Dear friends, this blog serves as notice to you and the world that I plan to run for office every November from now until I\u2019m too old to do so any longer.\u00a0 Now just in case you\u2019re wondering, I don\u2019t know what office I am running for, but rather let you the people decide the best place for me to serve.\u00a0 I will accept your vote for anything from Dog Catcher all the way up to President or anything between those two worthy offices.\u00a0 When you stop laughing, you should start to think about my qualifications,\u00a0especially\u00a0against many of those currently running our government at all levels and I know that once you do that, you will come to the conclusion that I am certainly better qualified for those jobs than most of our current politicians are.\u00a0 Now because I know that in America we like politicians who make all sorts of promises and lay out what they will do in office, i offer you the following.<\/p>\n
My Platform<\/b><\/p>\n Ok, so now that you know the basics of my platform, let me assure you that if you\u2019re rich I promise not to ever raise your taxes or implement any policy that cost you more money.\u00a0\u00a0 For my less fortunate constitutes, I promise you lots of free stuff just like you like it and despite my pledge to the rich, your free stuff won\u2019t cost you a single penny.\u00a0 Yep, that\u2019s right I\u2019m going to make sure that I help the poor and disenfranchised while shielding the rich from higher taxes, and you should believe that because after all you can trust me because you voted for me, and I represent you and only you. <\/b><\/p>\n Friends, I have no intention of running for any office, but I wanted to write this as a demonstration of how foolish we all are to think that the people we vote for have any interest in representing any of us, unless of course you happen to be one of those lucky few who truly have the money to get your local, state or federal politician\u2019s attention.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, we can participate in the process by putting up signs, getting petitions signed and encouraging our friends and neighbors to vote for the smuck that we currently believe in.\u00a0 You may even be able to have what you consider a meaningful conversation with one of these folks, but make no mistake, if you don\u2019t have cash or check in hand, they didn\u2019t hear a single word!<\/p>\n As I watch the fiasco happening in Washington and in state houses around the country, I can\u2019t help but wonder when the dis-function will end?\u00a0 It seems more and more that no matter what you or I believe, we\u2019ve elected a bunch of ego maniacs who care more about winning their personal political battles than doing what we elected them to do.\u00a0 The question now becomes: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m just sayin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear friends, this blog serves as notice to you and the world that I plan to run for office every November from now until I\u2019m too old to do so any longer.\u00a0 Now just in case you\u2019re wondering, I don\u2019t … Continue reading \n
