Blog Entry 184 of 254 I blog, therefore I am.
Politics to life in general, a view from a slightly right of center/off-kilter guy.

We need another option on the ballot
Contributed by: Brian Olson   on 6/24/2008

I'm starting to feel that America is no longer a great nation. But we remain a nation of great people.

I'm getting tired of hearing folks like Mayor Hicklooper's indignation about violence in Denver. Maybe he should actually hang around in Denver rather than chase around the country raising money for the DNC. You know, do mayor stuff.

I get really tired of hearing the same people planning to spend $50-60 million on politcal conventions in Denver and Minneapolis, throw lavish parties etc, then at the same time tell us we have to conserve.

I don't begrudge Al Gore living in a mega-house, or flying around in a private jet, but Al, don't you dare tell me to conserve either.

I'm totally and absolutely sick of the partisanship in DC. We're getting screwed by the GopDem government, by leaders completely disconnected from us living hear on Main Street USA.

I'm dismayed that an illegal polygamist cult can buy up millions of dollars worth of property to set up shop here in Colorado and despite the fact that they're breaking the law, we can't seem to stop them.

I'm tired of hearing campaign commercials by some yahoo candidate for Senate saying he's "going to get Bin Laden." Yeah, right.

It's all about pointing fingers, it's all about the blame game and the fingers should be instead pointed at City Hall, the State Capitol and the Capitol Dome in DC. And the White House just down the road on Pennsylvania Ave.

Government is failing us. We need to send a message and take our government back.

So we need this option on the ballot right below the candidate's names.

NONE OF THE ABOVE. It would be a landslide.

We're running out of cake.
