so sad

So many people are are angry with the current crop of elected officials. Some are actually upset for measurable reasons, or in many cases the measureless actions by those who promised change and did not deliver. So many people who voted for 'change we can believe in', are changing their minds and for some good reason and deciding not to vote for the liars, and losers who promised more than they even intended in delivering.

So the Republican Party who systematically sat back and like tiny bacteria ate away at the fabric of good and honest have eroded the majority party (Democrats) and are now rallying troops to make change no one can believe in. So the oh so grassroots organization identifying themselves as Tea Baggers, have forgone any truth, any history, any fact and are claiming they have a crop of candidates worth electing to office, with good riddance to the current crop of liars, thieves and robbers. So the bigot, the dummy, the racist, the homophobes, the illiterate, the hateful, the scared, the God fearing, the moron has claimed the airwaves, the headlines, the highways and the lead in most elections and is assuming victory in November 2010.

So the indignant, the disappointed, the disenfranchised being diligent in their heady hubris have decided that they will not vote, for principal, for pragmatism, for purpose. And those with the ability to see right from wrong, good from bad, evil from good, hate from love, division from consensus are staying home hoping to teach a lesson to the President and his party. And well they should, as would I, IF this were not a year when the lesser of two evils is less scary than the actual EVIL.

The promises made by the President and his majority were not all kept, too many promises primed but never posted. Attempts were made, feeble and foolish at times, but words like equal, fair, justice minority, were spoken and at times attempted.

The promises made by the Tea Bag/Republican politicians, the ones who may be voted into office sound like... rape, incest hey ladies shit happens... there is no separation between church and state, what first amendment... disabled people should not work in a job if they have to climb to the second floor no one said handicap is easy... bullets will do just as well as the ballot.

Gay is bad, Muslim is bad, Mexicans are bad because they are all illegal, public education is bad and anyone wanting to make minimum wage are lazy socialists. And hey, Science sucks, Creationism rocks.

The momentum of self serving evangelicals, family values but for your family and not mine, marriage is between one man and one woman as is adultery and infidelity, God wrote the Constitution citizens is on the rise. They care little about ramifications let alone truth and they will happily vote in the bum because the bum they vote in smells, acts, and looks like them.

So the momentum from those who care about the big issues and how they affect the little people has waned and wandered and the ramifications of those actions have dire consequences. Protesting by staying home in November is not an option. Anger at the President and his party is important, but not voting them back into office permits Carly Fiorina, Christine O'Donnell, Carl Paladino, Ken Buck, John McCain, Joe Miller and Sarah Palin to set law, change law and interpret law as they see it, say it and want it.

So this my America and I want it back before it falls into abyss of self victimizing, sad sack folk who need to blame others for their misfortune. This is my America I want it back from the billionaire businessmen who cater to the bottom line and bother less with the bottomless pit of poverty and poor. This is my America and if those who want a fair, just, honest America give up the fight then there is NO America at all.

So sad.
