POLITICIANS SUCK

     When did all of our politicians go batshit crazy and lose complete touch with reality and the American people they are supposed to represent.  From getting into and continuing to spend our money on unpopular military actions, to ruining the economy, to using religion as the sole basis for making laws, they have completely FUCKED UP OUR COUNTRY!!!  Around the world this country used to be admired for it's morals, integrity and opportunities that were available to the average person.  Nowadays America is a fucking joke to most foreign countries.  We treat our criminals better than our veterans, elderly, handicapped and poor.  Our prisoners get 3 meals a day, a bed to sleep in, cable T.V., exercise equipment, free education, and on and on.  It is a pretty sad commentary on our country that the recidivism rate in this country is so high.  Approximately 70% of all released prisoners get rearrested within 3 years of release.  To me that says that the outside world is so fucked up for these people they would rather be in prison risking ass rape and shankings then live on the outside.  Most of these people come from low income backgrounds and find it impossible to make an honest living, so they turn to crime to survive.  I am not making excuses for their actions and in no way condone criminal activity, but I understand why they would find it easier.  Most criminals make a lot more money committing crimes then they could ever hope to make respectably.
     I am not a big supporter of President Obama, but I find it reprehensible that the Republicans are blaming him for not fixing in four years, what the previous administration took years to fuck up!  Two major causes of   our present economic trouble is the deregulation of the banking and oil industries.  The banking industry completely demolished our real estate market, and the oil industry is now able to charge whatever they want for fuel, raising the cost of all other goods, all while maintaining record profits over the last several years.  Another major problem I see with our government is all of the money we send in aid to foreign countries, while neglecting our citizens who are suffering.  We have approximately 650,000 homeless in this country, not to mention all of the people living in total squalor, homes unsuitable for habitation, children going hungry and overall substandard living conditions.  We need to take care of our own, I would sure as hell feed my family before feeding the family down the street.
     I am not going to get into my views on the morality debates that have been going on, because those who know me already know my views.  I will just say that I do not believe that issues such as gay marriage and abortion are issues for national debate.  I don't believe that you can legislate morality, especially when that "morality" comes from a book written thousands of years ago, not by "GOD", but by men who also thought they new better than everybody else, therefore if you did not listen to them you were immoral.  A book, mind you, that contains many contradictions, inaccuracies, errors in translation and many reinterpretations by various church groups and officials.
     People always say that if you don't vote then you can't complain, but how can I vote for any politician when I don't respect them and don't believe a single word that comes out of there mouths.  They are all constantly contradicting themselves, back-tracking, flip-flopping and flat out lying to our faces every single days.  If I ever believed that a politician had any integrity and was honest, and not just working for the special interest groups and people who line their pockets with fat stacks of greenbacks, I would be more than happy to vote for that person.  Unfortunately it seems to be going in the opposite direction.  The more I listen, the more I believe that politicians are only out to make money for themselves and their friends, and they could not give two shits about what the average American wants.  So to all of the politicians out there, FUCK YOU AND THE SPECIAL INTEREST FUNDED HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.  START DOING YOUR FUCKING JOB.  TAKE CARE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO YOU FUCKING WORK FOR, YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS, HOLIER THAN THOU, MONEY GRUBBING PIECES OF SHIT!!!  ASSHOLES!!!
