Barb read an article about how the Koch Brothers are trying to influence how people they give money to vote. Yep, from the start, PAC's and Lobbyists have supported people that vote the way they want. If you don't vote the way they want, they will stop giving you money. She thinks this is so bad that she would ban it tomorrow. If you want to know how politics goes, follow the money. The funny part of the story is that their Lobbyist is a friend of ours and got his name in the paper.
One point she made that we completely agree on is if congress only has a 16% approval rating, how can/do they get re-elected? Either the polls are way wrong or only idiots will poll one way and vote another. Perhaps the feelings is always it must be your Senator or Representative that is wrong, mine is OK. Obviously that is wrong. I would start with term limits for people that represent us. I might even be from the party of NRA, Never Re-elect Anyone. If you are a regular reader, you know how I feel about those that represent us go to Washington poor or only average and come home rich. Just look at Bob Dole. He was a poor disabled veteran from western Kansas and now doesn't even live in our State. He is Rich with zeroes tacked on the end.
When I asked Barb about her agenda, she said she might have one once the meds kick in and she gets over the headache. RUN! go to the basement, leave her alone and write on my blog. Stupid me, I didn't read the signs clearly.
If you had money in the bank, what would you spend it on? What is your idea of a good investment? What is your idea of a good way to piddle some of it away? (Piddle was my grandmother's word for goofing around)
Oh well, better go find some way to occupy myself out of the line of fire.
