		<description><![CDATA[Thanks logtroll for the feedback.  I just didn&#039;t want to move into a confrontive mode over a misunderstanding.   

As I&#039;ve said in the past I write for impact in order to grab reader attention.  You&#039;d be the last person that I would suspect as being not proactive concerning national as well as local politics.  You seem to be a concerned citizen as myself. 

I would be hard pressed as Diogenes of Sinope walking through the confines of Congress with a lantern in the daytime looking for an honest politician which precipitates my snide comment that they are all cut from the same criminally disposed cloth.  :  &#124;

		<description><![CDATA[Cap&#039;n,

By &quot;your people&quot; I only meant your electeds. 

So my sentence means: your representatives don&#039;t find what you are telling them to be actionable, or they disagree with you; there is some other communication issue when you are telling your representatives what you would like them to do; or they are duds.

My point in posting was simply to follow orders, sir; &quot;Ask yourselves; when was the last time you either emailed, snail mailed or contacted your District rep or Senators office concerning issues of the day regardless of it seeming exercise in futility…?&quot; 

I only find contacting my Republican (taxedenoughalready variety) Congressman to be an exercise in futility. The others are pretty good. Sorry if that negates your absolutist opinion that they are ALL useless crimpols. 

I extract from your comments that you think &quot;your people&quot; are duds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I can only speculate that your ideas aren’t regarded well by your electeds, your delivery is off-putting, or your people are duds.&quot; ...extract from post

Possibly you can clarify what you mean by this sentence.  

Of course my ideas aren&#039;t regarded well by the elected &#039;elect&#039;.  As far as &quot;your people&quot;,  I operate as an individual citizen and am not involved with any orgs or political action groups.  

They do answer me both via email and snail mail.  I&#039;ve even met them when they&#039;ve come to town public gatherings.  Washington has two Democrats for Senators; ie, Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell.  
My former Congressional District Rep was Brian Baird a Democrat too. 

We currently have a Republican, a female named Jaime Herrera Beutler. 
Jaime&#039;s performance in office is unknown since this is her first term.  The two Senators are incumbents and I&#039;m not impressed with either of them, both globalists to the core and have never met a &#039;pork buck&#039; they couldn&#039;t spend in some frivolous fashion.

		<description><![CDATA[Jon Huntsman has announced that he will announce his candidacy for POTUS.

In my book he still cannot accept gays as worthy of marriage.  Where do these fools get this notion that some Americans are more worthy than others?  I know it is a Christian thing and is good example of why a separation of church and state is long overdue.  His views on abortion are not worthy of my checking his opinion.  Americans are equal or they are not!

Too bad the GOP cannot locate a candidate who believes in equality.  Many religious women have had their share of abortions but never to admit they needed one.  Our political movement is made up of pure smoke and mirrors and it is no wonder we hire such filth to write our laws.  The way these folks lie, cheat and steal and get away with it is ridiculous.  How can any honest voter back anyone on that stage Monday Night.  To keep the allusion of God means to never tell the truth to anyone else.  I wonder this sits with the sky daddy?  

The GOP is run from the inside out by the laws based on a basic set of superstitions.  America cannot possibly survive this hypocrisy,]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carl, I have always been aware of the base desires of both parties.  I have written volumes regarding the redistribution of wealth and chose the Republican Party as my registration choice.  

I have one issue!  Just one!  There is nothing as valuable as individual choices and freedoms.  I saw Bush 43 run on a promise of a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting gays from marrying and women from having an abortion.  That tore up my GOP registration card!  I honestly felt that the LP would step up and take the clue that government involvement in American choices is wrong!  WRONG!  They did for a couple of years but that has been erased from their platform.  

I&#039;ve read hundreds of books on human instincts and how Europe tried to label their citizens in categories of color and religion.  Tribal humans are always gathered up like sheep and not allowed to live according to their individual desires.  In my world, it has been the individual states who set up social issues for their citizens and if Americans dislike these laws they can move to another state.  The 10th Amendment keeps the federal government out of our private lives.  

America has gone through many elections preferring dictators rather than Presidents and we allow these dictators to set our laws in ways that many of us find offensive.  What I saw last night was a group of potential dictators just waiting for permission to legislate against our individual desires.  Before we can elect decent and honest legislators we must regain our freedoms to be ourselves.  

I don&#039;t need any level of government to direct my personal life.  I am the lucky one as my personal choices have been according to the majority of others.  But I have many gay relatives and close friends and I will not allow some occult driven group of hypocrites to pass laws against any American.  As long as we obey the social laws within our states, the federal government has no authority to set our choices.

My focus of change sits within the State of California in allowing gays to marry if they so desire.  I want Roe v Wade to be the law of the land.  I was there when Gov. Reagan signed the legislation approving of abortions in our State.

I have gone through all the correct actions to keep the freedoms healthy.  Last night I saw candidates who work only for their Churches with the end game of making America into a Christian nation.  This is simply another nation who wants their citizens to act like sheep.  Hell, I saw this start after WW2.  I had assumed that educated Americans would always work and vote to keep their freedoms active.

Not one damn candidate spoke up for individual freedoms which means the entire GOP is now being financed by the religious right.  I have spent many years searching for the freedoms that all of us have earned through our support of our government in and out war and our support for the Americans within our disaster zones.  

Of course I am aware of the globalists and fought day and night against the trade agreements designed by Bush 41 and Clinton. It invited our own manufacturing base to move off shore to make better profits.  I don&#039;t recall you being here during that time but we had a couple of fighters to stop NAFTA before it set an example of our business deterioration.  We lost over and over.  Where were you during this action?

I will continue to vote in California because we may end up the last free state in the union if we can keep our individual freedoms.  Last night not a single Republican candidate wanted the last days of our patients with terminal illnesses to be able to decide how they die.  God would not allow this selfish desire to stop the agony of bone cancer.  Who the hell do they think they are?  Death with Dignity was mentioned as a potential Amendment to the Constitution to make it illegal to want to die.  

I run into many on the internet who have no capacity to choose for themselves.  What is missing from these uneducated voters is a lack of personal ideals.  We are sheep and need care and feeding from big daddy and spiritual guidance from big daddy in the sky.  So there goes another great nation under the thumb of a group of religious dictators.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Well, after watching the GOP candidates expressing their opinions, I can honestly say that I will be a Democrat by tomorrow afternoon.&quot; ...extract from post

This is not a criticism of your thought processes per se Ms. Price, but it&#039;s a good demonstration of the &#039;GOTCHA&#039; phenomenon of a two party system that&#039;s degenerated into a duopoly controlled by the same shadowy powerbrokers.  

They proffer these clowns to us.  Surely no one in America&#039;s peanut gallery of the electorate had any say as to who the prospective candidates will be, but are only given the chance to indemnify them via primary elections, then on to the &#039;big enchilada&#039; of the Presidential elections in November 2012.  .   

We now have a corporatist friendly &#039;Demoncrat&#039; in office and now these rethug wannabes that seem to be challenging the order of the day will offer us more of the same and worse if any of them should make it to the White House; but in the final analysis, both serve the same shadowy corporate masters through their &#039;button men&#039; lobbyists, all to our undoing as a free nation.  They are all sworn globalists to the core with the well being of this nation last to least on their agenda.  

My all time favorite bumper sticker is: &quot;Don&#039;t vote, it only encourages them&quot;...no?  / : &#124;
