CHANGING YOUR POLITICAL RHETORIC

SPECIAL POST

It's obvious with the popularity of Trump, Carson and Fiorina that we Americans are sick and tired of "politics as usual."  

There's a political culture to the effect that it is more important to win than it is to serve.  After all, supporters of that philosophy would say, you can't serve if you don't win.  "Say anything you have to say in order to get elected."  The press, the media and the pundits all play into that game, encouraging a "shift" in rhetoric wherever necessary for the candidate to improve his or her poll numbers.  

That tactic is, as far as I am concerned, "politics as usual."  

Here you have Jeb Bush, unable to get traction in the polls, saying over the weekend that he's going to have make more "cute political" remarks.  He says he was brought up to be who you really are and to be honest about it, but he surmises that change is necessary.  Therefore, he is saying that he would rather mislead us than to tell it like it really is.  

I suspect.. in fact I know, as you well know... Bush is not the only guy on the political stage who is apparently willing to say anything or do anything in order to get elected.  And what do we, the citizens, get out of such deceitful manipulation?  The epitome of the description of a lying, two-faced politician... a Barack Obama.  

I'm sorry, Jeb; if you're willing to sell your soul, your upbringing, your honesty... in order to get elected, you don't stand a chance in my book.  

We Americans are, for the first time in decades, paying attention to what we hear.  And, for the first time in decades, we're in the mood to chase the phony ponies out of town, whether they are running for president, the Senate or the House.  Our broom has been renewed,and we intend to use it to sweep clean.  If you can't speak the truth about who you are and what your views really are, we have no use for you. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
