You know sometimes I am so tempted to say what's the use! As a citizen who really worries about America's future, I want to find a person who is truly conservative among the Republicans who has a real chance to beat President Obama, because I don't like the economic path the country is following right now. As important as this concern may be I have a greater concern that troubles me even more. What good is it to vote a politician into office when you discover all too often, they are just as underhanded as the person you just voted out of office?
Consider this Newt Gingrich says, he wants to run a totally positive campaign. I think it is certainly underhanded to have your voting record distorted just to gain political advantage. At the same time however, just to have any chance to win the Republican nomination, Speaker Gingrich, has almost no choice but to go negative against Mitt Romney. Keep in mind, whoever the Republican Presidential nominee turns out to be, he is going to need the political support of the very fellow candidates he is running against right now. thus when the race for the the Republican nomination is over then they will all act like the are all the best of friends.
Has winning in politics become so important that the method or tactics you use doesn't matter? Then, if you decide that this is the case it is no longer a mater of who is a better person among the Republicans or the Democrats just who is most effective politician. One is left to wonder can any one be a good and basically decent and moral person and a politician at the same time considering the nature of politics in America today? Sometimes, I think, it's not a matter of who is the best candidate between the two major parties, but rather, who is the lessor of two evils. Thus, I find I am still left to ask the question, can you ever really trust a politician? as always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
