How about a new idea from these ancient bones? (Sharp mind though.) Why do we have this absurd two party system? Let me give you my opinion. It is simply so that the Democrats can blame the Republicans and vice versa for all the mistakes, foolish spending, and lousy laws they pass or don’t pass. Rather than being subject to the condemnation of their constituency for the established disorder of things in D.C., they can blame the opposite party which may out-number them in voting power. Since I am descended from Martha Custis, who married George Washington, I suppose I am partial to the Father of our Country, but George Washington was against the two party system, and I happen to agree.
Ever growing and oppressive government, Nazi like IRS, decreasing value of money, and other assorted ills, all rush out of the mouths and votes of the D.C. Gang. Rather than taking the blame, they say that it’s all the fault of the Republicans or Democrats who out-voted them, or “it was bottled up in committee,” maybe. Nonsense. “Committees” are stupid, total waste of time, convenient for the game of blame placing, and not in the Constitution. Blaming the other party for what you have done wrong, is like blaming your brother or sister for your transgression, or ’bad brakes’ when you run into someone because you weren’t paying attention or driving too fast. America’s and the buck’s current conditions are solely the fault of politicos who endlessly hand out dollars for welfare, contracts for specious things, endless wars, ’war on terrorism,’ and fake ’emergencies.’ Politicians get elected and re-elected term after term by debasing your money, and then blaming the other party.
I saw Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC this morning. Is she a new hire? My goodness, who will run bubble bath Greenspan’s morning tub if she is in front of the cameras? I always liked Andrea, except her choice in a husband. Of course money and prestige do talk, don’t they? Sir Alan was once an insider of Ayn Rand, and an advocate of the gold standard. As Bob Wills used to sing, “Time Changes Everything.”
