Someway, Somehow


Some day we may realize that the intelligence of our political leaders is sorely lacking in common sense. These folks spend our tax dollars on laborious solutions to simple problems and issuing sound bites that serve only to enhance their profiles in the media. While some legislators (possibly) genuinely want to do the job they were elected to do and the rest just want to stay in office and cash in. We have Governors whose are slapping their constituents around because the other party gets more votes from that segment ( I wonder why?). This has nothing to do with doing the job at hand. Another Governor raised sales taxes and is looking to cut educational spending by consolidating school districts (down to 135) while the other option is simply to make each county (101 of them) a school district. It does not take a rocket scientist to correct problems if the politicians stop looking to enhance their legacy and strengthen their voting base. These people have been elected
to manage the states they live in and have failed time and time again while we the voters have believed them to be honest (shame on us). The remarkable thing is that they use our fears and biases to distract us while mouthing honesty and truth, for example: Birth Place and religion. I personally believe there should be open season on all elected officials in the voting booth. The American voters have endured enough and we should be smart enough to see through the smoke and mirrors of politics.

The Real Reason


With the 2012 elections coming up, the birthers,tea parties and other fractional groups are gearing up to influence elections. These efforts are fueled by the Dupublicans (and Wealthy financiers) who so desperately want the Presidency. The Dupublicans have spent more time trashing proposed legislature than assisting in making something that works. Every Dupublican currently serving seem to be jockeying for headlines that serve to infuriate the silent majority but having no relevant merit overall. The current majority party in Congress gives the impression that their agenda is public oriented as long as it can produce votes and support for themselves. The voters in America have been bamboozled and fooled for years but some of us still cannot see the forest for the trees while refusing to move out of the shadow of innuendo and half truths. The American public can be likened to a stringed instrument that sings when plucked. The electorate has figured out which tunes to play to get the results they want and we as a country are the worse for it. It is pretty obvious that America has not fully left racism and bias behind as these have been thinly veiled references in many outbursts against the current government. If we (voters) would look carefully at who we elect then we will realize that we are being handled daily while the same old beat goes on. These aspiring and sitting politicians have one agenda and that is remain in office for as long as possible while generating wealth for themselves and their associates. When we (voters) start to ignore the incessant noise of sound bites and snippets we will have made serious progress towards controlling the government.
