The light at the end of the tunnel

Many can see the end of conventional political American electioneering as the actual voting gets closer to 2008. All that has been hired, paid for, and written about will be slapped down by Americans who think about themselves, and their concerns, mostly “blue collar” things like jobs, security, children’s education, and the most basic benefits like social security and Medicare. Less these seem silly, many of these people have bought into the idea of the government taking care of their ancestors vice the older ways of taking care of their ancestors. Of course the alternative is the third world way, as in have big families that take care of their old people.

As the vote gets closer to picking our leaders, are we to respond to well manipulated campaigns that tell us what we want to hear, based on focus groups for example. Recently when former President Clinton spoke of “economic sovereignty”, a big deal to me, does anyone think it was more than an appealing slogan from a focus group? We Americans do have alternatives, to include whatever former President Clinton is selling these days.

Rather, America, the USA, might do well by voting for leaders who look out for our common blue collar future. The end is near for both national political parties that focus on themselves, and not our National Interests. And the alternative Americans are a rising class of leaders, local , state, and federal. These leaders will be themselves, vice the managed and propaganda oriented candidates that present themselves to us these days and even during the past decades. We don’t even have to agree with all these leaders opinions, but trust them to lead in our local, state, and federal National Interests.

So there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And the light is from we citizens that will make sure the old time and status quo American political elites go into the dust bin of history. We have good and better alternatives to our future.
