Bragging Rites Pt.1

I haven't written on my blog in a while, however, felt the need to today........

I am, by the very definition upset about the amounts of cash flow that comes in day after day, week after week and month after month to these campaigns. Millions of dollars are literally being spent to basically keep America in the same position it's been in for centuries. Why you might be asking? Because we live in a vicious cycle. A cycle that keeps repeating itself in every generation without fail. 

Let's just get to the nitty-gritty here.....I am well aware that people just don't give millions of dollars away with out some kind of guarantee that they will receive something in return. The "big money" spenders that belong to the so called "527" group aren't just giving money away because they can, they without a shadow of a doubt know that the reward that's being reaped from their power/position far out weighs their contributions. These are the ppl who will never be taxed no matter how much we scream and holler. They are the "Supper Pacs", they are the reason candidates can run for an office, and they are also the reason why the middle and lower class never rise above their current position. The United States is just not set up that way! Most of all they are the ppl that allow for bragging rites on each side of the coin.

Let's break this thing down:
Republicans....have a man that's running for an office that he's ran for at least 4 times already. Now it seems to me that somewhere another Republican has to be asking themselves "if we didn't want him before, why would we all of a sudden be interested in him now?" I'll tell you why, because out of all the goof balls that came before him (and as much as the Republican Party hates it) he is the only "full blooded, nice looking non-back bone having white bread American" that can be molded into what they think is "needed" right now! The appearance is always numero uno in this game ppl- believe me. He must look the part and the "monsters" will make everything else up as they go.
I actually feel sorry for the Republican Party as well as Republicans everywhere, because if he does make it into the white house, he will have no more power to do anything with this countries' woes than the current president has. As a matter of fact, all of the current President's agendas will be given to Mitt and dressed up to appear and have the smell of newness! NOT SO......just look at the current issues, everything that is going on now, Mitt either did it in Massachusetts or was on some committee to help establish it, but he says "IT'S  NOT RITE WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS DOING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!" http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/thu-june-28-2012-tenacious-d (Let's jump back on schedule here, and we can save that for Pt.2.)

Both sides have made enough donations to feed several small countries (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/corporate-political-donations_n_1644375.html), and yet they take the money and use it to convince the American ppl of something they already know (now whether they do it or not is entirely a different matter all together). Instead of giving money right back to the "Super Pacs" that gave it to you in the first place (ie...cable corps., major business conglomerates, marketing firms...etc...etc) why not put ppl back to work, why not start a program that allows families who are loosing their homes, jobs and filing bankruptcy a small allowance a week that requires a pay back once they get on their feet (we do it for school loans all the time)? Better yet, take the money open a company that has been previously outsourced to all these different foreign countries and fill it with the growing population that's out of work here in America!!!! Ooooo I know let's just try something different for a change, because I tell you what....that would be a president I'd want to vote for! This country is not broke by any means, we all "find" money to do exactly what we want to do, when we want to do it. I am not saying the current president is perfect, because congress is making sure he could not be at every turn they get, even if he wanted to. What I am saying is that I would not even think twice about voting for a guy/girl that has been rejected by their own party more times than you can "shake your stick at."
All these commercial and printed material from the millions being raised allows for back biting, slander, rumors, and sometimes a racially charged atmosphere does nothing but give candidates bragging rites and continually shows that our gov't doesn't truly care whether we sink or swim, all they care about is keeping this country from moving forward.
