What can one say?

Yes, just What can one say? How could anyone really be interested in this Presidential race? Just what do these candidates bring to the table that would give anyone real reason for hope? Is it the Easter Bunny as I have written to that leads one to that sentiment? He's young and speaks well, she's tough, he's a hero, I really could care less. I only care if they can they lead, what have they done, what have they failed to do and what are they doing now? Why do I have to wait until after the election if they are the leader they claim to be? Just who got us to where we are?

I see the Presidential candidates showed up yesterday, the first time in months, to be counted for a specific bill. Wow they did what they are getting paid to do. So just what is it that these people who are voting for them, like about them, think about them  and believe that equates to their works and makes them hope in them? No I don't care what they claim or profess. The newspapers are full of our leaders who profess one thing but do another. So just what is your understanding of just what these candidates bring to the table, if anything? What can one say?

If you have two identical things then what difference? The facts are there right before you to answer. These parties and their ideology are identical, no difference, nada, no nothing monumental. They are all Free Traders and Globalists and they are all agreed on the destination, period and that is not a bad thing only the way they have applied it. They have literally killed the fatted calf. What can one say?

 So once again, just what is it that draws people to the belief that these people will actually change things, just what? It certainly isn't their records, the works of their hands. Have they all,  in one way or another, brought us to the brink of what is all about us? To say no is to ignore fact. Hope, hope what? What is it that people want to grasp or hang onto? "They think", think what may I ask? Do they see the signs and symbols all about? So just how do they justify, yes justify supporting these types any or all of them? Please explain why with some substance. What can one say?

 No I won't go down the list of failure because what good would that do? We were all in Lollipop heaven and we have been the suckers. What can one say?
So no matter what is written people will do what they think is right, record or no record. Yes and people will continue to Wonder Why? We who know understand we can't seem to make the point sink in. What we are crying out saying  "get a grip" and getting absolutely no reaction. Where do you see the jobs coming from, good jobs, stay here jobs, where? One word for it "unbelievable"!
 
Now these same types, yes same types, many of you like, who are in office now and have been part of "that Washington Crowd" for years and get this, gave us all this, low wage jobs, elimination of benefits, At Will employment, higher everything but lower wages and dead end jobs and you still believe in them. What can one say?
My gosh what does that say about America? Has it all come down to looking good, say anything one wants to hear and what about ones deeds? Yes, evidently works don't count? You ask people and they do not even know or understand what is happening all about them. These politicians are putting forth their plans and suggestions and idea's and people jump out of their seats. Yes after the cat is out of the bag. Ok, yes, I know, build the fence and yes those jobs aren't coming back. Education, give me a break. How many jobs does this President think will be created? Will there be enough to employ all these newly educated or only those with Green Cards? What can one say?
Look, burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me. In my opinion we have been fried! I really can't ask or say anymore. What can one say? Change Congress Change America.

Look, in my opinion if they want to demonstrate they can lead and make change, stay in Washington and make the changes NOW! Why do we have to wait? How simple can that be?

Thank you Teresa for your kind words. Yes I am an extremely passion filled person in all I do or undertake and I suppose my intensity does come through in my writing. I care about people and injustices and hate and explotation, truly care and as a beleiver it troubles me so many profess but we have what we have. These candidates all have had their chance to demonstrate their beliefs and skills. We have seen it in their works, What they have done an failed to do. It is now time for change, real change. Teresa I know you realize our form of government was founded on the principals of "for the common good". The common good of all. When people, individuals of all walks of life start to stand for who they profess to be and only then will real change come, they will demand it. But as Long as we buy the Easter Bunny and do not do our homework, we will reap what we sow. All the very best, to I also know as being passion filled as well. Yes and pray, but also remember the times we live in. Peace and blessings, Robert.

hi robert, thanks for exposing me to more of what's going on, through your articles. i also believe we need to change congress, and anything else that no longer works in the intended way. that about sums up all of washington. i am really disappointed in our presedential choices, but i will vote for who i believe is the lesser of two evils, and for that, i have the freedom to vote? best for guiding me along, best regards, sue thom

Thanks sue. We can only vote for president along those lines and that is a question we all must face. Yet, we can do something about Congress in each of our own states. We can send a message by changing the one now in office by giving them the boot. If they have by deed and record supported America we must keep them. However, if they have voted time and time again for those things that hurt America, we need to give them the boot. All the very best, Robert.
