Have we really turned into sheeple?

Tuesday, November 2, 2010 is election day for Congress.  No matter what your political leanings and ideologies are, I'm sure we're all in agreement that things are not going well for the good ole US of A.  I don't blame this all on one person like some seem to do nor do I blame it on one party like others.  Our political system has been swirling down the toilet for years now but we've come to a point where it's severly clogged and we need Roto Rooter to come and flush out the pipes.  We're Roto Rooter.  We have the snake that will churn through the pipes and get rid of all the crap that has been piling up there for too long to mention.

I'm a registered Republican but I'm seriously thinking about changing to Independent simply because both the Republicans and Democrats have come to a point where neither represent the core beliefs of their party.  You might as well call them the "Republicrats" because party affiliation means nothing anymore.  And I can't take credit for "Republicrats", that's a Walton and Johnson original.

What I'm trying to say in this short blog is this...we, as Americans, have tendency to vote solely on the fact of what party one is affiliated with, what race they are or how your friends tell you to vote.  I'm asking you to look at the issues and vote for the candidate that you believe would work for you because, really, that's the job of a politician.  They are our employees.  Sure, they make more money than we do, can serve one term and have a lifetime pension plan and most have been or are involved in some sort of criminal activity but they're still supposed to do the bidding of the people and represent their constituents.  They should be kissing our asses, not the other way around like I witnessed when Steve Palazzo came to town.  Good Lord, that was a smooch fest.  I still voted for him, though, because I'm hoping for a shake up.  As I'm sure you can see, I don't have a whole lot of respect for politicians but since I live in America, it's a necessary evil.

When you go vote today, ask yourself, are you better off now than you were two years ago?  I know what my answer is...HELL NO!!!!!!!  Let's restore some sort of balance in our government by throwing some people out of Congress like dice out of a Yahtzee cup.  Get out and vote, people, or you don't get to complain!!
