Election Illusions

I watched him spew forth his smooth
phrases,with the self assurance of a
congenital liar...


Making promises that so many before
him have made and never kept, and the
adoring public cheers him on


My senses seethed at the thought of how many politicians lied their way to the top because of their charisma


In honesty I couldn't blame just him, after all the public knew he wasn't all he made himself out to be


None of them ever are! It sickens me to see how we continue to let them dupe us every election,then complain at the results


I've done it for the last time! I've had it with the games they play,. I'll vote for a write in candidate of my choosing


Not someone who the parties have already chosen for us, and we have to trust that they are good enough to hold office


Politicians remind me of  how a man can keep two wives and families neither knowing about the other ,as he leads a dual life of deceit


This country lacks honest leadership that isn't afraid to dialogue with the people who put them in office and might have some good ideas


Our present culture is a disaster and we had better own up to it, and do something before we elect another failure


etw-2007

Like so many other things we've done wrong in this country, we've allowed our leaders to become wealthy aristocrats, who are so far removed from the main stream, they can't even relate. Power Corrupts, and the Absolute Power we've given them - Corrupts Absolutely. They thrive on prestige, power, behind the scenes deals, and media Sound Bites.

But like so many other things History teaches, we never seem to learn.

Don't you yearn those years when a President was elected in the ill lighted backrooms with people around a table holding stacks of money, smoke and a million and half Teamsters votes in the bag?
Today, like yesterday, whe hear used cars salesmen trying to push our way another lemon, and you know what? we buy one, every four years.
Once...shame on them, a few more times?...shame on us.

We all know Washington is one big country club. It is a machine that runs itself, no matter what we do! Still have not seen anyone I would be interested in yet. Enjoyed reading this, though.

Be safe,

politicians are the pseudo-leaders of our time ... these respective candidates offer agendas that bolster their own needs in the guise of benefiting the masses ... they offer nothing to raise the populace to a more enlightened state of being and provide little help to develop the conditions of our flaunted culture ...

excellent social statement ...

It's hard to know who is lieing and who isn't these days! We should all pray for guidance before voting! Our country is deteriorating before our very eyes...Great write with a powerful message!

Excellent, spot on truths in powerful verse: God help us! I pray we elect the right one...or else we'll be in even more trouble than we are.

When I visted Roosevelts place, it hit me, that due to todays plastic politicians, he would not stand a chance. With BP over 300/200 during WW2 he died for us, and my country is here only because of the Churchill/Roosevelt friendship...

Out of 300,000 000 there must be one future great..Arnie? Ed? Tigger?

God help us; we need a better system of government; it's gone down the tubes and nobody seems to give a damn. Sad. Very well done, Eileen!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
