The weight of politics has become too heavy. There is not a day that goes by where we can avoid ANYTHING having to do with our government. Government, itself, should have the role of a stage producer. In the background, the glue that enables the total unity to adhere as one. Our government has failed in that concept. Rather than a stage hand, they have morphed into the STAR of the show. If we don’t pay attention, we will be swept into unknown territory, ruled by tyrants which were voted into office only because of our inattention. Needless to say, McCain and Romney votes cast was only due to the fact the alternative would have been the harlot.

Due to the changing of the primary calendar, the campaign is now never ending and even more of a weight. Does it ever stop? A nation should never need to have constant debate in the choosing of leadership. The electorate tires and possibly becomes bored in their attempt to keep abreast.

YES, POTUS-VSG DJT was the first vote actually cast for a man who was decidedly given this vote. He was the one voted for; not necessarily due to the fact there was an opponent to vote against.

Thankful that at least one vote was used in a positive manner, rather than voting against my entire life.

Great, let's keep this Stacey Abrams thread alive till the next time we kick her fat a$$ in an election!

OK, VK.  You outed yourself as a disciple of the negative vote.  Good, it's because you think like Ben Franklin who said at the Constitutional Convention:

"You've got a Republic, as long you can keep it!" 

Or at least that was the version spoken by Eli Wallach in that short 15-minute film shown at Philadelphia Independence Hall twenty years ago where he played the part of old Ben.

This was before digital media and the film had been shown so many times per day that the visual quality of the film had faded making Eli look as ugly as he did in his role in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly :- )

A footnote from Wikipedia:

Wallach graduated in 1936 from the University of Texas with a degree in history.  In a later interview, Wallach said that he learned to ride horses while in Texas, adding that he liked Texas because "it opened my eyes to the word friendship."  He explained, "You could rely on people. If they gave you their word, that was it ... It was an education."

Wallach's was drafted into the U.S. Army in January 1941.  He served as staff sergeant in a military hospital in Hawaii and later sent to Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Abilene, Texas to train as a medical administrative officer.

Commissioned a second lieutenant, he was ordered to Casablanca.  Later, when he was serving in France, a senior officer noticed his acting career and asked him to create a show for the patients.

He and his unit wrote a play called Is This the Army?, which was inspired by Irving Berlin's This Is the Army.  In the comedy, Wallach and the other actors mocked Axis dictators, with Wallach portraying Adolf Hitler.

What a patriot and a helluva guy!  God bless Texas.
