As of the past few years I've become very disillusioned with how politics works in America.
It's not just the scandals and corruption but with voter apathy.
People just don't talk politics anymore. Especially at the work place where we all spend most of our time. It's very diconcerting.
Even if I do touch on politics - especially the gun issue - you get very polarized responses. It's either guns are evil and should be banned or controlled outright; or I own dozens of guns and I'm waiting for someone to sneak in my house so I can blow them away with my AK-47. Yes, I actually worked with someone with that mindset. Needless to say, I kept an eye on him.
I've been told that most politicians have to appeal to voters on a 7th grade level and I can see that. People vote on their gut instincts rather than their intellect.
I believe George W. Bush is a good man and he believes he is doing the right thing but he does come across as buffoonish at times. And exactly how much cronyism is there?
I'm sick of the Democrats I'm sick of the Republicans. I'm sick of partisan politics. I WANT LEADERSHIP G*d damn it! I'm sick of stuffed shirts whose polished mannerisms mask mediocre character. I'm sick of voters with room temperature I.Q.s.
Why aren't there people like the founding fathers out there anymore? What would they think of what has become of us?
On one hand you have the effete Ivy League set who don't do anything but complain. Yeah, Al Franken, you and your ilk. I know a demagogue when I see one. Oh, and Bill O'Reilly can suck the wrong end of a goat too.
Then you have guys like the ones I work with who go to the casino, bitch how they lost their money and then get piss drunk on the weekends and wonder why their life sucks.
