Finally

It has been quite some time since I have written in here. Not because I haven't had anything to say, but more because I have been busy or my motivation wasn't there. This morning, I have a little motivation, so will probably not be anything special.

Ok. I don't know about you, but although I have strong opinions about my political stand on issues, I do get very irritated about all the political ads on TV and radio. I don't care which side placed the ad or what point or attack it is trying to make. This year was the worst. When we were living in Phoenix, the worst part was all the signs. You coldn't go down any street with out seeing countless signs telling you to vote for this candidate or that one or to vote for or agains this or that proposition. They were everywhere. And then after the election, they took forever to take them all down. So they started fining candidates for every sign that was left up after a certain date. Of course it didn't work very well. But as far as radio and tv ads, there weren't that many...even right up to and the day of the election. But, here in Missouri, there seemed to be more air time given to political ads than actual programming. Watching a 30min sitcom there were probably 20 min political attack ads and 10 min. of actual show. The worst collection of ads that I ever saw from both sides. I knew there was a reason that I hate politions. There there seemed to be 100 times more mud slinging here than in Phoenix. Is it the part of the country or was it particular to this election? I don't know and don't care.

On thing that this election confirmed for me is the difference between liberals and conservatives. It seems ok for liberals to attack and attack and sling mud and incorporate that into their SOP (standard operating procedure for those of you who tried real hard in school but were just too stupid and had to became liberals). It is ok for them to stoop so low with their attacks and then pat themselfs on the back for doing a good job. But when a conservative puts up a similar ad, they are chastised for being hateful, uncaring, mean mudslingers. It is this type of crap that makes me hate liberals, not just that they don't care about anyone but themselves and power.

An article in the Kansas City Star titled "I'm positive about this: We all lost" the writer,Greg Clark, says:

"...so many candidates not only forgot their manners, they forgotthat they were seeking office as public servants. Theyforgot that servanthood means working for somebody else. It means personal sacrifice. It means honoring the best interests of citizens. Can anybody explain how listening to a months-long barage of attack ads is in the interest of anybody?"

and he goes on to say: "...instead of servanthood, the big candidatesbowed to the three M's: Muscle, money,and mud. They forgot the fourth M: Morality."

Morality...something severly lacking in politics. Especialy Dems and libs.

He hit the nail on the head. And I don't think it will ever change unless politicos...especially liberals...start really caring about this great country and its great people instead of themselves and the power they lust after.

This is One Man's Opinion but I wish more had this view.
