Your opinion is meaningless...

The sad realization that I've just come to is that my political viewpoint is meaningless. The authors who write political opinions and blogs are inconsequential. The research centers and policy thinktanks are useless. Talk radio may as well be broadcast in sign language.

The people who decide elections in this country are the ones who pick their heads out of the sand a week before an election and vote for whichever candidate had the most signs between their home and their place of employment or whose 3-word slogan resonates better emotionally.

America's future hangs in the balance, and it will be decided by the dangerous portion of our population which takes the time to vote but yet does not take the time to educate themselves as to the substance nor the weight of that for which they cast a ballot.
