True to an extent, but considering things went down the tubes over many, many years, incrementally, one tiny piece at a time, and "all or nothing" mentality accomplishes nothing, and a "they are all crooks" proclamation usually comes from someone who is too lazy to research candidates.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, its a duck. I don't feel the need to research the migratory patterns, mating rituals, nesting areas, and feeding habits to conclude it is a duck.
I understand that many people go to the polls without an incling of who, or what the candidates are, or stand for, I get that. (not being a snob /just honest per my own personal conversations and debates). In this day and age of Idiocracy the Kardashians would recieve votes if they were on the ballot, I think I was able to read (there were pictures too!) about a few people getting elected to political offices, based most likely, Because they were Movie Stars, and Pro Wrestlers. fame rather than Merit, and our elections are becoming a mockery.
None the less I do apprechiate the condesending tone in your opening statement, Thanks. Please don't assume that by stating a simple fact that it makes a person simple minded or lazy. In fact there is a growing group of us lazy simpletons, as you have implied, who are fed up with the corruption and greed that plages our Government, Wallstreet, and Corporate American. I think they are called Tea partiers. I know that I for one believe that Americans deserve more than a choice between the lesser of two evils. In fact we should have a choice of no evils without any ties or alternative agendas, A Candidate that is Honorable and simply interested in the good of our country and its people. A Candidate who is not willing to sell us out at any price. I know this sounds like a fairy tale version of "A Politician in Shining Armor" and completely ludicrous. So I think I can safely say without rebutle, The short and sweet version of my original post was by no means intended to be a cop out. I am merely stating my opinion, "accompanied now with supporting argument". They are all corrupt. YES "they are all crooks". NO ONE! And I mean NO ONE! is incorruptable these days, inevitably I believe everyone in this business ultimately has a price, EVERYONE!!! We need fresh candidates with Morals. Not incumbants or career Politicians. And remove them when they show signs of spoiling or becoming stale.
On the other hand if you insist and would like to attempt to offer a contradiction?!? Well! Knock yourself out! I realize that was not your
intention. Just so you don't think I misinterpreted that. But hey! so far we have the freedom to do so if we choose, sort of.
I for one do not have any answers, I would not even attempt to insinuate that I do, and I certainly do not wish to be part of the problem. Yet I must (Hypocritically) point out that our Politicians of today never fall short of pointing out problems, and fall even shorter with offering true solutions.
Unfortunately I believe we are witnessing the end of our great Nation. We are teetering on the cusp of an irreparable economy, if we haven't allready crested, and possibly an Era for all of Humanity.
These political posts open the door for too much scrutiny, argumentative, and negative type posts. Playing with fire...
