I Just watched the debate and feel I have a big stake in this presidential race, but since I don't live in Ohio, Florida, Colorado or Iowa, what I think doesn't really matter much. I have a competent Congressman, Michael Burgess, who is a decent man. But all the political will in a district drawn-up to assure he or someone like him will get elected is done to make him an ever more right wing supporter of the Right Wing poliitical agenda. There is no winning for him if he were to find a middle path that most of America could support.
We have a broken political system that is going to require that rich folks, poor folks and folks in the middle are going to have to sacrifice, pay more, produce more and endure some austerity to fix. Yet almost no energy is being spent by politicians telling Crockett, Mr. Deez, Roger 35 what they want us to do to make the country better. Nope, all the energy is being spent afixing blame and making us doubt the other guy. When we have leadership and common goals, Americans can put incredibe energy towards solving problems, righting wrongs and applying a lot of creativity to making this a better world. But our politicians are just presenting problems and acting like electing them is the fix, without ever coming close to presenting a plan that fixes anything.
