Comments on: The Race of Rhetoric http://citizenbare.com/2008/02/27/the-race-of-rhetoric/ Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:19:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: andrewjames http://citizenbare.com/2008/02/27/the-race-of-rhetoric/comment-page-1/#comment-9 andrewjames Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:43:31 +0000 http://citizenbare.com/blog/2008/02/27/the-race-of-rhetoric/#comment-9 Great blog Giovanni, it is interesting to me how in this country regarding politics we vote for people entirely based on their rhetoric giving no merit to the actual actions. For instance Gee Dub(Bush Jr) pretended to be a strong evangelical Christian during his time in office even though he has continually disregarded the teachings of Jesus and yet the religious right swears by him. Those same Christians will find a way to discredit Obama and Clinton based on two or three issues and vote for McCain who is in many ways just as liberal as aforementioned Democrats. Final thought American Politics ALL ABOUT THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS It is true what Tracy says... "Reformation desperately needed in American politics!" Who could possibly be our Martin Luther? Do we have people willing to lay down there lives with no guarantee of return? Who will be our savior? Unfortunately I believe corporate greed has found a way to corrupt even the most pure of heart. You do of course make this point yourself Mr Giovanni. "I think the American people really need to look into "who is the most tied into corporate financing" and who is most tied into a public financing campaign." Funny we need to look at who is least affected by Corporate financing, instead of disregards it all together for the good of the people. Guess we all know what makes the world go round.

We truly do need a reformation in our politics. I've got some statistics that I'm trying to organize and get ready to post about how much the different types of industries are supporting each of the three main contenders. I personally think at this point, for this election, it doesn't matter. I really think the only time we will see real change in America is when we ALL choose to live Democracy. Instead we look for our politicians to uphold OUR Democracy. That obviously is not working. :) Those links are great Tracy. We truly do need a reformation in our politics.
