Gary Johnson 2012?

Which is one of the many problems with our country's political system.  When the majority of voters listen to and parrot the loudest voices, and those voices are pandering to an "us vs. them" political system, no one ends up actually listening to the candidate's stance.  It's always "pro-choice" this, "conservative" that, "socialist pig" here, "liberal hippy" there.  People want to address vague stereotypes, not specific stances.

Of course, I understand that this is how group think and the bipartisan political system generally operate, but it's frustrating nonetheless to see individuals perpetuate those stereotypes by claiming that X candidate is not Y because he does not fit some retardedly simple definition of what Y is.

The majority of voters really have bigger issues than this.  Many of them don't even pay taxes anymore and don't really have a vested interest in our country.  Then, there's public education and the inherent lack of standards...  They shouldn't be allowed to vote... or procreate... or even breathe...

Agreed, but if the loudest voices are polarizing the smaller issues into these black and white stereotypes, then they're certainly doing it with the bigger issues.  Again, this is nothing new, but it pisses me off nonetheless.

Yes, but the candidates are just as guilty playing into these stereotypes and simplistic catchphrases mainly to keep it simple for the weaker voters.  And let's face it; the majority of voters are incredibly weak nowadays, especially when you extend voting, bus 'em in, and provide free meals for their vote.  Pander to the lowest common denominator... 

Now, I need to get me some o' dat O'bama money.  Where's my check?

However, I think it unfortunately has to start with the voters.  The politicians are selling it because the voters are buying it.  If we want change (not Obama change), then we have to start with the masses.

Masses who are educated in government schools... without real standards...  We have a chicken and egg scenario here.  The voters aren't going to change anytime soon.
