We need TERM LIMITS so there are no career politicians! We need folks
from the real world that may make mistakes but do it in a democratic
fashion rather than a "deal maker club".
Everybody listen to themselves!! I read all the posts here and "the
party" shouldn't matter!! Just the best interest of our country no
matter party affiliation!
The politicians have the sheeple so divided on party lines...Rozen
you said "if Bush being elected in 04 would bring down the rep party
you would vote for him". If you believe all the other stuff you
said...is that in the country's best interest?
Who made the original statement "divide and conquer" People we are
being divided by the politicians for a purpose!!!!

Cussing politicians is like cussing a middle-level manager in business.
Politicians work hard to keep their jobs and please their bosses. If
their bosses are ill-informed and inattentive, then middle-level
managers may choose to take advantage. If the boss only shows up once
every four years, can't be bothered with petty details, makes a few
emotional, off-the-cuff decisions, then disappears for another four
years, then the boss will get what he deserves.

What if some of his managers are talented, experienced, and principled?
Should they be lumped in with the lesser managers, and all chucked out
based on years of service, simply because the boss can't be bothered to
check performance of his managers?

If our country goes to hell in a handbasket within the next twenty
years, don't blame the politicians. Take personal responsibility. If
you believe that other voters are misinformed or uninformed, then inform
them. If YOU are uninformed or misinformed, inform yourself. All of us
are uninformed, to varying degrees. But if we remain that way, it isn't
the politicians' fault. Or the media's, for that matter. WE drive this
system.

I've been working in political campaigns since 1966. If you don't like
my political inclinations, you better get out and get to work.
Otherwise, I win in a walkover. And George W. is in my sights this year.
