People are hearing the same old rhetoric about jobs and the economy. With so many independent voters, it’s hard to imagine the election of a social Democrat or social Republican as governor, or to Congress.

Both parties are dinosaurs and responsible for the current status.

Both problems are national and require people willing to join with others across the country to get the nation out of NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA, the global economy and other such foolishness and attempt to reverse the giant trade deficit and exportation of industrial jobs.

A real economy includes a reasonable level of consumer goods production. An economy can’t function long-term with health and education as the principal industries.

People should do themselves a favor and vote for a third party candidate or write-in. The only wasted vote is for someone you’d really rather not see in office.
