Politics have always been a dirty business. I think everyone starts out with noble and just intentions. The problem is most folks choose party lines and with a mistaken sence of loyalty refuse to cross those lines. Look at our great nation. we are reduced to the media reporting opinions rather than facts. Our education system lags behind so much of the world. The big 3 are in trouble. Ford and Gm are ready to collapse. The list feels almost endless.
Look at Katrina... People sufered due to politicians getting territorial. Blame FEMA blame GWB if you want but the bottom line is nobody was cooperating with each other and that was the real failure. We have so many people who are solely worried about whats only good for them or the area they live in. When it comes to federal money shouldn't the first question be whats good for the Country? Where I live we have a congressman who wants money for an inflatable damn project. They have pictures of people swiming and fishing and its a kodak moment. The only problem is the river is so polluted you would be insane to swim in it. Most all of his projects have helped just a few of his friends and family. But folks continue to re elect him. he's been in office longer than most of us have been legal to vote.
Term limits for all reps would be a fine start. No more than 4 years. This eliminates alot of the I.O.U mentality vote for my bill and I'll vote for yours.I don't care what party the other guy is if the current rep isn't making change happen for the better he should be fired. What a message this can send. We have finger pointing about the war. Hey they voted for it. They had the same facts. Finger pointing about military equipment. Hey they all knew what was lacking before hand. After all many voted against upgrades. Lets get rid of the finger pointers and ney sayers and vote for people who actually care about the nation they serve more than they care about themselves. We spend billions in foriegn aide when we have kids that can't afford college, we are sending money over seas when our goverment can't pay its own bills. Does this make sence to you? Its time for change. The change needs to start at home and how we vote.
