I think a lot of things need to be changed about politics and politicians. Campaign financing needs to be changed entirely. Each candidate gets the same exact amount of money for campaigning, and it will come from the US Treasury (i.e. taxpayers). This way, they don't owe a single damn person or any industry whatsoever when they get into office other than the American people. They don't have to ear mark squat to payback anybody that supported them during the election. Of course, you will always have industries go out on a limb to support one candidate or another, but I think those industries should be shunned by every American that is on the opposite side of the endorsement, and if all Americans had any brains we would all boycott that Union, industry, manufacturer, business, etc., and especially these moronic artists and stars on both sides of the aisle. We would let people make up their own damn minds based upon the issues, not what rock star or what celebrity they love the most. When the musicians, TV show hosts, bodybuilders, WWF Wrestlers, etc. run the country, you know we are up the creek. You think you are pissed Skeet, join the club and I am the CEO.
If it really hits the fan, I cannot say what I will do. My example is that we all like to think we will step in front of a bullet for a loved one, but until that loved one is standing beside us and the bullet is fired, how the hell do you have any clue what you would do. Until the cops are breaking down my door to get my guns, I have no idea what I will do.
Hell, I am thinking about running for President myself so that I can change the change that Obama is bringing about. Let's just pray that he does the right things, fixes things up, and we get back to the American way, which might not have been around during my lifetime.
