
anything, it is what a crapshoot that sort of thinking can produce.

Yet, here they go again - voting
against Obama because of his anti-gun stance or hyper-liberal bias or,
incredibly enough, due to his skin color, the very least intelligent
criterion upon which to evaluate a member of another race (and exactly what race
is it, of which Obama is a member, incidentally?) or voting against
McCain because he wants us to stay in Iraq, shredding our children for another
hundred years, needs be.

Yes, there are third parties,
notable among them the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party.  Do
you even know who their nominees are?  I didn't think so.  So much for
third parties.

Vote Yes on
No

That leaves us with choosing
between voting selectively and not voting altogether.  We should vote, if
for no other reason than to be able to go into that polling booth and vote
against every, single incumbent in every, single office on the ballot
except President, perhaps.  Write in Mickey Mouse or Madonna?
Don't give them an excuse to invalidate your entire ballot.  Simply don't
vote for President.  Vote against all incumbents.  Vote against all
propositions.  Vote a resounding No on everything this
year.  Everything except President, of course.  To the Presidency,
offer only your refusal to play along.

New
America.  An idea whose time has come.
