All right, I did watch the Republican Debate in Arizona. I just needed a few days to go by in order to digest it without throwing up. Clearly no one is worth a damn and the Republicans are scrambling, there is even talk of no one single candidate having enough delegates to win the convention. They might throw all the bums out and pick someone new!
I think it could be me! Newt is promising $2.50 a gallon gasoline, like it is his and he can just reduce the price! Mine will be $1.75. That is right. Vote for ME and I will sell you all the gas I own for a mere $1.75 a gallon!
You can watch one of these debates and it doesn't take long to realize that there are problems in a Representative Democracy. No one is really after what is best for the USA, it is all about Special Interest, like five fat guys on a committee to determine woman's rights! I love it.
I still think the best way would be everytime they vote for more money, say for the Olympics or that bridge to nowhere, they should just send us the bill. Then we would really know what something cost.
There is a cost to everything. We want to put pressure on Iran (think Persia!) to stop their nuclear efforts and they stop exporting oil. Duh! Who didn't think of that? As long as oil is the prize the world will be what it is. We will fight for it and people will die for it. More drilling won't help; it all gets sold to the highest bidder where ever it comes from.
I think Santorum might be a great President of Iran or some other therocrocy where the religion of the day prevails and heretics are stoned to death or burnt at the stake. I have a fear of people who think they are so right. I wouldn't mind Ron Paul controlling the purse strings. I think he might have every dime he has ever made. But his isolatioism in this modern world is a little scary top me. In think there are bad guys out there.
The truth is I don't know whether things are getting better or not. Everybody lies about everything,
that seems to be the only reality. Obama says there "is no silver bullet" and I suspect he is telling the truth. It is not what we want to hear. We want to be kissed on the forehead and tucked in at night and told all will be fine. Deep down inside we really want cheap gasoline but I wonder what the cost would be?
Maybe the Republicans couldn't come up with a better candidate because, well...they...are..
Republicans! They are after a different time, a time in the past. Yes, vote for me (and send me money!), I'll make it all perfect!
