I am about where you are. Lawyer politicians are trained liars. And the Bible thumpers could care less about the Constitution... And some of these bible thumpers support the mass invasion of Obama’s illegals.
Trump has been to me an education in how the business world works. Not one of the candidates who need big donors can be honest about who they are. All their words sound like they came from the same speechwriter.
Republicans since Reagan with a couple of exceptions have done nothing to stop the destruction of the middle class. I am not nearly as angry at Obama as I am with the likes of Boehner and Ryan. Obama told his intentions right up front and the republicans wrote out his checks.
Thank you for the welcome Justmythoughts.
“Not one of the candidates who need big donors can be honest about who they are.”
And this is the rub isn’t it. Their colors only come out after they are elected.
I am a registered dem because I have to be. My union ensures that I will get the crappiest workers on job site (IF they even send any), I will NOT get certain contracts, or I will get my chain jerked every chance I get if I don’t buy the “insurance policy” which is to be a registered dem and play their game.
Now, this is not to say this doesn’t happen with Republicans, it does, but the majority of my work comes from Chicago and Cook Co. Illinois. In the suburbs of Chicago, I run into the exact same thing with the Republican mayors, or Village Trustees, or whatever.
It is different names, the same game. They all want money. I used to get hopeful that finally “a new so and so” was elected. But after all my years of doing this, I realize it’s all the same, only the names change. Even the faces start to look the same, they wear the same suits, drive the same cars, live in the same looking homes, and even have the same haircut and handshake.
With either party I have to support all of their causes as well (it varies from party to party, but almost all white town leaders force me to give to United Way, and that is a cesspool of corruption all it’s own). Black town leaders always want me to support a cause that happens to be run by a relative. I guess I’m a racist to notice that, good thing no one knows my real name, because that is the kiss of death around here.
I found this site and others after trying to find more information on Trump on the internet. I am amazed and I’m going to be insulting here I guess, that on both sides, the same rhetoric is still working. The dem sites spout that they need YOUR money to battle the evil republicans because they are going to cut off social security and medicare and the repubs want YOUR money because they will end abortion.
I tell you as I told another website, you are being played fools, these politicians don’t give a crap about either issue, they want your money, and if there is profit in it for them, they will keep the issues going for another 5 centuries.
BTW, I had to think back, in my original post I said I hadn’t voted since Reagan, that’s not true, I did vote for the first Bush, but swore off repubs again after “Read My Lips No New Taxes” I knew we were back to politics as usual, and I said I would never vote again, but then Perot came along and I voted for him.
That was my last vote. This year, I may vote again if Trump wins the nomination, otherwise, why bother. Like I said, they are all the same, horses of a different color.
I would have never even got involved with posting on political websites or bulletin boards or whatever this is, but we have a socialist actually running and he has a chance to win the presidency, where has this country gone? I’m almost 70 years old, what the hell US of A are my grandkids going to live in? This is nuts. How far we have fallen.
