It's Been a Few Weeks, Hasn't it?

Well, maybe it's because this blog is seldom if ever read by anyone other than the author (which is my own doing since I've done nothing to promote my useless ramblings), or maybe it's because I've grown weary of politics and am now switching my focus onto the upcoming Football Season. Nevertheless, it's been a few weeks since I've had anything to say that I felt like saying.

So.....I'm thinking about packing it up and turn my back on the political system and the politicians that irritate me. It's not because I don't care, I do. However, it's becoming more apparent each day that politicians have lost touch with the rest of the country. They are driven by big money special interest groups and their touch with the common man ended some 100 years ago when our worlds were much less global and possibly much less greedy.

My biggest problem with politics is that regardless of how often a politician slights me, ignores my concerns and/or blows me off I still have to pay taxes. Talk about a taxation without representation feeling.

Eitherway, I find myself relating more and more to Samuel Clemons. I'm a "you do your thing and I'll do mine" Southern thinker. I am suspect of the government, much in the way that my forefathers where hence leading to our Lost Cause. I find it more and more troubling with each day that my taxes support leaders that have lost touch and clearly forgot about my best interest the minute the last election ended. In this, everyone's to blame. Personally, me as a Republican, I lay the blame on the Democrats. They claim to care about the everyday commoner, yet over the past three years, under their leadership in Congress and Senate, taxes have increased, our economy has gotten worse and energy cost are skyrocketing. Personally, I'm still waiting for the part when they actually do more than promote themselves as the savior for the commoner. It's time to PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Now about that moving my concerns onto something other than politics thing......Next time, I promise!
