By points I meant the fact that politician are trying to get our vote all the time. It happens with my local politicians. They try to score points with me. They try to impress me with all the things they have done or plan to do so that I will vote of them. That is what I mean.
About the Katrina point... that is when you reminded me of my friend - the master of detail, he knows everything - 3 days prior to the weekend when the army finally went in in force with all the helicopters picking up people.. he was convinced Bush had nothing to do with it...again details and more details... this was a state problem and the president did not to...etc etc etc. I told him, Bush better show his a** there, somehow and quickly or he will pay the price....because regardless of the details and technicalities, he by virtue of being the president, HAS A RESPONSABILITY to have done something in helping out those in Katrina, as he finally did. I was of course delighted when I saw the army in all its splendor doing a fantastic job helping those people over there... still, look at all the flack that Bush from that one. See, I am convinced we have entered into a new era of politics. I think it's because of the Internet mainly, that people can get together, organize themselves, just like we do here, apply more pressure where is needed, etc, etc. The "new media" as is called pay attention to what we say on boards like this.. after all we are the regular Joes, who can give them a feel for what is goin on. But one you are right, I am not one knows about rules, regulations, laws, etc... but one thing I know, I know politicians and what they are about :)
Take care.
Your thoughtful reply is much appreciated. It makes a lot of sense.
Sorry,I tend to preach at people. It's an old bad habit.
I mean well. Being a big brother is not always easy.
What you say about the internet is probably true. There is a place for regular citizens here...not everybody has a Phd these days... and we are not blind to the silly games politicians are playing. We need our feelings heard and responded to.
Bush is our guy, for some time to come. We need to work with this administration to get the best for our country. (As bad as things are, imagine for one second how bad it all would be if Kerry or Gore were in office today)....Ay Caramba!
