Ahhh. Democracy And The Microphone.

Hi folks. I'm so happy that the Republicans won every seat in the House of Representatives and Senate. It seems that the Democrats also won all of the seats in both houses as well. How is this possible, you may ask? Oh that's easy. All you have to do is listen to the rhetoric coming from the leadership of both parties to realize they both think they're in complete control or our destiny. everybody realizes they have won either a mandate or a received a lesson and they are ready to lead based on that information. Wait a minute. Don't they realize neither party has a mandate to do anything except help to create jobs and to lead us out of this economic turmoil? Short answer - No. The Democrats are in denial and the Republicans actually think all Americans are deeply in love with them. The Fact of the matter is that the Republicans won because there wasn't a third party choice and the Democrats lost because they had two years to get started on the fix and concentrated on Health care, a worthy goal but not the most important at this time, and on other secondary goals. It is and was time to lead and there is no one now ready to actually do that. I would, but I have an appointment to have my hair dyed. I know a couple of other people who could do the job, but I'm not sure they're interested. After all, for a person who is actually capable of doing the job of leading this country, they must be willing to have a large group of unqualified people bad-mouthing them and trying to second guess them at the same time. There are two traits which this country is well blessed with; nut cases and extra smart leader types. The problem is, the nut cases always seem to be holding the microphone and the leader types really just want to lead. They don't want to have to deal with the slime they would have to crawl through to get to the leadership position. I't too bad that dictatorships are such poor alternatives. They would be great if it weren't for the dictators.
