The Results Are In

I must admit that I was surprised at the results of the primaries last night. The battle goes on. But as Laurae and I noted, it’s still a fight with no substance. The candidates talk about ‘change’ and they claim ‘experience’. But we hear nothing of what they would hope to do for the economy, healthcare, war, elders, etc, etc. It’s all very vague.

Notice that I said, “what they would hope to do…” Wouldn’t it be nice if candidates spoke that way? Not promising anything…because we all know that political promises are lies, but simply telling us what they think should be done. What a dreamer I am! No, it’s all about slogans and bold promises and the gullible electorate eats it up. No one asks any hard questions.

Time Goes By has a good article regarding the election results.
