Well, here we go again, another election and I still have not heard one intelligent remark by any of the candidates who participated in any of the debates regarding current events. In fact, the debates resembled a "mud slinging" contest more than anything.
I have heard stupid comments made by one candidate regarding whether an opponent is a true Christian. I would like to make a suggestion to Gov. Perry that he review the history of the Mormon Church, also known as: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The governor also brings up the accusations towards another opponent made by different women several years ago regarding sexual comments/acts. I take these allegations seriously, but also feel they were made several years ago and thus should not be brought up in a public forum at this time. It seems to me that we, the tax payers are more interested in how the candidates feel about and will try to solve problems that our nation face in the present day, such as the elderly and Medicare for starters.
The governor also again mentioned whether President Obama was born in this country. My thoughts on that are if the governor is so naive about the boundaries of the Untied States of America, then maybe he should bow out of the race for president, go back to Texas, and take a refresher course in geography.
I would still like to see an election where both the Congress and the White House are made up of people who are there actually to serve the constituents who voted them into office. These men and women are supposed to represent America's most educated people, but it seems to me that once in office, they become self-serving. My gosh, what a novel idea. Actual elected officials who really are voted into office and use that office and their power for the "good of the people." Isn't that what Democracy is all about?
