On my voter registration card is an acronym, it says ‘NPA.’   No Party Affiliation.  There’s a reason I don’t support any political party, and that’s because it makes the most sense to me not to put my faith in the hands of complete idiots.  Seriously, spend half a day watching house and senate meetings on CSPAN and you’ll see what I’m talking about.   These are supposedly the best of the party, the winners, the people in charge of making laws to improve our collective lives.   So why is it that the speaker from Tennessee or Alabama or one of those bible belt states is wasting the House’s time requesting that everyone stand up and sing ‘God Bless America’ and those that are opposed should be put on record as ‘hating America?’   Because he’s an idiot that’s why, and so is every single person that voted for him.   Then some democrat from up north, I think New York gets up and starts singing it before whoever is in charge of this ship of fools stops this lame political stunt in it’s tracks.

These are the people responsible for passing bills and reforms folks, a room full of feeble old people who spend most of their time obfuscating every issue and delaying any progress to make some half-assed protests or to try and score some political points for their re-election campaign.   That’s all it is really, these are career politicians.   They have awesome health care (at taxpayer expense), their pockets are lined with so many backers and lobbyists, that to think that people in circumstances like that actually give a damn what happens to anyone else is almost laughable.   That’s just rhetoric though.

It’s just humorous to me to see what these people do exactly.   For example, just now I was watching this guy from Texas, one, John Carter, go on a speech in the House.   This man, who looks like my grandfather, went on about the forefathers, and how they founded a ‘republic’ for blah blah blah morals blah blah blah.  This went on for about three minutes.  First, I don’t think the House needs a damn history lesson that serves as little more than an attempt to assert your party is right by simple virtue of the fact the forefathers founded a republic so republic-ans must be the chosen ones.   Right, okay, whatever.   Second, I’m not sure what this has to do with the purpose of the hearing, which apparently was to talk about the federal bailout money and where it went.   I know why he said it, to fluff his point.  To give whatever argument he’s about to present the presumption of correctness rather than actually making a point that’s significant enough to stick.
