Politics and politicians

Once upon a time a politician in this great country was a man of respect, a man of knowledge,
a man of honor and above all a man willing to sacrifice his time, his family life, his income and
his well being. He was chosen because he had a history of experience in either the military,
business, world knowledge and generally because people thought he could be trusted. Today the
reality is the complete opposite. Politicians in our government today are corrupt, self serving
elitists who`s main concern is power and how do I keep it or get more of it. How did this happen
to this great republic? I think it all started when our politicians learned that it`s more important
to be popular than to do what is right, It`s what you say not what you do. promise them anything
and do what you like, (Let them eat cake). Make it sound good, appeal to everyone depending
on who your addressing and when and where, (It`s the mob they wont remember).
This all started when the media told us and we told ourselves they were special and the good
folks in office learned quickly and started to believe. This was Camelot in all its splendor, what nice hair, what a beautiful wife, what cute kids. Today it`s the second coming, give me a break,
don`t you get it? You have people running this country who are as about qualified as I am.
I`m probably more qualified because Iv`e been around along time and have had long history
of experience. These idiots in office today really believe they are something special, the egos of
these people are unbelievable, they are above the law and can do no wrong. The most important
part of the day is when they have a photo-op a news conference or the evening cocktail party.
When do I go on my next junket? Should I take a vacation in between vacations? Should I show
up to vote today, or is it inconvenient? Should we vote another pay raise for ourselves today?
FORGETABOUDIT !! These people really believe you and I work for them, it is our job to support them , do whatever they say regardless what we think, and don`t you dare challenge them because you know your not worthy . I know, what can we do? We can begin by throwing these bums out of office as soon as we can. We can make such a stink every time one of these clowns screws up,the adoring media has to pay attention.(But that`s another story). We as a people must stand up and shout out to world we will not tolerate a government that has risen above the people instead of a government for the people and all of you people out there who honestly believe our government is the panacea and the answer to all your problems.....
