They are all just lying bastards! Just what is the difference anymore, really? There are all just loud mouth wolves in sheep's clothing, trying to sell themselves! What the "Old Democrats" once stood for, I agreed with. But I think that ended somewhere in the 50's. What the Republican's platforms became then, I agreed with. But now, I don't really agree with either of the parties. Maybe one, straggler here and there! No wonder so many have been switching party affiliations! They seem to be about as confused as I am. Now we have decided that there will be no limits on political contributions? {not that there REALLY was} Are you kidding me!? So now, who's got the most money? Who wants to buy an office? How much money have you got? Who can advertise the most, hire the best "Spin Doctors" and sway and scare the poor public!? Why does someone want to spend millions of dollars to get elected to an office that pays them, maybe a couple of hundred thousand dollars?! Come on people, it's just not that hard to figure out?! If I had those millions to start with, you couldn't pay me enough to be in the Congress, the Senate or anything else! I'd be kicked back somewhere getting fatter, older, fishing more and collecting off my interest and investments! Now don't start that crap about "wanting to give something back" to me! That dog just won't hunt! The bastards are after only one thing, you know it and I know it! The party system has at best, become no more that a high school ball game! "Us vs. Them" we are better than you, we can beat you! It's a "Cheer Leading" event! Nobody really gives a damn about what's going on to this country! It's all been dumb ed down and simplified to us and all that matters is "my man won"! And of course the candidate, and the people that think they are going to "get something" whether it's health care reform, welfare, lower taxes, entitlements, a social security cost of living raise or whatever, your still just "selling" your vote! IF ... you vote that is! We have all become divided. It's all supposed to about be the "United States" that are "of the People"!! Cities make up counties and counties make up states and guess what, those states are supposed to be the United Sates! All that the party systems have done is split "the People" up and fragment our power. Ever hear of "conquer and divide"? We fight, argue more between ourselves, and ignore our focus on the money grubbing politicians. I hate politics! I've vented ! I'm stepping of the soap box now! I Didn't use any verbiage that wasn't biblical!
