Who Wins?

The fight goes on, and it's gotten more dirty and brutal. Deplorable as the mud-slinging and lies are during voting "season", the fact that our government has become so terribly ineffective of late is quite distressing.

Now, my goal here is not to post anything of a political nature, but every day I read more about he-said-she-said-he-said-she-said nonsense that our elected political officials engage in. Apparently, nobody is telling the truth about anything, and everyone on the opposing side is less than patriotic, not a real American. 

There are good and bad on both sides, and as members of other less significant political parties as well. With less than two weeks to go until the extremely important midway elections the pandering, slandering, glib fibbing and disjointing finger-pointing has become completely out of control. Each party knows how important it is to have control of both aspects of Congress, and they're all posturing to rouse their base constituents to vote, and to try to sway the Independents to their own brand of dirty politics.

Anyone that knows me knows my affiliation, but this is not the forum for that. I don't want to engage in any political debates in my blogs, as there are plenty of other venues on line for that sort of thing. No, this is to just bring to light that we all need to take anything these power-hungry A-Type personalities have to say and investigate the veracity of their rhetoric. Regardless of our political leanings. Information is the key, and making an informed vote is imperative to ensuring that our system works how it should. Research, read, investigate the genuine facts. Get information from unbiased sources. Doveryai, no proveryai. Trust, but verify.

Finally, vote. Vote vote vote! Everyone's vote counts, everyone's. Just because you may have voted in other elections and your candidate lost, or the referendum didn't pass doesn't mean that your vote didn't mean anything. It was just our system of Government, OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people was working. If every one of you who decided not to vote for whatever reason, understand that if you want things to go the way YOU think they should, then YOU need to vote. The more YOUs that do, the better chance YOU have of your candidate being elected. Vote. When you do you'll feel great!
