POLLOCRACY or DEMOCRACY ?
MARCH 1, 2007
DURING ELECTIONS, IF POLL NUMBERS PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS , ie allowing poll numbers to become self-fulfilling prophecies, THEN WE MUST SAY THAT WHAT WE REALLY HAVE IS ....................POLLOCRACY , and not DEMOCRACY.
DEMOCRACY is where VOTES matter on Election day , not the Opinions collected by Pollsters or POLLOCRATS..........who want to influence the outcome of elections by declaring one candidate ahead of another ......thus creating an unlevel playing field.
This Pollocracy, plus the FUNDRAISINGS for CAMPAIGNS are the 2 major influences and are actually running the political show, before people have a chance to think about issues .
In the old days , there was a saying THERE IS NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW- BUSINESS,
Nowadays, I feel confident in qualifying it :
THERE IS NO BUSINESS LIKE POLITICAL SHOW BUSINESS !!!
