Well Norm...the whole election system is pretty messed up. Too much money changes hands and to many “other” reasons people run for office , seems the last thing is a sincere desire to serve the country and it’s people.
We know it’s a fast track to wealth with all the inside information they have access to....and wealth means power. Plus it’s a pretty much a cushioned job.
I think it better said than “No one won anything” is no matter who wins they have to compromise in order to get some of what we want because that’s how it’s working now. Obam’s a perfect example when there is no compromise....and there is none because he thinks he’s King and has no skill in getting Congress to work with him.
“Obam’s a perfect example when there is no compromise”
Actually no. Obama is the definitive result of compromise. People were going to go with the lesser evil to win. We told them that their lesser (really no so lesser afterall ad history shows) evil was going to lose. But they knew better.
Instead of standing firm on principle, many many millions compromised principles, ethics, pride, reputations...you name it. And what they got in return was a loss, Obama and a GOP that now openly sides with democrats, compromising even more.
Conservatives compromised everything that defined a conservative and now we all fight a rearguard battle trying to rebuild from the massive damage compromise caused.
