WHY YOU SHOULDN'T WATCH THE CONVENTIONS ON TV When you watched 'It's a wonderful life" didn't you find yourself believing in angels just a little? Watch enough of those over-inflated BS specialists known as politicians and you may just start believing some of their fairy tales. The truth is - and you know it if you just stop to think about it - the only ones they care about and will do anything for, is the one they see in the mirror every morning. We know they have souls because they sell them to get elected. After they are elected they will work their butts off, preparing (stashing away cash and favors) to get re-elected. Your favorite party, Democrat or Republican will lie to you equally so don't feel left out just because you think the other party is dealing out more BS. Can we do anything to stop this? Sure, dress up like an Indian and throw some tea in the harbor. It worked for some other guys that felt government was not giving them a fair shake. Am I talking revolt? You bet. Tell me another way to stop this. They make the rules (laws) and they aren't about to let you mess with it. You want fairness in government you are going to have to kick a little butt. No one is going to give a gold mine away. November 4th DON'T VOTE! Nothing will send the message like not playing the game. You lose no matter which liar gets elected so don't be part of the problem. Remember - THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO LET YOU VOTE ON ANYTHING THAT MATTERS. That's why they set up a representative government. You don't decide jack, you vote on a ballot that they construct for people they chose. A real ballot would have hundreds of choices. A real election would not have one paid advertisement allowed (this would eliminate the need to have millions to run). It would just be a fact sheet showing what the candidate has voted for and against in the past (if he or she has been in public service) and what they say they will do if elected - in writing. If they fail to perform these promises they would be fired like any employee should be if the job isn't performed. Impossible you say? Tell that to those guys in the Indian outfits. ...more
