Steven Colbert withdraws Presidential Bid

Steven Colbert has decided not to run for president of the United States following the refusal of the State of North Carolina to put him on the Democratic Ballot. The Democratic Party lobbied the State adamantly to refuse Mr. Colbert’s nomination on the ballot. Their reasoning, “We do not want to make a mockery of this sacred institution.” Aside from the fact that Mr. Colbert would have received a tremendous number of votes the reasoning indicated by the Democratic Party is absurd. Mr. Colbert cannot make a mockery of our political process, THE POLITICIANS HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT. Votes for Mr. Colbert would have indicated the disdain that US citizens have for our politicians. Considering that a recent CNN Poll indicated that 87% are angry about how our country is being governed it is highly probable that Mr. Colbert would have won the State.

Mr. Colbert’s decision to run was a ray of hope in the tempest that is America’s immediate future. New blood without ties to corporate America is our best chance at mitigating the total economic collapse the direct result of thirty years of the disastrous economic policy known as Reaganomics. Mr. Colbert, please consider running as an independent. The Democrats and Republicans are all the same. They are simply corrupt members of the “Good ole boys club.”

Obviously all the “Good ole boys” are saying that we must not change things. We need the dynasties. We must favor corporate greed and ask more sacrifices of our working citizens. We need open borders. We must eliminate quality and safety controls on products from other countries. It may have been ok to attempt this new economic plan but after 30 years it is time that we take account of our economy and the status of the United States. Only an outsider can do this.

Please, Mr. Colbert, run as an Independent. We need change and our current political system will only allow for this to come from someone who has name recognition for other reasons.
