It's political season!!! All the votes are in!!! A big deal is being made and a new count will be reaffirmed in the morning!!! Here is how screwed up and faithless I am; I voted only for names that I did not recognize, except for DelGrosso. He was the only person I received mail from that addressed any issues and did not mention one word of smear against anyone else. Again, in the mail I received. At that point, even his beliefs didn't matter. He was the only person in any of the races who was behaving in a manner worthy of the races, or any of the positions, in my view. I fully realize that not all views are going to agree. I can vote for someone whose basic views I whole-heartedly agree with and not agree with most of their decisions. I can vote for a policy that I hate, if I think, really think, that it benefits society (rare, but not unknown). I can vote against something that I think we need, if I believe that the plan laid out is fundamentally screwed (Health-Care).They aren't going to make me happy all of the time, they won't make anyone happy all of the time, but politics is a circus at this point. When was the last time that politics was actually about the greater good of the nation? When was the last time that US Corporate Policy tried to really enforce US job creation and overseas outsourcing/production/quality restrictions? Undemocratic! Un-Capitalistic! OH! HEY! By The Way! Democracy is supposed to help to provide a basic level of expected support, if democracy is going to increasingly support programs through the publics' moneys.

So, since we did NOT receive all of the services that all of the added and "better defined" taxes, laws, Constitutional amendments, Propositions, restrictions, Agencies, Regulatories, and Educational Reforms promised over the last 100 years, or so, what have we achieved? We can not agree to have ONE, legal, expected to be learned for membership (too funny, when you consider that English is the primary second language to learn, WORLDWIDE) language in this nation. It is not a matter of racism or bias, but of a standard of communication. Home prices were/are inflated to the point of stupidity (and that still hasn't been rectified). Our education system is going down the toilet faster and faster (although 'administrative' positions seem to earn more than the ones who do the hands-on work). We have huge amounts of debt and the only answer seems to be to screw over the majority of the American people (the poorest of us) while we HAND OUT money to other countries, bribe officials, and hand elected representatives pay checks for amounts they don't deserve (and most of them don't actually need). We have some of the highest job loss numbers we have ever had, job creation is a joke, and the government believes that cutting aid to the citizenry is a good way to go!? And lately they're bitching that birth numbers are down. Yup. Them there folks on that there Capitol Hill have been doing such a good job.
