Did you ever wonder why so few average folk ever run for office. Well here it is in a nutshell. In Florida and I don't know about other locations, where a person registering to run for office needs $10,000 just to get registered. Now one person paid it with their own money and was proud to say she isn't beholding to anyone. Yet the incumbent Republican, well what can we say. Lets go down the list of her supporters. Have you checked yours local representative out lately? Rhetorically, yes and you want change, what a laugh.
Here are a few who gave to her campaign. Oh, gee I'm surprised, the amounts are in the thousands.
1- American Health Care Association.
2- American Bankers Association.
3- Associate Builders and Contractors.
4- Insurance companies.
5- Sugar manufacturers.
6- A number of wealthy types.
Get the drift? Can we, or need we say anymore? How about when a close call has to be made?You form your own conclusion as to possibly where her loyalties might be? One ventures to say it is just not her but every single incumbent who is running for office. Money talks nobody walks, that is if you have good financial backers. Yes and Americans Wonder Why.
Yes, just how many times must it be said before it sinks in? Well by the numbers of readers of my articles lately and in my opinion we know how many on this site alone will most likely vote for these same types. Multiply that by any number and that is the 50% I speak about. Yes and in my opinion that is considerable when one reads the responses to some of the other articles.
As for the office of President what choice is there, really? The again Congress, well outside of a few new comers it will be identical in makeup and in what it does, fact. You can write, talk, wonder, debate, but the bottom line is NOTHING IN MY OPINION WILL CHANGE. No, NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO. No disrespect intended but the proof of that is right there in their works and what you who approve of them do. Just another sign and symbol.
Ok, I'll admit I get right down to the bottom line and some get offended by truth, but then again isn't that why we are as a nation in the shape we are in? Do you think we are in good shape, really? Was there anyone else in office that we can blame? Oh, it was all Bush, I got you. No one else, he did it all. Hey if he can do all that his way then maybe he ought to get elected again? He at least evidently can lead.
So all kidding aside and that is one sorry joke, who allowed it to take place, did it, caused it, Santa? What is that I'm saying, well hello, people just don't care, that is that. They don't care to hear it and they don't care to change it, but boy they do whine a lot. Me I whine about how they can accept it and still profess anything. Rhetorically, its simple to me if you like a thief you must like or condone what they do?
Now on that note I do hope I am wrong, yet I don't expect to be. No not ego my friends just the signs and symbols as I just stated which are all about. What is done in thought, word and deed. So I will sit back and read all the pundits, articles, complaints and banter about this election as if it really is so exciting and people will do nothing and watch the outcome as it unfolds. Yes, hanging breathlessly to see how change is going to take place. Yes and as for the candidates just who will be their running mate and who will get elected and make this historic change.
Give me a break, one of the same crowd my friends. Ok, you need a face and a name. Does it matter? They all are alike. Maybe Hillary, how about Joe Biden of Delaware, Lieberman, maybe? Now theres one for you all to ponder. That should stir up an article or two?
Ok, it makes good reading. I'll give you that and many of you get excited. Oh yes and don't forget how we started this article, no average folk in that bunch, really, can't afford it and well, they are not Credit Worthy and Low life's you know. Irresponsible types, how dare they try to run. After all Congress is a place for honorable people, right, believers, professors?
So, how about you, who do you think it will be that gets elected? Who are you hoping for, perhaps even praying for, God help us? As for me why are we wasting time? I'm all for getting right to it. Heads McCain, tales Obama. Like I said, does it really matter and if you think so, well what can anyone really say? Certainly you think there is a real difference.
Oh and yes, things are getting better, really. Fuel prices going down, home market improving, Foreclosure bill in place, yes exciting isn't it? Just read the paper, they will give you real good news just before the election. Yes it seems I said something about this a few months ago? Oh well, have you forgotten elections are right around the corner? Only one thing left to say, moo. Why because they think we fit the profile.
