I will not let the MSM dictate who I vote for

[bigbrother05]

This whole process seems very primitive to me, and the media is looking for headlines. a Dean scream, I have to say that I clapped when Duncan Hunter declared he was staying in the race today. Kunich is not having a meltdown, and he's staying in. Maybe it is better to be eliminated from the debates. This is a very important year, but it is to much, and I made a promise to myself that I would not get involved until Jan., so now here I am, and it is crazier than I imagined, I quess I would have to categorize myself a fairly new political junkie, have only been involved for about ten years, and still learning something new every day.
My opinion on Clinton, Obama, is the United States is not mature enough to have either candidate as President, don't get me wrong, I would love to see it, but I don't think it will happen.
the media is going to prop up Obama, Clinton, whoever is on top, till we get a candidate, then the dirt will fly up against any repub. I hope I am wrong, but look what the media is doing now and who owns it.
I hope Hillary hangs in there along with everyone else.
Flame away if you must

2. They are not picking my candidate...

but somebody has. I tell myself not to fall for this mind-game-shit that is called presidential politics but I can't help myself...I think it's a problem I have with fantasy vs. reality.

3. If you are not in the early primaries the media does effect your vote

By shutting out the candidate they don't choose they effectively remove them from the contest. Weather we like it or not they are forming this election as much as they did in 2000 and 2004.
No matter how pissed off it makes us and no matter how much we vow not to allow it to happen, they have the microphone and get to spread the propaganda without challenge.

The people are not getting to choose the candidates in this election, the corporate media is.
