I’ve really been enlightened this election year to many things but what has impacted me the most is that politicians are not in the business of telling us what we need to know, but rather what they want us to know so they will get elected. We seem to have become an oppressive society where our opinions are shut down by politicians who think they have better ideas than us. I know that myself and others I discuss politics with say they don’t feel represented. I wonder if it is because intelligent, qualified people don’t seek public office? or do we as voters not choose the best qualified for the job? or has it come down to the one with the most money wins regardless of their qualifications?
I’m beginning to think real issues are not sexy enough, at a time when we should be discussing real policy that affects our future, those running for office spend millions of dollars bashing their opponent! Come on, where will this bad behavior end, when will the voters say enough is enough!!
I know this election has brought up more questions than answers for me – how about you? Send me your comments ….
