    i told you so.....

    i told you that this affirmative action president would be a hard left disaster.....some said no, wait, circumstance will mitigate the damage....right....now we must all look in the mirror and conduct "a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves...." own our apathy, complacency, arrogance and adolescence.....how has this nation elected a man who generally holds it in disdain, it's history, constitution, military, values and traditions.....how have we serially elected leaders that have bought and sold our votes and bankrupted our future and the future of those who will follow us....now what do we do....

    first we own up to our lack of fidelity....
    second we diagnose the problem....
    third we formulate a plan, goals and objectives....
    fourth we engage....

    Step 1 will be the most difficult.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    It goes to show how easily influenced the voting populace in general is.

    They vote based on packaging and labeling, not content.

    Yeah, people get too carried away with the brand name. I asked people a few days ago if they were committed as they appear to be considering all the partisan online and only two responded in the affirmative. What happens next? Same BS. They go right back to it.

    It will be (and has been) interesting to see BO's tactics now that he's in campaign mode. He avoided hot button issues like the plague a few months earlier and he's in that preacher mode.

    Campaigning is his strong point and he returned to it like a redneck to a trailer.

    Our system is partly to blame. Our pols always seem to be campaigning.

    I don't know if it's the system so much - I think you mean the two party system. I have other issues with it, but as far as the regular joe understanding political issues and making an educated vote instead of voting out of emotion, that's a fundamental flaw.

    My theory has always been the fat and lazy effect. We as a society have become far too fat and lazy to give a $#@!. Consistent low voter turnout is a great example. "Swing" voters are another.

    There's a lot to be said about having to fight for your freedom and having it defended for you by someone else.

    What I mean is that they are career politicians. Ultimately, what matters is reelection not doing what he/she thinks is right.

    This is a fascinating conundrum.

    On one hand I'll rail about there being a need for term limits, transparency, limited benefits for elected legislation, stuff like that.

    On the other hand, and especially with POTUS, you see a lot of short-term strategies. GW did it with Medicare (the drug option), it was executed for his reelection. A lot of decisions are made based on how close a POTUS is to reelection and how popular that strategy is.

    True. I'm sure it goes right down to the local level too. When reelection is close no one wants to take a stand on principles. I almost resent them when they do because it's sometimes because they are know they won't be reelected or they are leaving politics. Why didn't they do it before?
