This blog participated in an April Fools Day joke that was really not a joke (at least, so I thought when I signed up… nor did any of my compatriots). This “joke” was to be a way to wake up Americans to an Initiative that Mike Gravel is sponsoring and to illuminate his campaign and ideology.
I have come away from this experience with a second lesson learned when it comes to “second tier” or “third party” candidates… their campaigns suck. Period. Maybe that is the nature of the beast. Maybe, since the 1st Tier” candidates are sucking in all the bucks, they can attract the real talent and no matter how much people like me want to help… we don’t have the skills, apparently.
I witnessed the same thing with the Kucinich Campaign for President. As much as I agree with the content and ideology of Mr Kucinich (I even gave money for his congressional campaign) I found that the campaign was lacking horribly. This is not an attack against the people, but an another acknowledgment that the election process is screwed.
My “peeps” seem to understand that a third party candidate stands no chance at winning, but we are just as intent on getting visibility to these third party candidates. But I come away from this endeavour frustrated and angry because I do not like wasting my time or depending on someone that is incompetent or uninterested (for I am not sure what happened in this case).
All I know is that this election cycle has pissed me off, more because no matter how much I try, the MSM has a program and I can’t seem to change the channel.
So, should I join the Obama bandwagon? No. To hell with him. Screw the Dems and Thugs. And the Indys, if they are going to be inept.
How in the hell does an Indy think he will get elected going up against such a well-oiled machine? Damn near impossible, especially with the likes of the situation I experienced yesterday?
Manila Ryce has the details of how and why we did it here.
UPDATE from davisfleetwood:
As I explained to him, spoken from “my” heart… Thanks!
