I feel like a voice in the wilderness. Oh not that I have all of the answers, it's just that I sit here watching the news, the comments, and the idiocy. I can't help but think to myself...Do people really buy this political rhetoric?
For years now this country has been plagued with politicians who will literally say anything. Anything that they feel will get them elected. I have been a volunteer in political situations where I am absolutely baffled at the total and complete dishonesty, lack of morality, and flippant attitude towards true American citizen needs. Talking heads. Anything for the spotlight and the 'appearance' of being in charge.
Well the upcoming Presidential election seems to be no different. Again, I am appalled at the complete and total nonsense I am hearing, reading, and viewing. Here's how I see it.
The democrats have tasted blood, and they are out for the kill. They seem to be in a feeding frenzy in their desire to hold the seat of the worlds greatest power, that of the President.

The Republicans seem to be running scared. Will someone please stand up and take charge in that party? Where's the will, the leadership, the head above heads in the crowd?

It is my personal belief that the international embarrassment of being the wife of an adulterer was better than losing the meal ticket to public office. Rather than stand up, be a true independent individual and send the bum packing, she hid from the truth and prayed the American people would forget. Apparently we did. Our forgetfulness has earned her a seat in the Senate, a Presidential candidacy, and a platform to spout her tirades.
This woman and I use that term loosely is scary. Here are just a few of the problems in Hillary's past that this country better remember, and fast.
Commodity trading. Having absolutely no experience with this highly volatile industry, this woman managed to make record profits. The fact that she was being mentored by an influential corporate individual who just happened to have business before the state of Arkansas at the time (Governor Bill Clinton at the
