The Times They are a Changin'

Change is a constant, but in my opinion the changes lately have not been for the better... at least not better for the common man. The race for president is building more and more steam and I personally don't see a candidate that would bring any REAL change to this country. Actually, I don't think there has been a president worth much since Truman. JFK perhaps could have made a big difference if he had the time, but it wasn't to be. Since then it's gotten worse with each new administration. Weak losers with no vision, no integrity. The current administration is by far the worst though. I thought his daddy was bad, but GW (I refuse to say his name) could and would drive this country into the ground if it wasn't for term limits. Bold face liars, cheaters, thieves of life and property, with total disregard for the law, for the people of this great country (well, it use to be great.. and could be again) or for humanity. I don't need to cite specifics, anyone with a brain can and has seen all too much on the news about what these evil, power mad lunatics have done.... the worst of it we probably do not and will never know. Doesn't matter, I've seen enough already to believe that GW should be impeached and take the V.P. with him. That, of course, is the problem... to get rid of all the bad apples in this bunch we'd have to dig all the way down to who knows where.
Seems to me that the phrase "of the People, by the People and for the People" is no longer a part of the government. Politicians WILL say or do ANYTHING to get and stay in office. These people are suppose to represent US, the people. Instead, they are more loyal to their party (doesn't matter which one) so that the money supply stays open. Congressional Reps falsely believe that they are elected to LEAD us... that we are too stupid to know what's best for us. The fact is that they are elected to REPRESENT us in congress... to fight tooth and nail for what is RIGHT and for what WE tell them is important to US... not for what the lobbyists are willing to pay them for.. or to follow the party platform like a bunch of lemmings. I do not see one single candidate in this election year that wouldn't buckle under to the pressure of special interests.
My views are very much different from the mainstream.. I actually BELIEVE that the government should DO things to make this a better country. We have become the world's police and that's not a good thing. It is causing us to place the betterment of this country on a lower priority. Additionally, Big Business is far too involved in the politics of this country. Those who have almost all the money want the rest of it. Not a good thing. Words like sacrifice, integrity, generosity and kindness are seldom used.
We need to get back on track. There are hard and serious issues that NEED to be not only discussed, but solved... and solved in a way that makes this a BETTER country.
