Why go door to door when money can talk for you instead.

So what happens with all this money raised by political candidates? All these millions and millions of dollars generated by the Super-PACs quickly goes to pollsters and political consultants. Not to mention the millions of dollars spent on TV and radio ads. The candidate, by law, is not to keep any of the funds raised. Except to fund his or her campaign. Huge amounts of money wasted. Blown. Flushed down the drain. Not really benefiting anybody except the professional image fabricators and PR organizations.

Millions that could be easily spent on more teachers. More Police and fire professional. Money that could field a whole new hospital shift of nurses and medical aids. The total sum could easily build either dozens of schools or build and equip police or fire departments and or hospitals. So, scratch your head. What a waste.

You have to ask yourself, how did President Truman, with very little means, get elected? He had no sizeable income or family wealth. How did President Nixon do the same with little wealth? There were no Political Action Committees back then. But were elected nonetheless. So why does need to spend so much money just to elected a President?

The answer, greed and control. It no longer matters if a party or candidate has popular support by the voters with promised proposals. What matters, and mostly among conservatives, is control. Control control and control. A group of individual’s hell bent on doing it their way and their way only. Only for the sake of control by the few and be dammed if the democrats ever regain control. “It’s my way or the highway.” Never mind what the people want. Control is key and we will never let it go at any and all cost.
