Dismay of Political Climate....

Just to clarify what it is I mean: I'm absolutely @ my wits end in trying to rationalise with myself upon who Should win the Presidency. McCain is a quitter!!!! "Despite all the years he spent in Washington fighting for amelioration!!!!!! & Obama and all his Cronies just want to rule the world... It's Obvious to me that our current president only has one concern: " Securing his pocket books; "via oil mrkts." Imagine what a great country we'd have if someone like "Warren Buffet" or "Bill Gates" were to run for office........... "just a thought"

What's more is people are electing these candidates, then of course when they fail to deliver on their platform all those people that voted for them "flip-flop". It seems like presidential candidates are almost always moderates. Yes, they may identify as Republican or Democrat, but the ones that make it to the final phase of the elections are generally the closest towards the middle. A good way to get votes is to make everyone happy, and you can only seem to do this if you're in the middle. The problem arising from that is nothing EVER gets done with moderates, because one can never be effective if they are trying to make everyone happy. It's impossible.; ▶ Reply to This
