Strange Election Year so Far!


Willard Mitt Romney has the votes and is the nominee of the Republican Party, President Barrack H. Obama is the incumbant so why hasn’t the race really begun as of yet?

         They throw punches from afar like shadow boxers in a darkened room or area at one another, but neither has come up with any concrete plans to solve America’s problems. Why is that and why the jockeying for position and playing around? Kinda funny isn’t it, since, in past elections, all the way back to JFK vs Nixon the war was on hot and heavy with many debates by now, so whats happening here?

         I think politicians are now starting to get a message from some of the american public, they need to get off their asses and get something going and working or get the hell out of office! We the American People need to convey that message these days to them and put them out of work, for not doing the job they were sent to do, by us!

         Sadly, as job numbers change and start to rise again and people’s unemployment benefits run out, no one has the sense to take action and do a damn thing. Sad isn’t it? Jobs are not coming back fast enough, manufacturing is being built once more, but again not fast enough. Our place in the world market is weak now-a-days, as well as in the trade markets, thanks to trade agreements that made our imports out weigh our exports by far. Time to change that is here now!

          The Postal Service is going out of business and cutting jobs for what, because out government borrows from their budget  for other items! Bullshit put the money back, and save the Postal Service, we need it!

            Save Social Security too, stop borrowing from it, too many are on it because of age, disability and more and  we need that money to live. Wake up stop borrowing from it and leave more in there to keep it going, repay what you borrowed now!

        I don’t want to hear how you want to revoke Obama Care, unless you have a full and ready replacement for it. Too many Americans don’t have insurance and we need it damn it. Wake up! Medicare and Medicaid only pays so much, and they don’t cover enough, private insurance costs an arm and a leg. Keep Obama Care, unless you have a concrete plan to replace it period!

        Now I am asking both candidates, Romney the Republican, Obama the incumbant and Democrat, give us concrete solutions to creating jobs, to expanding business and opportunities, and saving the Postal Service, Obama Care. Medicaid and Medicare, correcting the Trade Agreements and moving America forward. If not than you don’t deserve the White House or Congress or the Senate for a job in my mind. It is time for a New Deal like Roosevelt gave us, or something close to it. wake up!

        I have lived now 56 years and seen many Presidents come and go in my life, isn’t it time someone with some guts,testestorone and brains stands up and fixes things? What kind of patty cake playing are you politicians doing at the cost of the American People? Get us out of the wars, bring the troops all home, stop policing other countries and fighting their wars. Use those funds in the billions on improving America’s economy, job markets, trade agreement, medical coverages and save the Postal Service and create jobs. Lets go damn it!

        I have seen Election Years come and go, and seen Presidents come and go, but damn why is this year so strange for an election year? It’s simple , the candidates want to hedge their bets, don’t let them and lets get this strange Election going in the right direction, hold them to their words.

        

2012 Election, Facts,/Needs/Ideas


     In what I have called the most boring Election so far, 2012’s is not moving any faster and neither candidate is really making headway against the other. If this keeps up, we may just choose a President and be done with it all in quiet fashion.

       You can run around pointing fingers at one another as these two men do, and telling tales about each other or you can begin to talk about the real issues Americans face! Let’s Get it on is what I say, lets see who has the solutions and ideas to move the country forward.

       I want to hear both candidates, incumbant and challenger, talk about 1) The Economy, 2) Creating Jobs,3) How to save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare 4) Evening the trade agreements and making America have more exports than imports. 5) How to get us out of wars and keep us out period, we are not the world’s police force.6) Getting our money back from the companies and banks we bailed out. 7) Repairing the Blue Collar Job Market is key and vital to America’s economy, we need to get more factories going again.

          These are key issues that need discussed, extend unemployment benefits, save the Postal Service, keep it alive, while your at it too. Make a decision not to get involved in anyone elses wars anymore. We can’t fix Afghanistan, but we do kill off our service members trying don’t we, stop it now, pull the hell out. We had no business in Iraq, Iran is bullshiting us and we fall for it and get upset, isolate them and let them beg for mercy in the end, and their threat will go poof.  Homeland Protection is vital also, we all agree, we must keep America safe to stay free. Lets do it and do it right is all.

       In the end the 2012 Election this November, will determine 1) Who shall lead America away from these bad items and towards the good. 2) Who shall stop our decline in the world economy and put measures in place to prevent us from being dragged down too. 3) Who can straighten out and renegotiate all the trade agreements that are affects our imports being greater than our exports and turn it around. 4) Jobs are critical as is manufacturing, lets give them tax breaks and help to get going again in America and build more. 

       In the end the man who can solve all the above problems with ideas that work will win the election. I want both candidates to discuss these issues not who’s dog is on the roof of a car, or what they did in High School. Create jobs, help the manufacturing market grow, encourage, encourage this period. Save the Postal Service, leave the Veterans benefits alone, leave Social Security alone and find a way to continue to fund it, keep Health Care Reform and correct it, not destroy it.. Don’t take benefits from the elderly and poor to pay the rich, keep the programs in place damn it. 

      So many things a President can do  and be doing to improve the country has stopped being done, because the American people made a mistake in 2008. We picked the right President, but gave congress to his opposition, causing the log jams we now have in Washington. Sadly we American citizens are just as responsible for this mess as the politicians. If we want it cleaned up and the country moving forward and improving we need to stop the log jam and elect a President and Congress of one party and make them work to save all needing saving or fire them and get new ones. My opinion is now said and written I hope others agree!
