41. Politicians will never be the answer

Sat Sep 6, 2014, 07:07 AM

Sep 2014

so comparing one to another is near enough to pointless to be unworthy of the time spent. While it is true that certain policies from Washington have contributed to the essential problems, and some better policies could enable change, or at least be neutral to it, nothing truly important will come from there. The best we can hope for is an administration that stops doing damage. BHO has tried, and certainly has slowed the damage rate.

Fundamental change will arise from the ground up and leave the politicians little choice but to go along for the ride.

I vote for the Dem in every race because they generally do less damage and create the havoc at a slower rate. I do not expect a cure at the ballot box, but less harm is always better than more of it.
