Each day I read an opinion from someone who either assails on the President, Congress or one of the major parties. This is all honorable and better than silence but what happens in the voting booth? If only one quarter of the eligible voters would vote outside of political party lines, ignore the innuendos, sound bites and other semi truths we could end up with better quality representatives. Each of us would love to see our own ideal representative in office but it just won’t happen. These office seekers are human beings as we all are and are capable of the same failings. Keeping this in mind while trying to glean some truth from the seemingly endless assault from the seekers on the airwaves, on yard signs and posters is difficult at best when it is time to actually vote . The only thing we have to remember is that if an office holder exceeds more than two terms and we allow it, then we are at fault. The longevity of an office holder term is a gateway to failures and mistakes that have long range effects. We can talk about what this party does or does not do compared to another until the election arrives and after but that is why we are deluged with the media ads and in your face signs. This is the smoke and mirrors of politics.
