 Political and Social Commentary By Dave Satre
Change Parties Every Election --- Until Somebody Gets it Right!
 
The Game

I've been saying this for years. Our political system, from local to national, is conclusively corrupt. When politicians talk about a candidate who lacks experience, what they really mean is --- he doesn't know how "the game" is played.

The vast majority of politicians are corrupt. They're in it for the power and the under-the-table money. Self serving, egocentric, power mad and greedy. We have a woman, Meg Whitman, running for governor here in California. She's filthy rich and has already spent around $180 million of her own money on a primary campaign. This is to get a job that pays about $233 thousand a year...........

The system itself corrupts politicians. Some of them actually run for office with good intentions of doing well for the country and the people, but the minute they arrive in Washington they are made aware of the realities. They are mostly money raisers. Their job is to spend the vast majority of their time out beating the bushes, making speeches at fund raisers, etc. There's little time or energy left to actually do anything for the good of the people.

I say Throw the Bums Out. Vote Against Incumbent Politicians. Abandon party loyalties. The two-party system has been the downfall of our founding fathers' vision of democracy. If you know a politician who actually wants to do the right thing, vote for him/her. But, they're hard to find. Otherwise, vote against anybody in office. Keep turning them over until they realize the only way to get re-elected is to do a good job!

The RIGHT TO VOTE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!
The People can Overrule the Plutocracy
The masses hold 99 percent of the vote but don't use it
