In a presidential campaign, a lot of things are said that could be considered ugly and untrue. There are a lot of opportunities for each candidate to set a lot of things right. There are a lot of opportunities for a less than honest candidate to set down exactly what they want voters to think about their opponent. The ugly stuff that can and does find its way into campaigns is not unlike watching the making of sausage in that many people really do not want to see it.
One of the candidates does talk about the record he has had over the last several decades and the things he has done. The other contender can not run on his record and tries to get people to think he is ready to go to work, now, although he has been in charge for the last four years. This campaign has been a back and forth of responses and the blaming of others.
One of them has signed the front of paychecks, before, and the other has not. One has a record of actual change and building companies and economies. The other one has not done so and is, interestingly, uninterested in doing so. This is based on statements he has made, in previous campaigns, about how some companies must go bankrupt in order to get the economy back.
The big things are what presidential campaigns should be about. The United States has a large impact, financially, on the entire world. The economy is the largest and is traded in by all other countries. A Presidential candidate should know these influences we have and do no harm in these areas. This current campaign has a clear choice between who does and who does not know this.
A lot of the past campaigns have been very dirty and nasty. This campaign is similar and unlike all others that have come before. Talking about small issues with extremely small constituencies is different than talking about the major issues of the day. Social Security, the debt, Medicare and Medicaid should be talked about as they threaten to destroy our economy.
The individual records of the two contestants in this race that happens every fours years should be a subject of discussion. Often they are not and this election is no different. Every person that is elected to the highest office in the land has different things they bring. One of these, today, brings value and the other can not talk about what he already brought
The presidential campaign race can be saved by instituting a few simple changes. A more realistic fact finding effort by journalists would help. A lot more debates without all of the biased moderators would also present a solid source of straight from the mouth discussions between the two contestants. Extending the truth in advertising laws to electioneering efforts would be too much to ask.
The presidential campaign of 2012 will go down in history as one of the nastiest ever. One candidate has repeatedly called the other a murderer. The other contender for the office can not address the comments made by his opponent because he will automatically be called a racist. Until we have a major overhaul in United States politics, we are going to be faced with this problem.
