The Ever Present….”US”!

Is it just me or is the use of the word “us” getting to be a bit much and awfully irritating? The media is full of people that know what the “us” want or need…..they are full of the compassion for the middle class and the working “man”….if all that is true and I doubt that any of it is genuine, then why is the middle class disappearing and the bloat politicians in Washington are aiding in the destruction of the middle class?
You know where I am coming from on this….you all have heard the excessive use of “us” and “the people” and “Main Street America” and that is a good thing if they get off their collective butts and actually do something about the deterioration….but they DO NOTHING! They stroll up to the nearest microphone and make their day’s talking points issued by which ever party they pretend to represent…..it is all so much double speak….yes Irene….they LIE…..if they were telling the truth more would be done to control the events that are eating up the middle class and turning them basically into “indentured servants”.
We as a collective body keep voting for the richest, most insincere individuals…that say whatever it takes to get you to the polls and vote….they blow smoke up the butts of the electorate knowing good damn well that they have NO intention of changing things…..their sole purpose is to make enough noise so that the media fixates on them which in turn heightens their street cred back home….and all the while homes are lost, jobs are lost and people go hungry……and then we cannot understand why Washington is so dysfunctional…..
YOU……I say that again….YOU….are responsible for the condition of American politics and the condition of the economy that is nibbling at your ass….that is right…YOU are responsible….makes NO difference if you think you are a Repub or a Dem….they both are humping you…..and humping HARD….and what do you do? Smile and vote for the con men over and over….why? YOU are afraid of real change! You listen to the spam bots that keep you shivering under your kitchen table….you allow them to tell you what you want to hear and NEVER demand information that you NEED to hear……
And yes….I know this is falling on deaf ears…..but someone had to say it! If want the country to improve then find a way to remove the bloated, self-absorbed people that you now have representing you….you CANNOT win the battle of life with these people at the command positions…..it is that SIMPLE!
And please…you Dems STOP calling yourselves Progressive…you are NOT!
You make a not so subtle point how when politicians want to move certain legislation through their respective bodies they always refer to it as “the will of the people” when on many occasions it is the will of special interests dressed up as something for the “common good.”
And yet the voters falls for it almost everytime. ……we never learn
I feel your pain. I’m pretty juiced, and finishing up my computer time, so WTF, it seems to me to be about the rise and fall of civilizations. This could very well be America’s heyday– or, even worse, the rise and fall of inhabitable planets! It’s a shame, but that’s evolution. Maybe I’ll suffer along with everyone else–but I’ve had a good life. I know, based on that last comment, your thinking BARF, but as you pointed out above, it’s not as if the “end” was inevitable! The warning signs have been around for a long time, but the zombies refuse to become aroused! What more can I say? Maybe “One for my baby and one more for the road”–if you get my drift. Nice post by the way!
Thanx bwin…..I do have my moments….usually after massive a mounts of coffee…….I would not mind so much the use of “us” if they actually were one of us…..
Isnt it really the will of half of the people. Whether repub or dem, the issue is usually supported based on party. They should start saying “half of us” firmly support whatever…. Yada yada yada. You get my drift im sure
Yep……but I am still trying to discover the “us”….thgat implies that they have someone interests at heart…oh wait….I forgot about corporate America…my bad!
