Senators and Representatives serve two different purposes, one serves the legal and legislative aspects to governance while the other serves the fiduciary aspects to governance; but what they share in common is that neither are allowed to vote or make decisions based on psychic premonitions. Neither are they allowed to logically vote or make decisions upon anything that isn't already admitted into evidence.
Sure, when it came time to vote to give the fairly new President Bush, a little more power in case we had to go to war, most of us screamed, "This isn't a good idea." Some were against giving him more power because they felt war was the prime objective and thought nothing good ever comes out of war. Other's saw it as giving a crazy man too much power. Others thought about his past failures in his father's vested interests (the Carlyle Group), and said, "Oh, no way are you gonna give this monkey more power," while still others claimed to have premonitions about this President of real and lasting change. Even Michael Moore spouted on Larry King Live that "1 million Americans knew...." a lot of things, most especially that we would be going to war in Iraq. It was far more than a million people that knew this to set the record straight, but the Senate and the Representatives are only allowed to vote according to the evidence presented to them and that evidence was fudged as are many documents that come across their tables, including writs of trade violations which won't be discussed at this time.
We hear Obama going after Clinton because she made certain votes he wouldn't have had he been given the chance. Another armchair quarterback? In the Senate, the only senator who pushed a fit in the vote was Senator Feingold and he is now labeled a radical liberal. Of course, in the House of Reps, there was Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee, but they saw far different documents than did the senate and their vote was the authorization to go to war while the senate was to give the commander in chief more power.
I'd say that's enough change for this decade and I offer that what we need now are solutions to those changes. From No Child Left Behind to the Abstinence Policies, both foreign and domestic; from the Clear Skies to Clean Water initiatives; from Afghanistan to Iraq, and our sanctions and blocks against Canada due to our lack of insight when it came to Free Trade Agreements, and how it affected our lumber industry; well, what we need more than change are some good SOLUTIONS!
The question is this. Who has what it takes to look at the overall picture, the hunters or the gatherers? I say to you that this is the time for gatherers to lead us because they see the overall picture and have been relegated to doing all the grunt work in order for hunters to bring in the kill. So, you can vote for the Vegetarian Black Hunter, the Older POW Hunter, or the Seasoned Gatherer (a female-shhhhh).
People say it is Obama's time that our country is ready for a black man. I find this to be a silly argument. Other's say he'll be more benevolent because he is a vegetarian and everyone knows how aggressive meat eaters are: this is silly too. They say that Hillary is a woman and that women need to wait for African Americans to gain momentum before the woman can have their voice that it has always worked that way. I say this is preposterous. Some say McCain, being a POW is going to help us navigate from Iraq into Iran and that we must need this because everyone is talking about it. I just have to scream, "WTF?"
I'm tired of waiting for our voice to be heard. Obama and Mc Cain are both men and men have always led this country. It is time for a woman to do so and right now, living amongst us, is the most capable woman to do this job and she could do it better than any of the men did, including her own husband, and that woman is Hillary Clinton. You folks want to elect a vegetarian? He is a young man, so vote for him in 2016. The woman is getting older and I doubt America is willing to vote for an older woman over a younger woman because we are a nation of racists, sexists and ageists. That's all I'm going to say about this for now.
Gatherers or Hunters? You decide.
