Politics And Religion

I read a story this morning that Huckabee was not alone in his ignorance of Mormonism…..that not many outside the religion have any idea what it is all about. This started me thinking….why is this so damn important? Personally, I do do not care if these people stop at a walmart parking and pray to shopping carts. The real question or concern should be how many children will go to bed hungry? How many more vets will kill themselves? How much longer will a war continue? will there ever be a fair health care program? All of these are far more important than what a person does with his/her Sunday morning.

Ask yourself if the person you support will benefit you and your family. Do not base your decision on what he/she believes religiously.

Another thing in these political ads–shown with wife and kids–okay i get it his dick works. But I do not care if his dick works–that has little to nothing to do with his capability to lead the country.

Please make your decision rationally and logically, but leave the horseshit on the road where it belongs.

A New Idea For Future Debates

I have watched and watched and …….the debate process over the last year and I see a reall disservice to the American people. The media controlled debates are a joke. even the ones hosted by PBS. This trend has got to stop. The media is looking for ratings not knowledge. they want the cat fights and the insults and attacks and….

I have an idea! Why not have the debates, even in the primaries close together…say there is a GOP debate on Jan 1 then have the Dem debate on Jan 2……ask the same questions of the Dems as the repubs. Then the people that would be watching could compare the different candidates and their stands and then they would have a solid base from which to make an accurate choice of which candidates best represents the stands and policies that they are drawn to.

The process now, seldom are the different party candidates asked the same questions, so if you are a Repub you get only questions that plays to the base and same with Dems. How would the voter know that they are TRULY voting for the person that has a good chance of fixing the country?

The media is a prime suspect in the destructive partisanship of the voter. They need this to keep ratings up and to keep their cutesy jobs.

Please, demand change……you are living in a world that does not need partisanship…it needs a REAl leader…..how do you know you are getting that now?
