In a word, yes!
Unlike business, Government is of the people for the people and by the people.
Those in Government were to be there for a short period and then return to the Farms or Businesses to help the Country prosper.
To many Government officials and employees have decided that their jobs are "for life" and they alone should select their successor. This has led to the worst corruption in modern history, the biggest raid on the people's Treasury in human history, and the lowest drop for American in the status of just about everything imaginable throughout the world.
- Hillary? Would work with the system to make the system work the way she wants it to work.
- Giuliani? Doesn't have a clue. If it weren't for 9-11 he'd be doing guest shots on the Gilmore Girls.
- Huckabee? A good choice for America, but not he best choice. Anyone who puts that much emphasis on his/her religious beliefs and uses it in the campaign, has a screw loose somewhere.
- McCain? Love the guy. Hate the politician. It isn't the world-war 2 era, "Defense Spending" was the manta of the 1970s (USSR no longer exists John) and Iraq is and was a mistake. Sorry, you're a great guy otherwise.
- Romney? He is in reality what the Republicans had fear-mongered the John Kerry candidate as being "Flip flopper".
- Thompson? Why is it that people believe actors can do in real life what they do on TV? Can Superman really fly? Can Capt. Kirk travel back in time by going faster than warp speed? Sure, but the folks who play those characters can not do that in real life.
- Ron Paul? A good choice for America, but I think he's a bit too late to the party. Where was he when Bush Sr. ran for his second term or Bush Jr. his second term?
- Richardson? A great guy, hopefully he'll get a cabinet position in whomever is elected.
Obama's campaign reminds me of Bobby Kennedy's. While I was a bit young to remember it, the shocking end to Bobby's run for the White House will be stuck in my mind forever.
This candidate of 2008 is the hope for this nation to rebuild itself. We need younger as well as experienced people fixing our nation. It needs to be fixed after all, we are failing at most everything. And if you don't realize that, you're not paying attention, and if you don't believe it or simply don't want to believe it, then you have other issues to resolve.
