Long long ago

Or at least it seamed that way. November 2007 the campaigners came to New Hampshire. The Primary is coming, the Primary is coming they cried. Vote for my guy, vote for my guy they did cry. Even if sometimes the guy was a girl.

To do my duty with so many names what was I to do. Many people where more than happy to direct me to sites to survey my views and line me up with a candidate.

I went to several and not to my surprise a guy I had voted for before was at the top of the heap. 65% agreement with Ron Paul, at last I could vote in a major party primary with conviction.

The dust has cleared the vote is near. If I listen to the media I have two choices the guy I agreed with 34% of the time or the guy I disagreed with 67% of the time.

So search of a site I did. I found one but can’t pass it on because now they want a cell phone number to take their poll. Paul still number one but he is out. McCain wouldn’t even let him talk at the convention. One guy number 16 the other 26 of all the people that announced and ran.

Oh but look at number 2 the Libertarian Bob Barr.

Yes you do have a choice there are six people running for president with their names on the ballot in enough states to win the electoral vote.

Why does the media ignore real choices?

To vote Libertarian or join the majority of Americans and stay at home on Election Day?
