Politicos have hit the ground running with anal statements…..after all it is an election year and I expect many more……
While doing an interview on the tube DCCC member, Debbie Wasserman Schultz said….
“I am confident that in 2012 the people will be the winner in this election cycle” (a paraphrase)
I realize that she is NOT the first person to use this statement, on the contrary, it has been used by almost every politico regardless the color of the ideology…..but…… (there is always a ‘but’)…….after she made the statement I got to thinking…..after at least 50 years of this comment and NOTHING has actually changed for the people of this country…I mean this is a cute little sound byte…….please explain to me what the people will win…..justice for the thieving bankers? Maybe it will be a way to get out of poverty? Or will it be a Congress that works more than it is off……what will we, the people, win?
I truly wish that I could say something positive about this election…..but the only think that comes to mind…..same song….different singer!
You know someone has been in politics too long when they roll off one-liner cliches like that.
Of course under certain circumstances when media types are constantly pounding them to predict the future in some detail, this is perhaps the best put-off for them at that time.
And I like Wasserman-Shultz too.
I also like her….but her statement just hit a nerve and I realized how many years I have been hearing that line of BS……and how many years that it has never come life…..
