Out Of Control
The rules of politics are changing. And not in a good way.
Years past, I truly believe we here in America did a pretty good job of keeping our "shit" at home. We had our internal differences but showed the world a united front.
Those days are long gone. First we had Pelosi running around the Middle East fiddlin' in affairs that, quite frankly she has no business in. It's NOT a part of her job description, I don't care how you twist it.
Now, we've got a Congressional Representative, who also happens to be running for President, cavorting with our enemy. AND bad mouthing our country.
What on earth could he HONESTLY believe that would help? He SAYS he loves this country. He SAYS he's trying to change the world's view of us.
What he actually accomplished, IMHO, was to screw up the soup. Too many cooks and all that. He is NOT in any position to be speaking for this country. He was voted into office by the citizens of his district in Ohio. To speak for THEM in CONGRESS. That's it. Period. End of discussion.
Here's what *I'd* like to see happen. People do the jobs they were hired for. If they were voted into Congress, then spend time in their districts. Talk to and more importantly LISTEN TO the folks that gave them the job. Then do all they can to make that happen.
I'm sick of the grand standing, power plays. At the risk of sounding like some damned hippy - Power to the People. We're letting these jackals get away with this behavior. We're allowing this situation to get completely out of control.
I for one am done with this. I'm taking a page out of Mama Vi's book. I'm going to be writing letters. And making phone calls. I'm going to be campaigning for those people I truly believe will work for the BEST in this country. And has the guts to stand up to the ones who are only looking out for themselves.
What about you? Are you content to just sit back and complain or are you willing to stand up and try to make a difference?

I am almost to the point of making phone calls.
I just need to write down what I want to say so I don't get too upset.
"The United States must take steps to repair the damage that has been done to the lives of the people of Iraq for the people who have lost their lives"
Any wonder why this guy isn't one of the top contenders for the presidential nomination?
And to mention we should be paying reparations to the Iraq's is assinine. But you know where this is going to lead, just wait a couple months and there will be the beginning of lawsuits against the United States by Iraq's demanding payment for us being there.

Even if you were barefoot, wore a beaded vest, smelled like B.O., and carried a six foot bong - I don't thnk you could pass for a "hippy" twenty seconds into any conversation.
Keep up the fight
PS - Do you know what the DeadHead said when he ran out of drugs --- "This music sucks!"
