It is no secret that nothing divides the nation more than a good election. But never before has it been as bad. I'm not talking about the level of partisanship, our economy or our environment. I am talking about the adds. They are on every channel every hour of every day. Be it on TV or on the radio, they are everywhere.
There is one good thing about all this though. Not only does it show why Super-Pacs should be illegal, but why campaigns should be publicly financed. We the people have no Public Forum beyond the media, therefore every idea and agenda should be allowed to have the same amount of time opportunity to be discussed.
And I do mean every idea, be it democrat or republican, liberal or conservative, communist or facism (nazisim). I am confident that the ideology that is both morally right and realistically sound will be chosen by the American people.
This would allow more people to speak, thus ensuring a free society. Right now the money of the few drowns out the voices of the many. I fear for my country, it doesn't matter how many voices speak, if only one or two can be heard, than it is bad for America, and her people.
