In considering the past 10 years of elections and campaigning, I have come to understand that the individual citizen of voting age is for the most part grossly under informed. The Scamocrats and Dupublicans have fallen into the ” sound bite” style of campaigning. The campaign managers are not much more than advertising executives. If we are willing to consider it, we have bought or considered many household products, cars, entertainment and even prospective mates due to advertising. Can we think about who and what has been put before us to sway our votes, can we think about the outright lies and innuendo presented as fact? If we can consider or think about any of this, then we have the ability to reason! To put a finer point on this, the political establishment has one objective and that is to stay in office, this desire is fueled by the tacit OK of the voters and the massive financial assistance from special interests. I am sure not enough people will actually read this or perhaps consider the long term effects our poor or ill considered past voting choices. Voting from the heart should only be 1% of our choices, the 99% should be the record of the people we are voting for and this record should not be in microcosm! I will often hold publication of a blog post for as long as I feel necessary to insure my message is clear but the political climate is so full of subject matter that I can hardly keep up. We as voters are beset on all sides by special interests, outpourings by the assorted political parties and factions who do not act in our best interests so “Caveat emptor” applies.
