OK. I just had to post some political comments knowing that it might create some comments on both sides. But, what is going on in this crazy world. There is no question that the majority of Americans are in favor of at least shortening thei miserable war, hate the idea of being snooped upon (NSA scandal), don't understand why they need to balance their checkbooks when the government has carte blanche to do with its checkbook as it pleases and the list goes on and on.
When will this stop? When will the politicians that we supposedly elected understand that regardless of which animal they represent (donkey or elephant) that they really represent us, the people that put them into office? When will they understand that we need to be sure that our needs are met before we meet the needs they concock of others?
I am a Democrat. I am a sort of liberal with a slight Conservative slant. But I am on the fringe of leaving the party that I have voted for over the years if they don't have the stomach for a fight. This new funding bill that has absolutely no teeth in it (I had to add a dental metaphor) is, in my mind, a failure on their part to represent the will of their constituents. If they choose to bow to the will of an administration that has failed in everything they have done, then they are no better than the party they replaced. It is about time to stop the insanity and begin the healing. Let's spend the $400 billion on healthcare, a cure for cancer, homes for the displaced in New Orleans etc. When is this going to stop?
