If I said most politicians were idiots would that be wrong? If not, then I think most politicians are idiots.
MB, I disagree on the point of not voting. IMO there is never a reason to not voting, there is always a choice, may not always be our favorite choice, but still a choice and even though we like neither candidates there are platforms, issues, fundamentals that each side represents...
I always remember our ancestors gave their blood and many their lives just to give us the right to vote at all, for me, to not vote dishonors their sacrifices...Just my opinion....
Please remember no political bashing of either party or candidate.... (politics)
You people are funny.... You actually think your vote matters. It's all decided long before it goes to the voting booths.
However I do still vote just to make myself feel like I spoke up and voted for the person that I think should be in office.
I think a better percentage of voters are beginning to believe this but it's human nature to ignore the obvious. It's kinda like some guy wanting to paint the Titanic while it was sinking. But for those of us who are enlightened, you're correct. But as you probably know, most people don't receive the truth well at all. So we play along with them and watch the poor sucker paint.
Well you could always move to a country where you can't vote and remove all doubt.
Here is my 2 cents. (No, they're not wheaties) For what it's worth, I will vote. I just feel, in my humble opinion, that this nation of around 300 million people, should have more choices than just the main two parties. I have views that concur with both parties, but when my view differs from one party or the other, it's not a small difference, it's usually a BIG difference. If I vote for one party that means I am voting against other issues I agree with. I truly believe that our country needs to seriously consider 3,4, or even 5 main political parties. Then we would truly have a choice and a voice in how this country will run. But with the Dems and Reps being our only two choices...well...we get what we get. (Just my opinion)
The more choices the more difficult to control the desired outcome. We need to see people jump party ship and start thinking more about the facts such as past voting records, real issues, ethics, and general consistency. It cracks me up how most politicians never answer questions and the media just lets them slip by. And the people say: "Now that was a great speech!" I'd like to see a television presentation where each candidate is asked specific questions and if he or she tries the old "snow job" a loud horn would blast and they'd be cut off. At the end of the show the score would be read to the public. For the losers we'd hear: This candidate has no agenda or comprehension of the desired office.

I like your post, Jeff, but I fear it's crossing the line and becoming political. But then what would I know being the classic "old fart" who drinks too much and chases wild women.
Political ? not really.
