The Sad Story Of Voting

Voting and the ad campaigns that surround the act are becoming more and more about selling a candidate instead of a candidate working for the country. Madison Avenue is the source of all voter issues and stances. sell just what the people want to hear, not what is most important to them.

People! Stop listening to the media! They too are part of the process that tells you who to vote for, who is the best, who is the leader, etc. They are telling you who THEY want to be the candidates. So you want examples, OK! Clinton, she is a big money candidate and the media is basing her electability by money. With the Dems, Kucinich seems to be offering mthe people sustantial policies, that takes many of their concerns to heart. But the media has deemed him 2nd tier and his message does not get out as it should. IMO, he is still part of the system that needs repair, but at least there arre parts that I can support.

With both parties the top tier candidates are just offering bovine fecal matter, that with a little luck may trickle down to the people, but the major concern is to keep the wealthy, just that wealthy. Hopefully, you realize that trickle down economics, did not trickle down and any other attempt to trickle anything down to the workers will be just as ineffective.

People! People! Stop listening to the media and Madison Ave., research the candidates and choose the person who will best serve the people of this country, not the special interests.

I regret that this appeal to the people will most likely fall on deaf ears, for minds are already made up on who to vote for--How sad!

Democrats Last Chance

Yesterday's vote on the bill that would set a limit on the time between deployments may have been the last chance for the Democrats to influence the Iraq War strategy. The vote was 56-44 and the bill was defeated because of the lack of a 60 vote majority. All dems voted for the bill and 43 repubs voted against it along with 1 independent and guess who that was.

This may well have been the last opportunity that the Dems will have before the election. And then they will only be able to pray that they can gain a little more party people in the Congress.

The big story is the defeat of the bill. Why does not someone tell the rest of the story, the troops are the ones that will suffer and there is the point that should be attacked by the Dems. These asses miss opportunity after opportunity to gain public support by not highlighting the lack of concern of the Repubs for the troops. Instead they whine and find excuses for their lack of success. CRAP! Admit that the Repubs beat you at the game and find new ways to attack their positions. The Dems will never get anything accomplished as long as they sit around licking their wounds and whining about the other side.

It will be telling if these losers are serious about their positions, if they let this chance slip through their fingers, then they are in this for the game not what is best for the people.
