Yes tis I, The Big Bastard fresh from watching the final day of the Republican National Convention. Like many people I heard nothing really new this year yet again. I have made it no secret here that I am a conservative politically. That does not insinuate that I am a Republican. I might have once allied myself with that party years ago, but the Republican party of today is not my party.
In the last decade I have seen the shift from conservatism to moderation in the party. I am not sure who they are trying to include but I can say they are doing alot to exclude the core that once held them up.
The president did speak about his accomplishments in education, health care and the War on Terror. He did tell us that he plans to continue to push ahead in these areas with no real specifics on how this will be done.
NOTICE - neither candidate nor any other politicians have addressed the real issues we care about. It is sickening the lack of back bone in the political parties to say and do the right things and make the really tough calls.
The Defecit - Not one of the politicians spoke of a spending freeze for 3 or so years and using the excess revenue to pay it down. To his credit (hard as it is for me to point this out) Clinton at least made a payment toward reducing the defecit when he saw there was a surplus.
Immigration - Is it really so hard for either side to stand up and defend the laws we have and enforce the immigration policies of this country? Who are we afraid we will alienate? The illeagal-criminals (yes they broke the law to get here) that cannot vote anyway?
This country cannot get well while we spend more and more every year with blatant disregard for common sense and balanced budgets. We put executives in jail for misleading the public about company stock values etc yet every one of our elected officials are committing these crimes on far greater scales and with further reaching effects.
I am so pissed off buy the political hokie-pokie that goes on out there I can almost not stand it. It is ashame that a regular guy like me cannot run for president. It is exactly the way the rich politicians want it. The little guy, The modern day Abraham Lincolns have been excluded from running for the office of president because it has been turned into a high stakes poker game that we can't play. The presidency was never intended to be a rich only office. That is exactly the sort of thing that led the founders away from England.
Even our elected representatives in Congress have all become fat cats. Send em all home and lets replace them with some regular and poor S.O.B.s that really do represent the majority of Amercians.
All in all these two conventions were nothing more than dog and pony shows. It was a bone tossed with no meat and we are all supposed to feel good becasue for a few days we were included and even spoken to for a change.
I'm The Big Bastard and I'm still asking you to write me in on your ballot when you vote for President
