Same old song and dance

The primaries are at hand; many names but a true lack of ideas.

We have a gas price crisis.
We have a real estate crisis.
We have an unemployment crisis.
We have a health care crisis.
We have an immigration crisis.

Apparently, our country has fallen into the abyss. And what do these prospective candidates present as possible solutions or alternatives?  Same old song and dance.

Democrats:  higher taxes for “the rich” and corporations so as to redistribute wealth; more entitlements for “the poor” and disenfranchised; budget cuts for the military; more empowerment of unions; foreign policy of appeasement; subsidies for alternative energy sources which are incapable of supplying the nation’s needs; support of education based on a false sense of self-esteem; enforcement of only selected portions of the constitution; the nationalization of America.

Republicans:  government reform but through consensus; status quo on tax structure; expansion of government; “drill baby drill” energy policy; “leave all the children behind” education plan because we too need the unions vote; moderate stand for the constitution; compromise on all legislative bills so that if we all loose, then we all win!

Let me present the first new idea:  we need a leader!

Someone willing to step up and be the President of the United States.  Someone who has faith in God and in themself.  Someone who does not care about the Republican Platform, the Democrat Platform, or the Libertarian Platform.  Rather, someone who cares about America and her people.  It is time for “We the People” to exercise our vote.  Let us start from the top and work our way down.  Let us elect someone who has a vision of what our country should be and can be.
