POLITICS – A QUESTIONABLE CALLING INDEED

It must be tough to run for high political office. The higher the office, the harder it must be.

Just think, the good candidates must exaggerate what they will do, what they can do, what they want to do.
The bad candidates must lie and exaggerate about the same things.

The good and the bad. The difference is the one exaggerates and the other lies.

And the intelligent candidates know that most of their constituents do not know what the hell is going on.

The intelligent candidates can thus be said to be...hypocrits.

Of course, the above observations become more accurate when one adds the component of motivation.

The bad candidate generally has a bad, or at least a less good motive for running for office.
The good candidate will generally have the more respectable motive.

Depressing.

Imagine having to go before cheering crowds and having to either exaggerate or lie, almost always.

And when matters of high national interest are concerned, lives and physical wellbeing are often involved.
And often lives are lost and welfare sacrificed, for the greater good.

What a responsibility.

We here at The Study made phone calls yesterday on behalf of Senator McCain and a number of other Republican candidates.

We did not make many calls, about fifty or so.

We were verbally abused only a couple of times.
We had several pleasant conversations.

Most folks were not at home or their phones had been disconnected.

We were assured that the phone calling was important. We hope it is. We hope we did some good.

The economic crisis; acorn; the associations of b.o.; the msm; the wars in Asia; the disunity of the nation; the ignorance of the people; the bitterness of interest groups; and on and on. As it was once said so long ago, "These are the times that try men's souls.'

In this year of our Lord, the national dems are bad, very bad for this country.
Folks who support them are ignorant or mentally deficient and consequently are in their own way dangerous to the United States.

We are not at all sure that the Republicans know all the answers. But they sure as hell know a lot more of the good answers than the national dems.

One should make a choice. One should vote.

One should vote for the party and the candidates who will do the least harm and the most good.

The choice is, at the top of the ticket, easy.

One must vote for the national Republican Party if one is to vote intelligently.

The national dems, unchecked, will degrade national security, in all ways imagninable.

The saddest reality of this is that almost half, or more than half of the nation thinks it should vote for the national dems.

What a screwed up bunch of voters.
