The air is crisp and at least partially clean, the sunshine feels pleasant as it chases away the fall chill, Mother Nature is painting the leaves remarkably beautiful colors, especially pleasing to see.
All the changing weather patterns are so enjoyable, it can be such a refreshing time of year. But wait!
There’s more! It’s also about that time of year again when the witches, spiders, warlocks, ghosts, goblins, and killer pumpkins emerge. But wait! There’s more! Also emerging are all the sneaky liars, skuzbags, self-serving corrupt career politicians.
Narcissism and greed are rampant. Once again, our so called leaders emerge from their slimy dens of darkness where creepy crawlers are oozing out from under their rocks to scare hell out of people, most of which are of voting age and they know what’s in store for them.
Here’s a thought: If you ever have the need to question what some people think of you, run for political office. The lies soon magnify themselves about you, as a candidate, with crap that’s unbelievable. This is such a humongous crock of political picayune BS. Not once have I ever heard of a career politician suing another politician for defamation of character. Perhaps that’s because they’re lacking character, morals or a conscience. Perhaps what their opponents say is true. Politicians continue to manipulate situations to their advantage, knowing it’s wrong, and cry the blues and apologize to the voters. (Only if they get caught.) They pull this crap and smirk in the voter’s faces.
How about a half-million dollar “vacation” to the other side of the world? How about Air Force One traveling coast to coast campaigning for some political crony wanna-be who we’ve never heard of? A thousand-dollar-a-plate fundraiser for another wanna-be to supposedly help the candidate get elected. Bet the troops in Afghanistan would love to attend that one.
Taxpayers’ expense, is that a new term? Guess who’s laughing at the very fools who voted for them. Perhaps we should let Bernie Madoff out of jail and let him run the country. When he ran a ponzi scheme, the feds declared it illegal. What do you call the ponzi scheme the U.S. is running – legal? Did you do anything to create this $16 trillion (that’s 14 spaces) deficit? I didn’t. So why do they freeze my Social Security income for two years and then have the “you know what” to tell us we will have to limit your cost of living (COLA)? Can you guess who will bankrupt Social Security? I’m sure they sadistically enjoyed taking out the max Social Security deductions when I was working.
Now some good news. Not to worry voters, each election time gas prices decline and unemployment decreases because thousands and thousands are back to work. Back to work where? I suspect on paper.
The national debt has decreased by 39 cents, the stock market is up 13⁄4 points. Wow! How do they do that? This stuff sounds like a candidate for the lining at the bottom of my canary cage. Some closing thoughts I’ve heard by many:
(1) Do away with lobbyists.
(2) Install a button directly in the middle of all career politicians foreheads so that when it’s pushed they will have to tell the truth.
(3) Eliminate the “D’s” and “R’s” and make everyone “I’s.”
(4) Presidential elections should be decided by popular vote the same as everyone else.
(5) Do I like politicians? Yes, I do. The honest ones. You know who you are.
I consider my beloved father a wise man and a great life’s teacher. He told me “A person is measured by the worth of their word.”
Somehow I hope a copy of this finds its way to William Jefferson Clinton (now who could lie with a name like that?) and the “Teflon Tongued Big O.”
Thanks for reading my opinions. Last I heard we still had a right to express our opinions. Hope they’re never on the “kill” list with other basic disappearing American freedoms.
So far we’re still entitled to that.
