I am so FRIGGING (insert word of YOUR choice instead) tired of the blame the other guy/party approach to politics that is epidemic in this country!
The attitude in Washington is simply an indicator of a much deeper problem in this country. The people in the Tea Party blame Washington for their lack of responsible voting and holding their elected officials responsible to carry out their campaign promises, over the last 20 years.
The people in the Occupy Wall Street movement blame successful people for having the drive & ethic to get off their asses and do some work, and be willing to make the sacrifices that got them down the path to success.
The Republicans blame the Democrats, the Democrats blame the Republicans, the President blames both because both parties figure he is worthless…. and we get screwed.
It is just barely unacceptable to take the whole lot of the current politicos in Washington out and shoot them so we have to find a solution. Mine is a third Party. I used to register as an independent until I realized that gave me no say in who was nominated for the Presidency. So now I change my affiliation as necessary to make my voice heard. Registering independent is an illusion. You are still faced with the same limited choices and in itself it becomes an excuse…”It’s not my fault neither party can put up a decent candidate!”
Well it is your fault. The independent party needs to become The Independent Party. A complete organization set up from inception to compete head on with the ponderous Elephant and the stubborn Jackass! How many of the current moderate people on both sides of the aisle would jump ship if there was a political machine that would offer them both a venue and support to voice their true feelings without having to toe a Party line?
It is time for the moderate majority to have a voice and NOT be shouted down by the LOUDMOUTH minority that control their respective parties.
Now……HOW DO WE DO IT?
