Politics

Have you ever really understood politics? Nothing ever seems to get accomplished by those of us talking about politics, but we make a lot of cloudy, blanket statements meant to discredit our opponents. But who can blame us, we are just follwing the lead of the politicians. The statements we make originate with the media; they look for every mis-said recorded word they can find and blare it on the news until we get tired of it. Then if it is for our beliefs, we remember and remind everyone with differing beliefs whenever we can. If it is against our beliefs, we will forget about it until an election comes, and then all our oppenents remeind us how stupid we were; it's "no holds barred."

But who do we elect? Those political leaders we fought so hard for during elections are inefficient at running the country. I often wonder when senators running for the presidency have time to vote and debate in Congress. Have you ever watched c-span, the legislature is empty. What are our politicians doing? They run around to get elected so they can run around again to get re-elected. I mean could you imagine the fallout we would have in the US if the Iraqi legislature did what our legislature does? Get to work!

Although this blog is very short, the thoughts I have about politics and politicians are many. Look forward to my rant in politics regularly.
