OK, will someone please let me know when my titles get corny!!!
Who wants to talk politics...I usually don't. After reading Chris' latest blog I thought that I would post my opinion. Can anyone please tell me why U.S. citizens vote for a President when the popular vote doesn't elect the office? I cannot think of any other country in which a citizen popular vote does not elect a leader of a nation.
Now, don't get me wrong I DO vote and would not want to lose my right to vote but it doesn't make any sense. And since normally the last 2 years of a politicians term is spent trying to get re-elected, then why don't we change the term of U.S. Representatives to at least 4 years? As soon as they get in they start planning their re-election instead of doing the job they were elected to do.
It all comes down to one fact. Until we citizens truly start holding our elected officials accountable for their actions and start firing them when they deserve it, then they will continue to manipulate us.
Allrighty, before I start sounding like I'm crazy I'll end this for now. One other thing though, if you CAN vote and you DON'T vote then please DON'T talk politics !!!
There is more to come...later
