And While I'm Bitching about Politics

Since I'm on a roll about politics, I want to point out a couple things that people seem to keep forgetting about the presidency:

  1. The President is not getting ANYTHING except wars done by himself. And this last Iraq one was pretty much signed off on by everyone. Shame on everybody. Quit acting like any of the current candidates are going to be getting us out of Iraq or anyplace else. You want to drive around in cars? You love your ginormous SUV? We're stuck there until we wean ourselves from foreign oil. Good luck on that.

  2. NONE of the current presidential candidates is "looking out for average Americans" -- they want the top dog job. They're going to say and do whatever it takes to get it. As Tom Clancy has pointed out more than once: they would drive a car over their own children for that job. Don't look to politicians to look out for us anymore. It's not their job. Their job is to get elected, then to STAY elected. Bureaucracies are built to maintain themselves and little else.

  3. If you're going to choose a candidate, your going to have to look over the offerings, and pick the one that's going to SCREW YOU LESS. I'm not sure ANY of these candidates are going to cause me less pain in the next 4 years.
