Election is kind of limp

Oh boy, look who we have for presidential candidates - Romney, a moderate who flip flops more than an epileptic mudskipper, Ron Paul, a weird old man who has the right ideas on most domestic policies but whose foreign ones seem like the onset of dementia, Gingrich - an angry ass named after a large amphibian who resembles Granny from the Tweety cartoons, and Santorum, who I like but who stands as much a chance of making it as a donut in Oprah's office.

There is no way Romney can go up against Obama with his basically same healthcare plan.  That, combined with the fact that even to Republicans the guy looks like a rich prick.  Ron Paul would never make it because Libertarians expect people to be responsible and accountable, and the rest of America expects free iPads and Starbucks gift cards.  Gingrich would just never make it because Palin's mouth on the living Pillsbury Dough Boy just sucks no matter who you are.  Santorum will not win because he has no Latino, African American, gay, or Women's League of Voters votes (whoever wins needs only those in combination with regular old Democrat votes - independents will not determine the outcome).

The main problem here is one that the voters have brought on themselves.  We let the government get huge and raised two generations on the entitlement ticket.  This stems from the fact that the populace fails to understand the difference between rights and privileges, and we have rewarded this lack of understanding for long enough that a massive number of people in this country have only ever known the something-for-nothing way of living.  The number of foxes or chickens that we elect to decide how we should be fed keeps expanding and at this point, I believe it is impossible to reverse the direction this country is going in.  The long and the short of it is that it doesn't ultimately matter who is president MOST of the time - governments always end up abusing their power no matter the name of its policies.  As far as I'm concerned, there are 500+ people in DC that should be out of a job.

Look at the healthcare plan, because I wish someone would - What is it?  The people responsible for strong-arming through without letting the people vote on it can't even tell us anything other that they want their states excluded from it.  Look out in 2014 - I hope the Mayans are right about 2012 because doomsday would be a hell of a lot cheaper than 4 more years of democratic control over the whole country.
