More Post Election Thoughts

   As time has passed since the election, my cynicism becomes more and more prevalent.  When I hear supposed leaders in the Republican Party bad-mouthing Mitt it sickens me to my core.

   Jindal, Gingrich, Martinez, etc… they all seem to be jumping on the bandwagon to criticize.  Interestingly I do not see what ole Mitt said that was wrong.  I am supposedly one of his 47% because I am retired military, and also on Social Security.  And yet, “I” know he was not talking about me when he made those remarks.

   Similarly when Romney made the remarks the other day about all the gifts supporters of President Obama received, he was dead on the mark.  I will say most all Presidents do the same thing, but he was right on the mark.

   I was raised to believe there is no free lunch and I have preached that to my children at many different points in their lives.  Sadly, the current spate of Republican politicians seem to have bought into the ‘give’em gifts’ syndrome.  It is going to result in mass discontent when the monies run out (and they will run out) over time.  The course we are on is unsustainable in my opinion – I have lost some of my fire as I age; I think it is the acceptance of the trajectory our country is on and knowing even my own party has seemed to accept said trajectory. 

   It is my firm belief there are very few “HONEST” politicians.  I have finally, after all these years, concluded there is very little difference between the two major parties… their goal is to get elected and stay in office, e.g. power.
