Politicians are PARKED
I’ve held off talking about this topic because anything “political” can become a pretty divisive issue in the “hands of the wrong mind”. Given that, I can no longer stand by and listen when so much stupidity surrounds me, i.e. politics, politicians and how its all reported.
I’ll be blogging about it all, but to ease my way into this topic I’ll start with something easy. The recent democratic debate in which Obama and Edwards went after Clinton. The whole event looked more like the Democrats stole a page from the Republican play book because attack politics is what George W used to beat McCain and Kerry and look where that got us. Billions of dollars in debt, a war that we were tricked into, terrorists in every corner of the world, countries distancing themselves from us, NCLB not funded, no social security reform, roads and bridges not getting repaired, secrets, arrogance, disdain for all but the rich and powerful……..and the list goes on. OK, can you tell I didn’t vote for George W Bush or his father.
Anyway, what’s PARKED about the whole thing is how the democrats have said they talk about the issues and not the candidate. That they will take the high road. So Barack and John where was the discussion on the issues? Where was the SUBSTANCE? Where was the DEBATE? Quit attacking each other and talk about how your going to solve our real problems. Problems like the national debt, education, health-care and bringing our troops home from that quagmire in Iraq. I don’t want to hear you beat up on each other - the republicans will do that for you.
Yeah, it ticked me off because I like Clinton and I think Washington needs a real change. For me that’s a woman in charge and not the same “ole set of boys on the hill”. Clinton is smart, and capable. So let’s stick to the issues because I’m going to vote on substance not spin!
