I believe its time to clean house. Time this country finds a new way to govern that will make it once again the country to be seen by the other countries looking at Us as the country to emulate. Currently, We look quite ridiculous with those who are in office, both in the senate/congress. Those in office now seem to have lost their way as to the reason as to why they were elected and placed in office. Over the last few years; if not more, the two parties have done nothing more than "grandstand" and haven't done what they were put in office for, to serve the people!!! They are more concerned playing their political games, "We have more of Us in this house and We say No to everything you bring up to a vote!!" Nothing but bickering and waste of taxpayer monies!! They don't represent anyone but themselves!! And they are quite the embarrassment in knowing the eyes of other countries are upon Us. They are more concerned as to taking care of those who have deep pockets and serve the special interests of the companies that will once again help them be elected once their terms are up for re-election. Thus, keeping the same unproductive and useless senators in office and keeping the special interest companies from any drastic changes that will impact their way of doing things and keeping their bottom line stable; regardless if these interests are good or not for the people of this country. Which many are not! In doing so, the people of this country that I served in the military for over 20 years has fallen into becoming the laughing stock of the world! And I wonder what ever happened to the country I so proudly defended and would have given My life for? For its not what I have witnessed over the last few years! And these so-called senators don't seem the serve the people they say they represent, for every year when the budget comes up for debate and they all play this ridiculous games of pretending to care for the people they serve when in turn; there is always an extension in meeting the budget or worse, the budget is held up from a vote altogether. Not caring about the people who voted them into office and in turn..hurting those same people who rely on this monies; i.e Government employees, those who rely on medical programs inpacted by the stalling, and many many others. But lest not forget, they get paid whether or not there is a vote!! In fact, they have to vote not to recieve a pay raise each year!! That sounds fair don't it! NOT
As far as this election year; God do W/we have such a great selection of possible candidates? One who has lost his mind and dont care who he insults or how he looks in front of all the publicity machine he seems to crave and insulting both the people of this country and that of other countries. Lacking serious people skills!!! I agree perhaps this country needs to look outside of the normal political nominees...but one who is so outrageous and one who has insulted and made a mockery of this country's election process; as well hasn't made a good impression on other world leaders. Sure he is one W/we all ought to run to the polls for and push the buttons during the upcoming election....!!! NOT Remember, if he wins the election, and with his hot headed and unthoughtful comments he often make..is the same person who has the ability to order the pushing of the button that can start a war that can cause catastrophic death to many in this country as well as others! This is not a Commander in Chief I would want to serve!! As for the other candidate; well she is a better choice; but maybe not much better. Although she served well in other positions within the government but not without some controversy. Some not of her own making and some that were. Mistakes have been made while she served Secretary of State, but I can't see how all the blame as the other party has tried to pin on her, is her fault. She had a many under her in who she relied upon (chain of command) who failed her. Yes I understand that she was ultimately responsible for those under her, but lets get real! One person can't possibly manage all the assets and the people to whom is under this umbrella of control within this office! It takes a team of people working together to make it all work. Many failed her! And to add salt to the wound W/we A/all felt from the loss of life in Benghazi was only compounded by those unrelenting and politically motivate "witch hunt" of those politicians who found fit to waste years of investigating and wasting so much of the taxpayer monies that really never solved anything other than get their names in the limelight and try to make a name for themselves! Yes there are other questionable things that may put shade on her, but overall I felt she represented this country...to b continued
