PROMISES, LIES AND POLITICS
October 29, 2008 4:07 pm EDITORIALPoliticians do the following every 4 years…1).promise to clean up “Washington” and give power back to the people, 2)make the rich cats pay more, and give the little guys a tax break without raising taxes, 3) giving in to terrorists or other bad guys, and 4) depending on the audience, promising more for the Jews,Hispanics or other hyphen-Americans who want a piece of the pie…..all without shafting those pesky white voters.
These are promises only to get elected….some would sell their families to get that power….so we should know most lie and distort the truth for their own good, call each other names, cheat, steal and do whatever it takes to WIN!!!
Once more…. … if we do not remember the past…we are doomed to repeat it?
We Christians are usually pro-Republican because of 2 key issues…but don’t be deceived or shocked to find that behind closed doors all candidates are “POLITICIANS”regardless of the benign masks they wear. Isn’t it interesting that Halloween and election day are so close together on the calendar?
The President has only the power that Congress gives him and the first major controversial issue will likely be followed by a cry for impeachment. or worse a committee called to investigate…….Supreme court judges often vote very different than their past records indicate and the newer ones take a long time to draft opinions or take public stands (more protocol than belief based)…so that often brings us to split votes on important issues. Congress needs to be totally recalled, and we could flip coins and get a better reps! How in the name of sanity did they ever get the right to vote on their own salaries??
God does know what the country needs and deserves (which should make us quake and be prepared for a rough ride). What can we do? Pray like you have never prayed before….and never forget that while we can make a small difference…there is only one God, and his name neither starts with an O or M……..and that is where our focus and priority should always be every day of every year…but especially on November 4, 2008.
