Are You Kidding Me

"The politicians have divided a neighborhood." ---Arnold Schwarzenegger

Mitt, Newt, Obama, Ron, Rick and I could go on forever. Is this all we really have to choose from for President (POTUS)? After all the bickering, accusations and name-calling, I am sure they are all decent men. However, not one of these men excites me as the answer to our problems here in the United States.

I find it sad in America that we actually have candidates that have to affiliate themselves with a party. I wish all candidates were independents and did not play the party game. Republicans for example will not get behind a great candidate if they are not conservative enough or that candidate supports a cause not to their liking. Democrats usually will not collectively support a candidate that seems too conservative.

I think it is fair to look at our present situation here in the USA. We are in need of some serious changes. We are not just talking about the economy, but our debt as a nation. Look at the deficit per man, woman and child in the USA. It is jaw dropping enormous. If you want a sobering, reality-check look at this link. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ If I read this correctly, the current debt as of 01/23/2012 is $48,791.00 per man, woman and child. This equates to $135,212.00 per taxpayer. The time to put a stop to this insanity is now! It will hurt to stop this and no one group or agency can carry the burden alone.

The bottom line for me in voting for a new POTUS will be where they have been working for the past 4-years or more. If any candidate has worked in Washington, D.C. for the past four-years or more, they will not be considered. They are the people that cannot get this debt under control. It is the old rule at play here. “If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten.” Why in the world would people consider a candidate that has contributed to this mess in the first place? Is it logical to assume that if we change their title that they will suddenly become better at their job and do it differently? I look at Newt and wonder why people are even considering him.

I guess it comes down to that party thing. No, change that to a religious thing. Wait; change that to a liberal thing. Perhaps it is a conservative thing. Forget all that, I am certain it is a corporate thing. Maybe it is a racial thing. What ever it is, all I know is that their names collectively carry the letters to spell… MORON! =)
