    It's amazing how much money is spent to be the President...

    And that is just through August. September won't be reported for another week.

    The cynical me thinks that the media is not biased liberally nor conservatively...it is biased to the party that spends the most money with them. They must make a mint off these elections. I wonder if that is why you never see the other candidates even get interviewed let alone reported on.

    Things that make me go hmmmmm.

    without doubt there is a problem with a system where a person spends millions to get a job that pays 400,000 :)

    This is going to be the first billion dollar election. That is indeed insane.

    Hey Stu, I think you've got a typo in that first sentence...

    Instead of "It's amazing how much money is spent to be the President"

    Shouldn't it be
    "It's amazing how much money is spent to buy the President"

    :D



    And, yea I think the media is very biased. They're all people after all, with their own feelings and leanings. It's easier to see the bias when you're not overly invested into either candidate.
