Who is Tired of the Political Circus?

You might think I would be the last person to post about a process that grips the nation’s attention months before elections are held. You might think that criticizing the publicity is anti-American, as the media coverage and scrutiny are necessary to find a good president of this country. Maybe you are right. But what happened to the time where the President was chosen because he stood out amongst others. What happened to the time  when we knew we had a great candidate to choose from?

I strongly believe that much time and energy is wasted in covering the campaigns, and that it could be better spent working diligently while realizing that we aren’t going to have a particularly good candidate to choose from this year. We should understand the basic principles and history of each candidate, and while choosing a candidate should not be a simple process, it should not become an obsession. How many man-hours is spent discussing, arguing about, or digging up facts on the two candidates on hand? I won’t spend too much time on this, otherwise it would seem a great irony.
