Recapture that feeling from your youth.<BR/><BR/>Ross was/is a nutcase. He got in and spoiled then-incumbent President George H.W. Bush's chance for re-election in a personal vendatta. Bill Clinton won the election with 43% of the popular vote. Problems were compounded. <BR/><BR/>FWIW I vote in an independent fashion. I consider the two major parties to be racketeering influenced corrupt organizations that should be dealt with as such.<BR/><BR/>You are quite correct. These guys say what they have to say to get elected and once in, do what they want or feel they can get away with.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't mean we should give up on expecting a smaller government to function more efficiently. One of our biggest problems is apathy. Have a little idealism there Jack!<BR/><BR/>Our nation has been run by old school politicians my entire life. In that time we've let our wealth-creating manufacturing & materials industries go straight down the drain. The service economy tends to concentrate wealth so then politicians feel they must legislate income redistribution.<BR/><BR/>I seriously doubt if McCain or Obama ever held a real job where they actually had to do something productive (in an economic sense). They are clueless and regardless of which one is elected, their Presidency will be a difficult one.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for turning the reins of Presidential power over to a woman, an African-American, or even a native-born Austrian for that matter!<BR/><BR/>We've had decades of predictable action from conventional politicians and the unholy mess we have today is the result. Enough already.<BR/><BR/>73<BR/><BR/>KA3TGVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
