The whole system is fucked up and corrupted....its not just the Right or Left. Ted Kennedy in a interview about a year before he passed away was asked "What is the difference between government & Politics now, to when your brother JFK was in office?"...he said 1 word, "money!".....That is not about the people and their well being, its about who has the most money, and who can make deals to get re-elected.
Eric Cantor today came out blasting Dems were using the violence headlines to gain politcal advantages....But look at the fucking dude from Texas who shouted "baby killer" the other day, and about 24 hours after his Baby Killer shout out, he was selling T-Shirts with his Baby Killer quote on them to raise money for his campaign.....Its just beyond ridiculous!
in the News media, the problem is they are ONLY covering the "juicy" news and not the real issues that effect peoples lives......No News media outlet ever clearly stated what the Health Bill does...NONE...NOT ONE! Thats why a lot of Americans dont like the Bill...they dont understand it, they dont know what it does....And they arent going to go online and read the 3 million or whatever pages of the bill...Both sides fucked this up...Dems couldnt explain the bill, Repubs couldnt explain it either and offered no other solutions. so they rely of scare tactics and lies to gain political support.
I Dont really care about Fox vs. CNN or whatever....they both gear themselves to their audiences, its obvious...But not even local News could explain anything in simple terms...and thats what needs to be done, explain in simple terms...One of my beefs about Obama is that yes he can write a beautiful speech, but so many people dont understand what hes saying because its just too hard for them to understand....I think Clinton and Regan were much better at explaining things in their speeches...people understood them....I wish Obama would talk a little more simply.
the Medicare people, most dont know or realize its a Government run program...they dont understand it...they just know they have the coverage when the reach a certain age....Because watching a lot of Town Halls when older people are told that "do they realize their Medicare is Government run", they act shocked and some dont even believe it....they think they are being lied to and they dont get it....and just the words "raise taxes" scares people to death....doesnt matter if the taxes being raised only to Millionaries or people makeing 250k....the words "raising taxes" is a sin in a lot of people minds....most of these people at the town halls on medicare arent making 250k....not even close...so they got no idea....
And if you are making 250k or more it would be nice to be Patriotic and help out your fellow Americans who are making far less in this brutal economy...Thats what a lot of our forefathers envisioned we could do when this country was built....it was about "We the People"...not "I the individual".....We are supposed to help each other when we can....
And then when the government bailed out banks and businesses last year they were all screaming about this is wrong...But when their checks came in the mail, i didnt see one person give them back....Governors were threatening they wouldnt accept the money like Bobby Jindal of Louisiana...but when the checks came, he took them...
so its all Hypocrisy....both sides are drowning just drowning in Hypocrisy.
