Our new motto in this nation with regards to elections should be this, 'We the listless, having to choose from those left over, pick the least dispicable, perhaps!"
Obama claims to be for change, McCain recently sent me an e-mail that stated no matter how the election turned out we would get change. Duh! George Bush is going home, we knew that!
Aside from that what will change? Will ANYBODY left in Washington work to actully reduce the size of government? No. Will ANYBODY actually push to balance the budget? No. Will ANYBODY there believe that maybe people that run oil companies are better at it than the federal government? No. Will ANYBODY in DC think about giving states right back to them? No. Will ANYBODY in Congress honestly care about much of anything that does not lead to their own re-election? Maybe Ron Paul. Otherwise No!
Bottom line is as long as we have the same players , the game will not change and neither will the rules. And we "The People" keep supporting them in this lunacy.
So we get what we deserve as long as we are willing to accept the same ole , same ole.
Neither Republicans or Democrats REALLY truly care about the good of the country, they care about the good of themselves and promoting the party interest. What is good for the public is not neccessarily good for the political parties.
Going into a presidential election year with a good economy, bad for Democrats! Going into an election with a winning war strategy,bad for Democrats! Having a down turn in employment , bad for GOP! ( it is obviously Bush's fault). Oil companies showing record profits, bad for GOP! ( Bush/Cheney strikes again). And so it goes till we are so darned sick of it we believe that nothing we do will make any difference to congress.
Then on the horizon we see a third party candidate, and we think they are like anti -acid , and they are going to bring us relief from the in-fighting , gridlock , and side taking morons we so wisely elected before them! But they turn out to be Ross Perot, go figure.
So we are left with the choice of what ever is left on the table when the party are done with their picking through the best looking of the lot.
My question is simply this: Is there not somebody in this country would would rise up, work with in the bounds of the Constitution, do what is best for the country, stand against the special interest and dogooders, balance the budget ,protect our borders , bring our troops home (after we kill Osama),promote business, get government out of our lives, and then go back to work in the country they helped to fix?
Where is that person? Please stand up!
