In this season of political posturing it seems we (The American Voter) are subjected to sound bites without substance by both parties. This even though poll after poll indicates that the vast majority of the population is disgusted with the lack of substance being spewed forth by both parties. The Democrats Candidate wants to: Raise taxes, somehow force Americans to conserve, limit or eliminate our quality of life in order to please the left wing and the European Socialist”s model of communistic redistribution of wealth.
The Republican Party, has it”s faults as well. The Housing Crisis solutions are all based on bail outs for the very financial institutions that created the crisis.
Neither Party seems to give one damn about what is really right for the citizens who blindly vote them into office based on misleading sound bites. It is time that We, the Citizens of the United States say: ” Wait just one GD Minute!” But, then how can we do that? The parties keep promising ” Pie in the Sky”, something for everyone, tax the rich, universal health care, keep corporations profitable, give tax breaks to special interests, the list goes on and on and on.
What would happen if all across the nation citizens who are fed up with the political parties games were to suddenly yank the carpet out from under their feet? Think what would happen if in the next three months all of us who have registered to vote either as a Democrat or a Republican were to change our registration to ” Independent”! Overnight, we yank the real power of the parties out from under their feet.
Money and Special Interests can only go so far if their aren”t voters to translate those special interest into tangible elected stooges who ” cow tow” to their bribes and enticements . Each voter can still vote for whom they chose, but the political parties would have to revise their thinking. With no base to count on they would have to listen to what , we the voters want.
The sad part is that it probably won”t happen. It would take you the voter having to actually do something ( Re-Register Independent) !
So, go on and moan how government fails you, just go long like the sheep you are.
