Republicans and Democrat leaders alike take power in order to serve personal achievements. The American people are being underminded by an exchange of power that must be challenged in order to preserve a functioning free democracy. by Frank Brooks

I don't know about a lot of people but I never felt comfortable with Democrats controlling congress. I remember watching Nancy Pelosi ring a bell and rant that some serious business was going to begin when she took her seat. Surely I witnessed the business of exhibition and nothing more. In the last ten years I really haven't seen Democrats choose a meaningful argument to help the American people as a whole, and I am wondering when the special interests bus is going to pull over. They can only sing that sad song so many times before you realize Democrats almost always pertain to votes and nothing serious. They try to make you think an issue is important but I have not seen anything that mattered more be taken into consideration. I thought Democrats were supposed to rescue the job market. Instead of trying to get Americans jobs they are more focused on financial assistance. The assistance they are providing does not apply to everybody, and it is on a weak note. It's nothing we haven't seen before as far as welfare, and food stamps just now it's in a different form. We are getting it in a different way, and the taxes will be the latter of it all when it is said and done. It's a giant loophole to their grand scheme of politics and nothing has really changed at all.
Republicans focus on strong values and national security especially as of late. If they didn't spend so much money they probably wouldn't have as much opposition. War is terrible and bureaucratic schemes are even worse to top it off which we see they adhere in the open. If they could eliminate that evil from their agenda they might be on to something. Maybe it would add up to good government? That would be nice after all the holes they have dug us into. We at least deserve some sort of kick back from the poor decisions this country has suffered from. Many people jumped on the Democrat ticket believing that was the best answer but really Republicans probably would have been better at handling their own mess by not jumping into drastic solutions. At least we would be on a stable playing field. Now we are on a Democrat run of desperate measures. We can see that hasn't done us a lick of good yet and we are about to see a tax increase not to curb the deficit but to pay for other ridiculous ideas. More power to the ones that like dragging us around on a chain of commitment and with our hard earned money.
We all want to see an end to this mishandled government and big thinkers come into play. Then election time rolls around and we are pushed into months of Gerrymandering. This is a security measure to control the votes. It is similar to the Electoral College if not a smaller more diverse version of it. Candidates secure as many districts as possible and change the spectrum to favor their campaign. I always believed any system in comparison only to be a divider of the two parties running. It's a little too secular for my liking but it can be defeated by strong campaigning. The trick would be to convince the people there is more than one way or even two ways to run an effective government. You just have to worry about voters leaning too far to the left or the right. It's just a matter of when the American people are going to wise up and quit letting big government push them in the back room when they are ready to take office.
Out of all the big talking, campaigning elitists I would say Obama took everybody for granted. He led everyone into believing he was this huge escape vessel from our poorly operated government. People need to look before they leap when they consider what causes bad politics. What isn't being noted is that dispute causes problems worse than any. Our house which was Democrat in Majority was playing tug of war with a Republican president. So then Obama gets elected and they all jump on the same sled for a ride downhill passing every law they can to get attention. To our disadvantage these laws they are passing are for the governments benefit and not the peoples. How does passing more laws amend freedom? In fact that is the opposite of the point and we are fitting the bill against ourselves. We just keep letting them get away with whatever they want and nobody is standing up for us. The controlling factor is too strong to argue the point. You can say no a million times and that does not change the opinion of the aggressor. They will push every bill and law onto the table they can in order to sustain control. This is when our government is in reckless abandon of their services to the people. When we have the right to vote nationally on every serious issue is the day we will see exactly what we want to happen. Presidents really are not doing their jobs anymore. They sign a bunch of papers, put on extravagant speeches, and do what they feel like. This is a corrupt form of leadership and we need to change our political process all together. Why we pertain to a democracy that behaves like a feudal system is a mystery?
