Tim Davis Daily Columnist Money makes the world go 'round. Nothing is a more fitting example of this rather sad financial fact than the American political machine. As we creep towards Election Day, I truly believe the American people have been dehumanized by the entire electoral process.
Human beings become voters.
Words like demographics, deficit reductions and quotas evolve into abstract political concepts that are to be analyzed, manipulated and disseminated to a public that feels increasingly impotent in its ability to affect change in their own country. This election has proven that very few politicians consider it their duty to serve the public, but that the public exists as a vehicle through which the powerful may continue to manipulate and control their environment. Dole's almost laughable ability to flip-flop on any issue proves that he is not in this race to serve the American people. The man has yet to even read his party's platform. If he did, he'd realize his own personal ideology is at odds with several aspects of the platform.
