Are you bored Ralph? Did you feel left out? Was nobody paying enough attention to you? Seriously… WHAT are you thinking?
He says most Americans are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties, and that none of the presidential contenders are addressing ways to stem corporate crime and Pentagon waste and promote labor rights.
Really? Does the voter turn out in the primaries this year really say disenfranchisement to you?

From the Center for Politics
The combined total of more than 525,000 primary votes cast this year in New Hampshire was roughly one-third higher than the state’s previous record.
Already turnout records (measured here in terms of actual votes cast) have been smashed in Iowa and New Hampshire, most spectacularly by the Democrats but also by the Republicans as well. And it is likely that the all-time high for a primary season of 35 million votes cast, set back in 1988, will be surpassed this year by millions and millions of votes.
Yeahp… we are clearly feeling shut out.
On a side note… since when is Hillary not for 100% of the population needing health insurance? Has he been sleeping through the campaigns?
