About a month left until the BIG Election. Can't wait. I am so tired of hearing what bad people the Candidates are. Not just Presidential Candidates, but Candidates for positions at the lowest levels of Government. The guy running for Animal Control Officer was just accused of showing favoritism toward cats! I can only assume that to be a blatant attempt to garner favor with them cat voters.
Seriously, is the voting public stupid enough to take these attack adds serious? If so, how could you chose to vote for anyone. Each candidate has been painted as a reprehensible politician, even more damaging, a slug of a human being. After all, who would dare mess with Social Security, Medicare/ Medicade, Higher Taxes for anyone let alone the working stiff. Who really is to blame for the Trillions and Trillions of dollars of debt? Each and every person who still subscribes to business as usual at any Government level.
Our Government system has outgrown its usefulness. Our system has become bloated with self important politicians that have no more concern for the public welfare than they do for animals being run over on the highway. It is a shame about the animals, but at least I'm OK. Term limits would be a good starting point. Once in office it would be less necessary to be a conformist to party or contributor wishes. One could simply work for the benefit of his constituants. What a novel idea!!!! Government for the people by the people. Holy crap, maybe our forefathers had a good idea.
Next, campaigning all term should not be tolerated. I for one are not interested in paying my elected officials to campaign or solicit funds for re-election during their term. I could see giving a month to get your message out just prior to election day. Think of the money that would save taxpayers. Yea yea yea, those of you that think taxpayers aren't footing campaign bills need to wake up. Any politician worth his salt knows how to disguise personal agendas as beneficial to his people and gladly use taxpayer money. After all, He/she is acting purely for your benefit!!!
