Aren’t we all tired of ongoing and seemingly never ending media farming and   political rhetoric coming out of Washington? Since the advent of internet, tweets, face book and other electronic media the politicians have assailed us with “their side” of things. During all of the media deluge, where are the results of their so called work in the legislature? These folks can readily appear on TV, radio and give interviews but they cannot seem to do what they are paid to do. They all have staffers who are supposed to do the “grunt” work but it appears that these staffers have an agenda of their own and not necessarily in the public interest. Many of the legislative work is done by staffers so the legislator can get a synopsis of the bill to vote for not, offer changes or other pertinent information. These dilutions result in flawed legislature that “bites” the citizens in the butt. We already have the likes of Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove (by the way the spelling is Teutonic), Ann Coulter and Mr. Krauthammer  proselytizing the downside of the current administration but every administration has a downside (even Lincoln’s ). Our job is to take an overview of all of the media output and dismiss half, filter a quarter and make a  judgement on the last quarter. This will give you a starting point to be an informed voter. It is the purpose of all of these pundits to sway us to their cause but didn’t Jim Jones and Charles Manson do the same?
