...accept voting for those officials? "The Return of Big Government: A bulked-up uncle Sam is coming back to deal with housing, healthcare, Social Security, and more" | By James Pethokoukis, Posted April 11, 2008

'Here's a little straight talk: Whether you pull the lever (or fill in the oval or touch the screen) for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or even John McCain in November, you're probably still going to end up in 2009 with a push for Big Government of the sort not seen in a generation. More taxes. More regulation. More spending. "It's going to be like watching That '70s Show," says Daniel Clifton, political analyst at Strategas Research Partners, which provides research to institutional investors.'"
However, when an "underdog" candidate like Dr. Ron Paul presents himself, he is cast aside by mainstream media outlets despite the genius and strength of his platforms as well as track record in office, only to be followed by Americans crying out for a candidate with the credentials such as Ron Paul himself possesses. Take a quick overview of Ron Paul's record:
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
-He has never voted to raise taxes.
-He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
-He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
-He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
-He has never taken a government-paid junket.
-He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
-He voted against the Patriot Act.
-He voted against regulating the Internet.
-He voted against the Iraq war.
-He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
-He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Why do Americans entrench themselves through mainstream media propaganda, often knowing full-well the bias and spin those same agencies utilize in support of big-business, big-government, big-spending politicians, when many Americans have been given more choices than simply choosing (once again... and again... and again... and again...) the "lesser of two evils"? Must it always be this way?
