Leroy's Rant

Day 604, 15:10 • Published in USA USA • by Leroy Combs

I want to say right up front this is just the rant of an old player who has done the political thing and found a better use of my time. I'm not speaking for the military or the administration. I'm not here to single anyone out but to make some observations(and you probably know I'm not much of a writer).

I've not taken part in the whole primary system debate and I'm sorry I didn't. Our country is in dire trouble right now and one of our best remaining weapons that could save us and create a dominant country is being taken away by the party over country BS. Yes party's can be important but the can also be the death of our country. Hungary has over 1,300 mobile voters, I had at most 125 while I was CIA director, it is no coincidence that Hungary now runs between 4 and 5 country's all working against us and we have no country's we can control (I'm not saying I want to control other country's) we have no Austria to sign MMP's of death for other country's.

The one thing the US has is size, and most of the resources we need to be a dominant world power. Do you know what is holding us back more then anything else? The petty party politics we practice for nothing more then ego's. I hope it isn't' to late to fix this but I'm not hopeful, unless we can get a candidate slate and over a 1,000 mobile voters to help our neighbors and take back country's that want no part of PEACE but are trapped by TO or the threat of TO we may be doomed.

As I see it the primary system will help by providing:

fully vetted active candidates
candidate selected by the most active players in our country
the ability for the U.S. to maximize it's ability to influence the world
that the bulk of the election process will be moved to the forums where some of the more active/experienced players participate

Disadvantages of a primary system:

May keep younger players from the ballot
depending on how the candidates are selected my stifle so legitimate debate

Party's must put aside their ego's and do what is right for the U.S. and they must to it now!
