Generally Speaking (Again)

And I thought the last election seemed to last forever...this one seems to have lasted longer and it's just starting. And look at our choices; a one term Senator with no practical experience , a non record in the Senate and a stated socialist agenda that promises to drive even more US companies overseas (whether east or west). An X first lady who has been elected in a extremely liberal State more for her sufferage as the most cheated on wife in modern times than anything she has actually accomplished...her stated agenda is more socialist than his. And the Republican is an Ex prisoner of war with a long and strong record (in the earlier years) that in the recent past has veered left to a point that has joined his name with many of the most socialist liberals in the Senate. This will leave us with a poor choice at best for our leader this next four years.
Where are the great Americans? Where is a Washington or a Lincoln or a JFK or a Regan? I see nothing now but professional politicans with their own personal power and advancment at heart. How many 20+ year Senators do we have? Who is the last Senator you can remember that left office other than due to to retirement or disgrace? And either way they receive more money than almost any other American. The House record is a little better...very little.
Another interesting aspect of our modern policital scene is the sheer amount in dollars that are spent on elections...billions (much of it tax money) invested in positions that earn only hundreds of thousands. Try to think of a business (outside our Government) that spends far more on its existance than it can ever hope to earn from it ...and how long that business could survive. Go figure. JT
