#POLITICS AND THE GREAT WHY ( Part One )

Here we go again, start up your engines – get ready - go - around and around the track once again on our political issues.
 It has been a blatant building of a staircase of bitterness
starting with Senator Mitch McConnell’s “ We must make this
a one term President ’’ to a Republican Congress rejecting any 2nd term
proposed agenda of progress from President Obama. Former Republican
Presidential candidate Herman Cain; now a Fox News commentator said
; Americans were duped by President Obama and that Americans have a serious ignorance problem. Wow! Double Wow!
 Now the Surpreme Court has opened the door for Republican governed states to set in place voter rights hurdles to thus enable the Republican Party an absolute potential to win the White House in the 2016 Presidential election.

Is anyone still blind? Is anyone still not concerned?

Silence is Golden only to the well-off benefactors in a Democracy.
Today being a Government Official whether it is State or Federal for many
people is the secure career path of perks and a self glorified righteous delusion
of serving the people. However this is no new phenomenon to the American
landscape : political mud slinging and covert corporate power manipulation.
Like any hound protecting its meat wouldn’t you bite. We, the American
People have grown extremely tired of the shamelessness and outright deceptions a though a populace of intelligent and perceptive people does not exist.
The flowers of our society have not benefited from the rain of a struggling economy,Due in part to deregulation and corporate greed, much less the repeated tragedies f natural disasters upon communities.

Sidebar: A small local example – a million dollars spent by the Arlington, Virginia
Government on building a single hi-tech bus stop shelter.

Million Dollar Bus Stop: Northern Virginia Super-Stop Has Heated Concrete Floors,
Does Not Protect From Elements : ( Huffington Post )
 







More than $1 million dollars was spent on this Arlington County bus stop, which has sparked public outcry over the price tag. (Jason Spencer/Patch)

The question with the obvious answers: Who took home the bulk of those contract funds.

These examples go on and on and sadly integrity is replaced with lavish abuse.

There are enough government scandals, corporate abuse and Republican/Tea Party;
Their Tug-of-war encumbering leaves you choking with disgust.
Where is Integrity? Where are our concerned geniuses?
Those who are backed with money and technology and political support needed
to move America into an assured future of new thriving.
