Happily In The Middle Politically And Tired Of The Lemmings
I must say that in recent weeks, following the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, I have felt more and more proud of the fact that I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am an Independent and happy to be unaffiliated with any party and it’s followers that resorts to finger-pointing and name calling and brainwashing of the masses — and trust me, it’s clear to me that both parties are on those bandwagons with their lemmings.
I’m so tired of the websites and the people who think that all Democrats are evil and all Republicans are angels or vice versa.
Guess what? None of them are innocent. Guess what? There’s scandals on both sides.
And I’m tired of Republicans who think that nothing their politicians could do be worse than a former President having consensual sex in the White House and then lying about it in public like any red-blooded American male would. I’m tired of Democrats who keep whining about Bush stealing the election in 2000.
Guess what? The Republicans have had plenty of their own sex scandals and plenty of them denied and covered up. Guess what? There’s nothing we can do about the 2000 election. Bush finished those four years. They’ve gone. Past.
In fact, all of that is past.
I’m just plain tired of it all…and possibly it’s frustration about what’s going on in my childhood hometown. I’m tired of watching the mess get worse while politicians in both parties play games and try to blame each other for everything, including the Original Sin…and their lemmings are right there on the bandwagon, spouting what they are sure are truths and denying their party’s fault in anything. What I’d like to find is someone on either side who can admit that their party and their politicians are not perfect and in fact, give equal reporting to the bad things their party does as well as the bad things the other party does.
