Once again an election for the leadership of our country will be determined by the choice of words used and their perceived meaning. Can we really trust what we are hearing, being told, or viewing in a commercial?
I listen to conservative radio and get tired of the diatribe or the method of spreading the message. I listen to the liberal news and radio shows and get tired of their diatribe and methods as well.
I guess politics is learning and understanding. You can't take a candidate's view, presentation, or speech for the reality of the issues. You have to discover them for yourself and then make a decision.
Knowing what the country needs starts with your state elected officials who represent you on the grassroots level. You have to have a presence on that level and be involved. Your federally elected officials are next- the Congressman. You really need to know what type of person they are, what their ideals are and what, if anything, they will really do when they get to Washington. The President has power, but he is controlled by the House and Senate.
Unfortunately today we have a shambles on our hands. I don't think neither party really represents the people. Sadly, I don't think America is once what it was either. The dysfunctional Congress and Executive branch really represents the American Public. Yes, I just said that Government doesn't represent the people, but in fact I think it does.
We have been polarized since this Depression has started and it has changed how our government works. Our government works by getting re-elected and not acting on the best interest of the country.
This election, of all offices, will be determined by which set of values shows up at the polls. They will determine the course.
Government is only as good as the vision of those who run, manipulate and enact change. Are you ready?
