My anti-political tirade…

I’ll probably lose a score of followers but this is something I need to say.

Someone mentioned that I should take a minute and learn about politics… as a 40 year old, college educated, gainfully employed father and intelligent individual I resent that you assume I don’t know about politics. Believe me, I know politics and my belief is simple… it’s all bullshit.  In the grand scheme of things, regardless of your political affiliation and societal beliefs, politics is nothing more than a game between two wealthy adversaries with no regard to the everyday issues of common people. 

I am completely apolitical, I am neither a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, etc. because as history has proven, this country has been bought and payed for by the parties and politicians who maintain a strangle-hold on the American voters… leaving them in a position to merely pick the lesser of two evils. 

Years ago I read a great analogy regarding America’s political system… choosing between political parties is like choosing between a horse shit or a cow shit sandwich - both look horrible, both smell obscenely foul and it’s my prerogative, as an American, to not eat neither.

Regards,

Roger

  15. larabeetheband said: I agree, generally. The extremists of both parties have taken over the social and economic policies of their respective parties. I do, however, find the hard-core Republicans to be more mean spirited and less objective in their positions.
