Why?

I am dumbfounded by the politicians in our country. We don?t seem as united as we should, foremost who should we blame the Republicans, the Democrats or the Independents?

Our country was built on pride at one time. We were strong, invincible and feared by many world wide. Proud of dying for what America stood for, Freedom. Our country was made from the American Indian, and Cowboys, Blacks, settlers from Italy, Ireland, Germany, France, China, Japan, people world wide. We were quick to point a finger hanging signs like, ?Irish need not apply;? also pointing the finger at the Japanese and Germans during the second world war. We as Americans bonded living together forming a country united.

The Republicans have always stood for business, manufacturing, build employment, the economy, work and reap the benefits. We were blue collar workers sweating American Pride building neighborhood from sea to shining sea. The Party stood strong until there was a correction in the stock market from a sag in the economy, the Bulls lost control. By that time most manufacturers were top heavy any way which gave them a reason to downsize; did the Republican party slipped?

No problem, the Democrats stood strong jumping in to give away the hard earned surplus created by the richly fulfilled economy helping those in need handing out cash for months on end for those not able to get a job, or lazy soaking the program until their funds ran out? I?m tired of hearing, I receive more from state unemployment than when I was working; where is your pride?

Now we have the Independents, I was once one, and admit I am ashamed at the fact as well. These people are changing the course of America, by means of indecisiveness I might add. These are the Soccer Moms, the Tree Huggers and the people that do not want to spank their children or keep score in fear of inflicting low self esteem on their children? Floaters I call them, incapable of making a decision and sticking to it then backing out of it at the sign of distress. This is our weakest link.

Our Government in tern is indecisive in the Senate and the House respectfully from Party Sliders, Floaters, changing the course of Politics; you disagree? No disrespect to our President but this pass election was not all Dems, it was the Floaters jumping on the ban wagon. Where are all his supporters now? As I mentioned, the first sign of distress they hide. ?We the People? are losing trust in our Government.

Living in Massachusetts it has been a standing joke with me, supposedly this is the Kennedy State, I disagree. However, start a conversation in politics and no one will admit they are Kennedy supporters; they didn?t vote for him! Again, no disrespect for Uncle Teddy, please; may he rest in Peace. However, my point is the nation has adopted this means of politics, floaters?

Then we have the Lawmakers on the hill filibustering over Laws and hearings of sports and steroids, let the people decide that. Remember what happened the last strike, what happened to the Montreal Expos-politics! The people were not happy and did not go to te games, it will happen. Let the sports gurus handle their own issues, We the People? have political concerns. Again, floaters, where is your backbone?

Alright Mr. President your first year is up? Enough worrying about text messaging while driving and lets get on with the politics and fundamentals that operate this country, and expose of the terrorism, establish healthcare, fix the unemployment, repair the economy, and stop giving our money to nations that do not like us, lets rebuild our nation?

There is much to be done in this country; water in the west for crops domestic and export; healthcare, research for disease control; alternative fuels, exploration of oil, oil refinery; our own homeless people and those in the wake of Katrina, let us be done with the foreign policy trash-they do not like the U.S.!
