I am deeply troubled by many things the Congress does. However, the bee in my bonnet today is the people of this country. Sadly more people today are more concerned about who wins Amercan Idol or Survivor than they are are about the people that are suppose to represent them in Congress or who sits in the White House.
The news media is no help either when Lohan is more important than the mess at Solyndra. When they fail to explain that the payroll tax cut is robbing Social Security for short term political gain. When they can't see pass their polling and the political horse race to explain what the candidates actually are saying. How can we the people care when those informing us don't really care?
The blame comes back to us. We had much rather have the breads and the circuses than to have real meat and information which are better for us. The country is in the mess we are in because we allowed it to happen by never holding the politicians accountable by voting them back in.
To those that say they need to send a message by not voting you need not complain. You didn't do anything but sit in your tush.
It sum up, if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem. So start getting informed on the issues and use reason not emotion to make a choice. Turn off the media and start researching the issues for yourselves.
