so you voted


A group of Kentucky Republicans is up in arms over a state testing program that requires high school students preparing for college to have an understanding of biological evolution.(Huffington Post)
In America 2012 God has reentered the government in the form of a band of Americans who forgot that the beauty of this nation was the divide between church and state. In America 2012 suddenly the more religious you are and the more zealous in religious dogma you present yourself the more patriotic become. Now, not just any religion but of course religion du jour served to you by bigots who will feed you what they want you to eat. So you voted these Republican/Tea Party goons into office, proud of that? Education is just a ploy for the intelligent, and too much intelligence is not good to keep the masses from amassing any power. Wonder what the Crusaders will oppose next, perhaps deny that the Earth rotates around the sun? So you voted Republican/Tea Party. Watch as each state becomes it own union, denying any fact that they deem unnecessary to keep their own self interests from ever collapsing or better from being a democratic process. So you voted Republican/Tea Party, happy?

Personal political gain usurps any inroads to a fuller, freer life in America. Equality is not as important as my access to power. I like to sound as if I speak for the people, but I prefer those PEOPLE are on a ladder a few rungs lower then me. It is the quality of my career, my future that counts, I am governor because it is good for me, nothing else counts. So you voted this Republican/Tea Party women in as governor. Integrity, values, morals are meaningless when contempt, divisiveness, and self serving are the key to running a government. So you voted Republican/Tea Party. Delay for freedom, denial of equality, demeaning dreams and desires all part of the ticket. So you voted Republican/Tea Party. Why?  
"The nature of running a presidential campaign is that you're communicating direction to the American people," a Romney adviser, who is not named, told Politico. "Campaigns that are about specifics, particularly in today's environment, get tripped up." (Huffington Post)
Listening to people who talk in circles makes me dizzy. All I end up hearing is blah/blah/blah mixed in with BS/BS/BS. Circle talk is filled with patronizing parrot talk mixed with fiction formulated into fact. Its starting gate and finish line are located at the same point, making no point whatsoever.  And now we hear from the people who handle Romney’s campaign that the importance of details is of no importance at all. So you want to vote Republican/Tea Party? Substance is no longer a priority? Want to guess as to what the potential next president might do after he is in office rather then try and stop him before he has time to do damage? So you want to vote Republican/Tea Party? Really!
Perhaps it is not so much about the Republican/Tea Party as it is about the men and women who are running for political office representing that Party. Maybe it isn’t that the Republican/Tea Party is bad for this nation, but that in fact the women and the men who want to be elected have few scruples, sincerity, and real values.  It might be that the Republican/Tea Party is necessary for a true democracy but those who crave power find democracy un-necessary as a value to keep America free.
If you voted Republican/Tea Party or plan on voting Republican/Tea Party consider the women and men who you will be voting into power...and then wonder hard how scary, distorted America of 2012 will look as compared to the America you cherish and have cherished.
