I'm not pissed at all, I just get tired of the "he said - she said" posts, when the real issues are more important to me.
Well put Sean.
I see the issue as a bloated government bureacracy (federal AND state). I do not see many politicians who are running on the fical responsibility issue.
My non partisian observation is that no matter who has the reins of government, things simply do not improve. The education system in this country is laughable, infrastructure is in near ruin, taxation is out of control. This didn't happen overnight, it has been a long slide. Typically the party out of power does its best to make things bad for Americans so they can get elected and solve the problems. Now I am faced with the frightening prospect that health care will fall into the political whirlwind and end up like the educational system.
My mother is a huge McCain supporter. She is a smart lady.
Joe is an Obama supporter. Joe is a brilliant individual.
My wife thinks Clinton is the person for the job. My wife is very intelligent.
When I look into each one, I do not see what I know to be the right path. No major candidate is going to unite me with any cause, government program, or handout. I am an American for crying out loud. To paraphase JFK, I don't want my country to do anything for me. How can I help other Americans. It is through the giving that we, as a people, will become stronger - not through the taking.
