Most of us on this blog have the ability to see beyond the trash and garbage that we see in the ads. However, there are those who make their decisions based on feelings and emotions instead of logic, common sense, rational thinking and their own investigations and *they* are the targets of these ads. The process is tainted and unfair, but then that’s what has happened over the years. If we are not careful, if those of us who understand the unfair game being played do not get our friends and ourselves to the voting booths in the upcoming two elections we will spend the rest of our lives under the leadership of those voted into office by the lesser informed.

While I have been sickened by those selected to run in the most recent National elections, it is because of the tainted, dishonest and power hungry politicians on both sides of the aisle who have gotten us to where we are because of their intentional lies, distortions and misrepresentations. We dare not ignore the media as they are as corrupt as the politicians. But it is the process that allowed this. It is the process that built this country into the most powerful and successful country that ever existed or that will ever exist, which now has us spiraling downward at an ever-increasing rate.

BTK, the process that built America is now destroying her. Having said that, I will rephrase it to say that it is not the fault of the process, as the process has no agenda in and of itself, but it has allowed those who are dishonest and corrupt to use it to their advantage and “their advantage” has proven to be damaging to the very people they were supposed to be representing.

Who was it that said that our government (which was created by our process) is the worst in the world except for all the others? Well, I agree. But it is all about the process and the lack of integrity of those who have taken advantage of it.

God, help us all!!

Excellent post Others will disagree with me.
