Tired Of Republi-crats, Cookie Cutter Arguments And Lies

I know I'm not the only person who is tired of the campaigns already. Now it's time for everyone else to speak up as well. Every time I check Chattanoogan.com I come across another left-wing radical or right-wing extremist spewing more filth and lies into the public forum. I am a huge supporter of free speech and believe every person deserves a voice, but can we at least be honest with each other and end the lies.Congress, this is my biggest pet peeve against all politicians today. Yes, the Republicans controlled congress during Bush's first term and managed to preside over some of the worst corruption scandals in recent memory. Before anyone starts whining about Clinton's term in office let's compare his biggest scandal with just one of Bush's. Ol' Slick Willie was fooling with an intern and tried to cover his tail, but he never exposed a CIA operative's identity. Let's see, adultery vs. treason, which one deserves impeachment.
But let's not forget that Democrats have controlled Congress the past four years, and what do we have to show for it? No improvement, just more debt, more partisan back room political deals, and still no end to the senseless deaths our soldiers are facing each day in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now we the taxpayers are being stuck with the bill for Fannie and Freddy's bail out. How many more times will we sit back and watch the federal government throw away our hard-earned money, so that the people who run these companies don't have to face the consequences of their decisions.Now with the election fast approaching, both sides are accusing the other of inexperience and any other dirt they can find or fabricate. What that says to me is that both sides are fools for choosing candidates based not on experience, values or morals but on image. I'd say we need to start from scratch but I don't think I could handle another primary season the likes of which just ended.Man, woman, black, white, Democrat, Republican. They are all poor choices who have no place running our country. And certainly they have no right to proclaim they represent the American people.In the words of a very wise man, vote none of the above, or least let's all ditch the major parties and their chosen flunkies and find an third candidate that actually represents our choices and values.
