One More Week of Television Torture

Have you grown as weary of the television campaign ads as I have? We have been literally bombed with these ads and everyone says basically the same thing about the opposition. Everyone of the these people running for office have our best interest at heart and they are going to work for you and me or have been working for you and me.I can smell garbage and theirs ads stink. A more true ad from the incumbent would be to show his or her voting record and perhaps some of their speeches, you could understand where they stand. The challenger could present in an intelligent manner that is understandable to the voters what he or she would do and how they would vote or would have voted on the same issues.
The other side of the coin, is that the American public which could start voting what is best for the entire country instead of their own little state or district. For example many states elect Congress based on if that Congressman can bring Federal contract jobs to their state. "I will get that road or bridge built for you." It is time for this kind of politics to be put behind us. We should vote considering what is best for our entire nation, there are hard decisions to be made and we need men and women of strong character, who will put the good of America ahead of what is good for their district. These people used to be called statesmen/women. The American citizen needs to put the good of our country ahead of ourselves. What do you mean? So glad you ask.
Freedom always works, the Constitution was written with a Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence refers to rights endowed by man's Creator. What the government gives the government can take away, but God gives us life, liberty and the right to pursue happiness. The men who wrote these papers well knew that freedom was the answer and they put the good of the nation ahead of personal gain. Thomas Jefferson could have returned to his plantation and lived a life of easy, yet he committed his life to keeping America free. John Adams could have returned to private law practice and lived out his years, yet he chose to lead the fledging nation of America as the second President. Jefferson became the third President to lead the country he help begin, a study of history reveals that these men were statesmen, not local political minded men.
Where are the statesmen today? I don't know of anyone who would subject themselves to the news media examination to run for office. Good people make mistakes and the news media will drag any little mistake into the public and make it larger than life. Statesmen, if you are out there please step up.
Vote freedom this year.
