  • What was said is true, but what's his point? Not to be mean, but who cares what this one individual thinks? The way to make his views relevant would have been to tie them in with one of the candidates to show how there is someone out there fighting to correct those problems. Otherwise, I have a lot of views too, but just to discuss them ...???

  • So you'd rather not see his views expressed at all? Do our opinions not count if there's not a candidate out there with the same position? How many candidates were advocating for civil rights before it became a groundswell movement? Look at history and you'll find that often the people lead with their opinions and then the politicians follow.

  • I'll say again ... the way to make his views relevant at this time in history when the attention of the world, not only this country

    (U.S.)is riveted on who would be the best president ... is to go further than what he thinks and tell the world ... in his opinion, who offers the best solutions. I didn't say, he shouldn't voice his views, just make them more relevant at this time.

  • Lets see... he talks about how pharmaceutical companies have a stranglehold on our government, which echos exactly what the two Democratic candidates are saying. You don't see any connection between him being upset over lobbyists being able to bend Congress to their bidding and John McCain's cozy relationships with lobbyists? Sounds relevant to what's going on in this race. You want him to tell you who to vote for? This is what the legacy media does everyday. If you hate X vote for Y.

  • there is no one out there trying to fix the problems you speak of. They all play the same game. Sad but true.

  • And I live in a democracy ... where I can voice my opinion. I said that what the gentleman said in the interview was true. However most of us are aware of these problems. The democratic candidates have also talked about them, and since he mentioned these problems AND the candidates it just seemed to me he would have an opinion of who he thought had offered the best solutions. That would have made his comments more relevant. That's MY opinion. The last time I looked, I was allowed to have one.
