Stephen Colbert: The Presidential Candidate of the Bonddad Blog

If ever anyone -- and I mean anyone -- could make me have hope in the current electoral situation, it is Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.  Unfortunately, Jon is not running.  However, Stephen is at least forming an exploratory committee.  There, I, Bonddad of the Bonddad Blog, do hereby formally announce my endorsement of Stephen Colbert for President of the United States of South Carolina.

Seriously -- if anyone can demonstrate how completely screwed up our current political fundraising system is, it's Colbert and Stewart.  And the clips below are gold -- they're funny, but they're not, but they are, but they're not.  These guys make the 24 hour news cycle bearable.  The clips below explain why.

Definitely agree on the mixed emotions I have about this. Funny, but at the same time you know why Romney is smirking whenever he says, "I can't coordinate with my SuperPAC because that would be illegal."

What a joke our democracy has become. SCOTUS should be absolutely ashamed of itself for the Citizens United decision.

Citizens United made things worse, but our political system was already corrupt.

Political ads on TV should be severely restricted, if not outright banned, and the number of months for campaigning should be shortened (four years of non-stop campaigning is mind-numbing!).

At this point, I'd vote for Colbert simply as a protest vote; but I also suspect he would make a better president than most of the others, too (he's certainly smarter than a lot of them).

I'd love to see a Stewart/Colbert ticket. And I would love it even more if they actually won. And I bet it could happen. And I bet it wouldn't turn out badly for the USA.
