I see the major problem is the one we all see and live everyday. Each side only tells the side of the story THEY want told, Horrible is reported on one side, while ignored on the other, despair is felt on one side and ignored on the other, financial collapse is being lived by millions, yet shuffled to the bottom of the deck by BOTH.
Every day,the population of both hypocritical sides attack each other with the exact same political ammo, while the "leaders" of BOTH parties prosper together with just a simple toss of a little more wood to stoke the fire.
I wonder if I'll be banned for saying the best thing that could be done, is for everybody to go Independent, THAT will spark the "revolution", not more quipping at each other over partial truth in "news reporting", Not all Republicans are the devil just like not all Democrats are the saviors of humanity, the majority chunk of both sides think the same basic way, the puppet masters stoking the fire are the ones that are manipulating everyone into thinking "that other side" are the reason life sucks. THINK about it, we all know people from all angles, few of us really and truly know more crazy women hating, bigots that hate the president because he's black, than normal everyday people,..... he got elected with republican help, The VAST majority of all Americans are good decent, honest people that want whats best for everybody, the problem is that we are all so busy living a life, clever advertising and gimmickry work both in the grocery store AND in political fishing nets. If you want a political "revolution", you are going to have to offer a product worth revolting for, a new seasoning on the same dish ain't gonna do it.
Politicans don't LEAD anymore, they are a show horses, with defend able reputations, placed in the running for the advancement of the cause, except the cause has lost sight of it's masses.
Can anyone who has been in politics for 20, 30 40 years really say they understand what the hell is really going on in the lives of everyday people ? no way. politicians have to be elected and groomed, to understand how to "work the system" I.E......comply with the established order of political operations.......IF they want to keep the job. Doing the right thing isn't hard,.......unless of course you have to manipulate the entire process and outcome to best suit a political career first, and the people second or third. Hanging on to the your most popular anchor will still just get you to the bottom, Summerfest is on here in the Q and I can hear the music and smell the food - Cheers DU!
and by the way ............ GO BIG BLUE ! preseason approaches!
