The mid-term elections are coming up again in a few months. It is an opportunity for the Republicans and the Democrats to establish majorities in Congress. The Republicans seem to feel that their best strategy is to appeal to the Trump supporters who lost the 2020 Presidential election. The Democrats seem to feel that their best strategy is accomplish very little while they control both the Senate and the House of Representitives.
Meanwhile back at the ranch... inflation is raging, the stock market is falling rapidly, Covid-19 hasn't been defeated, Roe v. Wade may be overturned, the Russian military is destroying Ukraine, mothers can't buy formula for their babies and there is ever-increasing violence in our streets. Each of these are serious problems in their own right. The future appears bleaker than at any time since 2001. Yet the major party's strategies for the elections are completely oblivious to reality.
I have never seen a time that screams as loudly to "Throw out all the bastards and replace them with new bastards". I can't think of a single member of Congress (or either of the two most recent Presidents) who deserve to be re-elected based upon what they have done and advocated to solve real issues. Not Joe Binde, not Nancy Pelosi, not Mitch McConnell, not Kevin McCarthy, not Patty Murray, not Derek Kilmer, not Maria Cantwell (who is she ?) and above all not Donald Trump.
According to the Preamble of our Constitution, We the People created the goverment for five reasons:
- 1 The establishment of justice
- 2 Insuring domestic dranquility
- 3 Providing for the common defense
- 4 Promoting the general welfare
- 5 Securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity
How are they doing on these folks? How are the combination of Republicans and Democrats that we have elected doing? They are providing for the common defense, but on all the rest I think they deserve an "F" grade. And there are no realistic, attainable plans being presented by either side (especially the MAGA, former, soon to be indicted ex-president Trump) for having the elected government function as intended by the founding fathers. Whether your representitives are Republicans or Democrats ...Throw all of the bastards out.
