The politicians, not me!
It is that time of year when I hope that death comes suddenly and quickly, so as not to hear all those politicians from both parties seeking my vote, listening to outrageous statements and promises, and regurgitating the same old rhetoric. This nonsense will begin until we either toss out or re-elect the President.
It seems there is always one politician who runs an ad on the radio that makes me nuts. Not for the point of view, but the constant repeating of the ad, day in and day out, more than once an hour! Usually the ad is from New Jersey, and I don’t even vote there!
Blagojevich, the convicted former governor of Illinois, made his promises, as did Joe Bruno once, and who can ever forget Monica Lewinski’s main squeeze, all making promises of sorts, all assuring me that things would be different this time, just elect them. There was that self-righteous governor of NY State, Eliot (socks) Spitzer and of course McGreevy from New Jersey, all either had something hiding in the closet or were themselves, and tried to disguise it. And back in the 70’s we had the non-crook, President Nixon.
Where have the Teddy Roosevelt’s and Fiorello LaGuardia’s gone?
You have all heard the phrase ”phony politician” used. It is a redundancy! There is very little conviction in their beliefs, they will jump parties if it helps them get re-elected, and not enough convictions from the courts of law!

Politicians run for office to take as much as they can for as long as they can. There are some exceptions, but men like Teddy Roosevelt with vision and the ability to get things done are damned hard to find.
