Is anyone else tired of politics?
I am.
I'm sick of it. I just got done reading about the Democrat-led closed session of the Senate that happened today.
That was the cherry on top. The straw that broke the camel's back.
In a time where we've faced some very real crises (war, natural disasters, economic crises), you'd think leaders would find a way to unite and solve problems rather than divide and create more.
It's one scandal after another. One reported failure after another. Attempt after attempt to lay blame for the world's problems on any number of individuals. Bickering over supposed wrongdoings that most people didn't even know (or care) was wrongdoing in the face of so many bigger problems.
Was the Katrina response lacking? Yes. Was the info that led to the Iraq war faulty? Yes. Is a CIA security leak bad? Yes.
And these issues need to be dealt with. The people who are responsible need to be dealt with so that things like this don't happen in the future.
But all this stuff I'm reading about...it's not about problem-solving. That would be a good thing. What I see is partisan "posturing": Democrats and Republicans alike using current crises to advance their own political agendas. The Bush administration is hurting, so, naturally, it seems like the Democrats just want to finish it off. Like a witch-hunt for conservatives. Even the rumors about Bush that flew after Katrina hit (i.e., he didn't repond because he's a racist) throw insult to injury when a nation's hurting enough already. Never mind how all this is screwing things up even more.
I've heard radio shows lately, too, that indicated that Republicans aren't playing nice, either, though.
This is my plea to our government...our leaders: Enough is enough. The average American is facing enough already. Quit using crises like hurricanes, wars, or scandals to advance your own selfish political agendas.
Be honest. We like honest leaders. Enough scandals. Enough lining your pockets. Enough hogging the spotlight. Enough blame. Enough partisanship. Enough with the witch hunts. Enough with corruption.
I want to see all sides quit crucifying each other. As an average American, I think it's safe to say - for many of us - that we're sick of the bickering. We're sick of the posturing. We're sick of smear campaigns. We're sick of the lack of cooperation (a cooperation that was so refreshing when we saw it right after 9/11).
Is it even possible that you guys could work the problems without creating so many more?
Enough already.
