On Cain bowing out and the likely future...

So goes the last best hope we had, when the dust finally settles and a GOP candidate is chosen, we'll be left with voting for the lesser of two evils. Again.

I don't blame the GOP for standing by and doing nothing, I don't blame the Democrats for continuing the same sort of dirty tricks that got B.O. put into office. I blame John & Joan Q. Public and their apathy. An informed and involved citizenry wouldn't allow the shenanigans that happen in our politics to be even thought of. Instead we have what, a bunch of couch potatoes getting their news & views spoon fed to them when not watching pro sports, American Idol or Glee.

As proof of this, I point to the fact that here in Texas the last Election Day saw a grand 5 per cent turnout of all eligible voters. This despite the fact that the state ballot contained ten measures dealing with amendments to the state's constitution. Nothing major, mostly the authorizing of whoever is in Austin to further pick your pocket. Who would want to vote on that?

When it comes to responsible citizens staying on top of things and doing their civic duty, We The People suck on toast. In the long run it will really bite us on the ass.
