How do you run an election and not get Palin/McCain'd???? The only plus they'll have for 2016 is running against Hillary, who I will never support or vote for, that's the only way I can see them winning. Here's why....they have to please stupid conservatives for votes. I mean, how do you run an nationwide campaign that encompasses everyone...all the while constantly having to keep the nut farm happy? I've yet to see it done!!
What difference does it make, really? As usual, stupid voters are going to elect a professional politician to be our next president. And, since neither party is pro-America, what real difference does it make whether a Republican or a Democrat wins the oval office. What has either party done for us over the past 50 plus years? Yet, stupid voters will once again run to the polls, elect another professional politician to sit in the oval office, then spend the next four years complaining. Voters never learn. They do the exact same thing election after election, and expect a different result. Go figure.
It really makes me laugh to read and hear voters argue over which party is better, which party will make everything right, and which party will actually serve this nation and all Americans in a pro-America manner. Obviously, there're a lot of voters that don't have a clue as to what has been taking place over the past 50 plus years. They don't understand and realize that both parties, through many administrations, have sold us out, and created what we're seeing and experiencing today.
Once elected to office, professional politicians exert their will, and not the will of the people. Professional politicians are bought and paid for. We have a Lobbyists controlled U.S. Congress, and an oval office greatly influenced by the wealthy, the powerful, and the influential. By the time professional politicians take office, they owe many favors. And, as soon as they're seated, they return those favors. The wealthy, the powerful, and the influential place the names on the ballots, and we choose from those they have selected. We have surrendered our power, and now it belongs to those wealthy and powerful enough to purchase it. "The Washington Brotherhood" is an entity unto itself, answerable to no one except itself.
Professional politicians love to hear us argue and take sides. They know that as long as we're divided, they win, we lose. Their worst fear is a united citizenry. A united citizenry will ensure that the power is returned to the people, and will remain with the people as long as we're united. So, go ahead and argue until election day 2016, then watch what happens for the next four years. By taking sides and arguing whether Democrats or Republicans are better, you're playing right into the hands of those hell-bent on our further destruction.
Think about this: Over the past 50 plus years, we've engaged in senseless deadly costly wars ( Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan ), we've closed our plants and factories in favor of strengthening foreign economies, we've created a poor and dependent citizenry, we've amassed astronomical debt that many generations of Americans will be paying for, we've lost the right to privacy, we have the largest prison population in the world, the rich have gotten richer, and the poor have gotten poorer, we have a system of injustice instead of one of real justice, college degrees are basically worthless, we have taxation without representation, our infrastructure is in bad need of repairs and upgrades, we have fewer home owners, cities are going bankrupt, pension funds are in trouble, jobs are now part-time, temporary, and low-wage, half of our children are living in poverty, we have the largest defense budget in the world, yet we send our soldiers to fight and die with little more than soldiers had in both world wars, we've lost the fear and respect from our allies, we have Vets that can't get timely medical care, we have entire families homeless and living on the streets, our elderly have to choose between buying food and buying medicine, and our young adults have a very troubling and uncertain future ahead of them.
If you want to aid and abet the ones responsible for our socioeconomic decline, then go ahead and vote more professional politicians to serve in government. But, if you do, you have no one to blame for our downward spiral except yourself. And, by doing so, you'll hurt all of us, and future generations of Americans.
