34. Very well said.
Until this election I have known this but ignored it. I always voted, held my nose almost every time. This time I just can't bring myself to even care. I felt marginalized and taken for granted for years but now the light is on and I see that we all are. That is certainly not helped by the behavior we see surrounding our elections. Not only do we have nothing at all to do with the final outcome none of the work that people do for candidates is ever repaid by a good representative. That word, representative. It sounds very old and quaint doesn't it? Could our process be anymore immature? Could it be anymore like pure entertainment? How in the hell did a smart nation become like we are today? I used to laugh when people said they would vote for the best looking candidate since they would have to look at them for at least 4 years. Now there is having a beer with them attitude. I have yet to hear a real policy discussion, nobody seems to care as long as someone can put them back into that dream that all will be better if you just vote for me. Hope? Change? Riiiight. Read my page, that says what I believe just don't watch what I really do. Really, believe me, I will be just what you want if only you elect me. You bet :eyes:.
