Money is the root of all...elections

It seems as though the media and the candidates care more about how much money the candidates are raising rather than what the candidates are saying. This is nothing new, but it is starting to get tiresome.

It is my humble opinion that the election season(s) are way too long (it no longer encompasses one season, but many). This election season(s) started so long ago that people are already tired of all of the candidates. I know I am. That's why I think that it is a great idea on Fred Thompson's part to hold out as long as he can before he officially joins the race. It is the current lack of media coverage that I think will eventually help him in the long run.

I am a big proponent of election reform and term limits because I believe that government has itself become its own entity rather than being an extension of the people. At this point the government exists for its own purpose rather than the purpose of the people.
