Do I Ask too Much?

Spending a week in Canada was sort of frustrating, since the only news I could see was CNN. But I can't stand it for very long, because inevitably I begin hearing the talking points direct from the DNC and the Clinton campaign.

Lou Dobbs is a notable exception. He's mad at both parties, and continues his quixotic crusade against outsourcing, offshoring, and illegal immigration. Issues where of course he has virtually no support from either political party.

Otherwise, the rest of the talking heads get tiresome as they spin each and every issue as somehow screwed up by George Bush, and only solvable by Queen Hillary and her Democrat comrades. I feel like I'm watching something from the old Soviet Pravda.

I don't care if all the reporters are socialists or communists. All I ask is that they at least make an attempt to tell the complete story and offer the opposing (definition: non-Democratic) point of view now and then.

Let's be honest. Next year's election is about deciding a few very simple principles for America:

Either we will find our healthcare provided by a federal government bureaucracy or the status quo. Nobody's going to fix the problems, so unfortunately those are the only two available options.

Either we will continue to keep terrorism on the run or they will begin bombing our cities. Maybe with nukes.

We'll either find ways to increase oil supplies and bring down prices or the problem will reach crisis proportions. The latter is about an 80% probability, as far as I can tell right now.

Either our taxes will go up a lot or just a little. A lot seems more likely.

We will probably be in recession. The only question is how long will it last, and how painful will it be. The parties will just blame each other. Democrats will pretend like increasing taxes will help. Republicans will propose reducing taxes but will be rebuffed.

The illegal alien problem won't be solved. Even though somewhere north of 70 percent of Americans are outraged about the lack of attention paid to the problem by elected officials. They still won't do anything to solve it, unless you call legalizing all the illegal aliens solving it.

Hillary as president will be controlled by the Chinese, Labor Unions, Trial Lawyers, illegal immigrants, gays, and socialist minorities.

The Republican president will most likely be controlled by big business, the drug companies, the insurance companies.

Nobody will represent us average working folks.

I'm angry. I'm cynical. I'm disappointed. I feel more like voting against every incumbent than electing anybody in particular.
