How surprising would it be to know that Mitt Romney was the pawn for the Republican party so it can continue to keep its parties “status quo” and not have mavericks within its ranks change what has for all intents and purposes morphed into the Democratic party? Okay, that may not be a fair appraisal, but other than words, are there any real differences in the two parties? Are either of these parties REALLY going to change anything? This year I didn’t even see who the Green Party or Independent candidates were, wasn’t there any other parties besides the elephant and the ass? In the past years at the very least Ralph Nader and Ross Perot had a little face time, but who were in the other parties this time? Without the Internet I would probably never know. This is the open media that Nazi Germany enjoyed.

Let’s really look at what has happened even within the ranks of the 2 main parties. Ron Paul - a open voice in the wilderness strives to get attention, but the news agencies overlook him. Fred Thompson, whom I initially had high hopes for even got more face time than Ron, but failed to sound official (of course there was a writers strike going on…). There was a black man at one time at one of the podiums, it may have been on the Democratic side, I only seen him once during one debate. And no, I didn’t say “African-hyphenated-American”, you have to be a full American to be President or Arnold the Terminator would be in the race, so like I said… it was some black man. He ranted the one or two times that the cameras panned over to him, he spoke words and sentences and didn’t babble or double talk. Of course the cameras wouldn’t stay on him and the panel of inquisitors strangely didn’t direct questions towards him, funny how that works. I think his name was “Keyes”, yeah, Alan Keyes. The communication conglomerates instead, watch Huckabee, McCain, and Romney, while the election cycle moves on. I mean why didn’t the massive agencies put more of Thompson or Paul or even Duncan Hunter on the television? It isn’t like these media giants don’t have the resources to give these people a voice, but instead they loop the same sound bites over and over, effectively stopping other viable candidates from being seen by the masses.

Now that super Tuesday is in the past and a large majority of the states have watered down their strength in voting numbers, what happens? The pawn moves forward and sacrifices itself, effectively removing not only itself as a threat to the rest of its game pieces but in its timing and prior positioning, quelling the lesser known players from ever seeing the playing field and thus not being seen in the spotlight. As this is typed Romney is doing a speech in which he will say that he will step off the playing field. He’s used the word “sacrifice” 2 or 3 times already. Like a con man playing 3 card monty, he’s stayed in the political race long enough to remove the action from other political hopefuls who can no longer be the much needed voice of the people. Romney sacrificed himself perfectly, taking the needed votes for the only real people for change within his party from being recognized.
