Disgusting Spending by Politicians!

Since when has election time become whoever has the most money wins, because they can buy the most advertising?

This is a must read from The Guardian

A true Democrat would put their money towards good causes.  In the past our Presidents were beloved because of their deeds.  I have to ask just where is all this money coming from, and why?

Like I said earlier, it is wasteful and disgusting to amass this much cash when the country is in need of so much.  Only John Edwards spoke about what is really going on in the country.  He should be Vice President if he cannot be President.   He’s a man with a heart and a soul that shines.  I read a piece on him in the LA Times yesterday.  He is the sort of leader we need.  Not somebody who buys his way to the top.  It is so grotesque, it’s unreal.  Since when did we start “branding” our politicians?

They should be real, get out and circulate among the people.  What will you do to help the poor?  My sense is nothing at all.  Not if you throw a billion dollars away to get your mug plastered at the Super Bowl.  Christ.

It’s enough to make a person vomit, reading this Guardian Article.  Where are the values of JFK, LBJ, FDR right now?

I’m seeing those from Mrs. Clinton, only.

Ugh.  You know what disgusted me about Obama?  His dinner party in my town with Oprah.  It was a big buck affair.

It’s just so all about the reigning monarchy of the brand isn’t it?  Do something for your country instead of for yourselves.  Donate some of that money to help with the Katrina wreckage.  Like I said, that is what would get my vote.  And your generosity would get you enough free TV coverage you’d never have to pay for another advertising spot again.

You’d be loved because of your deeds.

John Edwards, please find a way to stay in this nightmarish campaign.  I love you for your JKF values, and you represent my party to the fullest.  You are an example of a shining American.  His final speech is here, and it is the speech of a very fine man.
