If I'm using my latin correctly. Politics comes from the latin roots "poly" meaning "many" and "ticktus" meaning "small annoying blood suckers."
How is it that the democrats are happy with their mascot?
How did that ever come to be? "Uh, ok all. We're a team here, we like to anger people with our views, any ideas on a mascot?" "How bout a donkey?!" "Brilliant, that'll show those fat elephants..."
A donkey!? They did pick that. It really does fit the description of SOME of the democrats I have met.
It is funny to me that when I come across a democrat they treat me as if I don't know what on earth is going on. As if they have a secret to all the problems and feel sorry for me that I don't understand.
Oh, and why is it that shooting for the underdog is a crime in politics!?
Do the debates really help anyone?
What about the "un-decided" people who ask the questions on those things? "Yes, Mr. McCain, why is it that the Bush Administration, which you supported all this time, seemed to fail the last 8 years? I'm just an unbiased, undecided future voter trying to figure everything out...:-/"
Politics in my opinion, to sum everything up thus far, is the once-every-four-year ploy to create competition amidst our "unified" country. Last time this went too far, the south became bitter for the rest of our lives, and decided that, who cares where you're from, sweet tea is something that only that particular southern individual knows exactly what it is.
I can't wait till November 6 when we all go back to not caring about our country again. (I gave a day for the nation to settle down from the election day)

ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you didn't mean what you said about "not caring about our country" anymore. I think I know what you meant, and I agree that people seem to adopt whatever the news story of the day is and make it their life. I firmly believe that if the media would not have been reporting constantly, incessantly, repeatedly, and urgently about how bad the economy is, most people wouldn't have any idea there even was a problem with the economy. But, news reports it, and people embrace it as being relevant in their lives.
ReplyDeleteSame is true for the election. People rarely give a second thought to who is representing them in local, state, or federal government. But, because the media makes such a big deal out of the presidential races, it's the most important thing in people's lives now. The world will end if so-and-so is elected. Etc.
Well, the Old Testament is chock full of instances where God put bad kings in charge of His people. He will not be surprised by the outcome on Wednesday morning (or whenever, if it turns into 2000 all over again). In the end, because of what God did for us through His Son, "kings will shut their mouths on account of Him" so it makes no eternal difference who wins anyway.
I know who I'd prefer of the two, but in the end, whoever God wants is who will be there anyway.
