The current crop of candidates for the 2008 presidential election

Something appears to be fundamentally wrong with the current slate of presidential candidates regardless of party. For a while I thought it was only me, but when I began to ask simple people (rather than party affictionados), I began to get that I am not alone. None of these dudes seem to be a leader that anybody wants. Most are perceived as people who lie through their teeth and altogether are not trustworthy. Somebody even related to me that they make GW Bush look good in comparison.

This is bad - there is a gap between the leading oligarchy who seems to consider the people to be stupid and the people themselves who are all but stupid. Real people have different concerns then the oligarchy. They are troubled by the economics being suffocated by high taxes paid only by real people (not the oligarchy.) this suffocation causes the high prices of labour here and the migration of jobs elsewhere. But the migration of jobs mean actually migration of manufacturing jobs, which means that we are not a producing society anymore. We became a society of parazites and soon enough we will (as all societies who do nt produce) become a weakling that would be perceived as a easy target for being conquered and enslaved.

Real people do not have the resources (and power) to compete against the oligarchy in open election. And the oligarchy, leaving in simbyosis with the big corporations, would rather continue the status quo, in which manufacturing is exported to countries with lower wages and less boundaries on both human rights abuse, quality control, environment and taxes (on their own profits) while charging exorbitant amount of taxes here.

We need a new leadership but where would it come from?
