While sitting around with my gorgeous wife Mary watching BBC America - Home Page, we were engaged in a conversation that I am sure is being played out in almost every household these days. Politics/politicians, oil/gasoline, Dems/Republicans and who is to blame for what. Without getting into specifics, I must say, "we do have opposing views on some of this gar-bage." And, we both have valid arguments to support our view.
However, much of the differences people have in "politics" comes down to party lines, Democrats vs Republicans. THIS, is the root of alot of the dissension. Instead of two parties, that are both screwed up, why don't we just have "common sense" representatives. If YOU need vote designation groups, they can be "the informed" and "the uninformed". An example could be, "the folks that voted for the oil companies excessive profits tax" could be "the uninformed". The folks that voted against it could be "the informed". Is taxing the "excessive", supposedly, profits going to put more oil on the market at a reasonable price? NOT! Is giving the oil companies incentives to explore new alternatives and explore for new oil reserves, i.e. the Russians, going to help YOUR situation with gasoline etc.? Probably!
The hell with what party does what or is what or is called what. What we need is some people with some innate "common sense". Preferably now and not later!
VP'S
While having a number of conversations with people from Kentucky, Vancouver, Belgium, New York and Indiana and Orlando, the general consensus of these folks was, their presidential choice, at this point, will depend on who the candidates select as vp. That is how poorly both of our presidential candidates are looked upon. if the vp choices suck, then most of these people, as well as myself, will either do a write in vote, or, NOT VOTE AT ALL! As of June 11, 2008, "nuff said"!
