Want change? Unseat the incumbents

[alw 0]

Want change? Unhappy with your government? Don't count on the president to do your job for you. Either way the election for president goes there will be a change in the office of president. The bigger election this year is for congress.

I tend to take a very non-partisan approach to that election. Simply put I will vote for the person no presently in office.

I look at the body as a whole. If there is an incumbent that has views I agree with and nothing is getting done, they aren't working in a fashion that gets it done.

Congress is doing a lousy job - not all senators are up for re-election but all representatives are. The 2006 election was not an anomaly it was a message, but only a repeat this year will convince congress that the electorate is serious.

We can't vote out the speaker of the house nationally and that's a shame. America is not a parliamentary democracy, we do not have a prime minister and the speaker should not aspire to be one. The speaker controls the agenda and the past two years have not indicated that there is an agenda for progress.

This November don't forget the part of the ballot that really affect your standard of living.

Do you really think your vote counts? The powers that be in this world talk to a few people and economies crash, people die etc, etc. Wake up.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

So, does that mean that you won't be voting this November?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
