Off a Cliff

I'm so sick of politics I could puke. I already know whom I WON'T be voting for, so weeks ago I turned off and tuned out political news inundating television.

I know not to discuss politics with my friend Dottie. She and her father have this attitude: President Bush is always right just because he is the president. Believe and trust in him. He is "The Decider."

I say Dottie, that's how despots and dictators like Hitler wield power: Having people believe what ever he did was right and not to question him. Just follow blindly along and do whatever he says.
No, you have to question leaders and the decisions they make. What would you do--jump off a cliff if Bush said so? Push someone else off a cliff if he said so? It is astonishing to think there are some people who might think that was alright.

It seems like every election cycle gets nastier and meaner, and no wonder nothing gets done in our country because the political parties create so much enmity they can't reconcile and make compromises when the elections are over.

Sad to say we have a lot of lemmings masquerading as voters.
