I have taken my “election year” vows again — I hope to be equally hostile to ALL major political parties as the politicians ramp up full-speed toward the political abyss we call elections.
Yet it isn’t really a serious election year, yet. Oh, sure, there are congressional elections coming up in the fall, but let’s get real, shall we? In America, the only election cycle the average citizen cares about is a presidential election cycle. There’s no glamor in the House and Senate.
In reality of course, the really important political action in our country IS the House and Senate manipulation and maneuvering that goes on. That and state and local elections are often perceived as boring — but, truly, they are the only elections where we as individuals stand a chance of reigning in the corruption and chicanery of the politicians.
And, months ago where I live, the various political lies, manipulation, phone calls, promotional items, brochures, etc., have begun flooding our lives.
So, here we go again, folks. Moving heavily into the good old American Election Follies. The hand basket is plunging downward at ever increasing speed …!!!!!
