Another election has come and gone. Thankfully, in some regards, it was an off year election. One of minimal consequences to most but to states like Virginia and New Jersey it was of gubernatorial importance. It seems that today 'moderate' is the key word a majority of voters are looking for while 'conservative' is the plague of suffering.
Americans complain of being taxed beyond fairness, however they continually vote in the party that is known for establishing new and raising old taxes. They complain of illegal aliens coming in to the country yet they cast their vote for the party which supports amnesty for those who have already shown they do not respect our laws. They complain of healthcare costs, they 'get what they asked for' in the Affordable Health Care Act and it isn't all that it was promised to be so now they complain about what is there on the table. They complain about their guns being taken away yet they don't exercise the power invested in them by the Constitution to vote in supporters of the 'Right to Bare Arms.'
Finicky, finicky Americans! Miserable and handicapped to see the bigger picture! Change comes in stages not in one election and not by allowing the same party to reek havoc throughout our current government. You may not be satisfied with a two party system but in order to stop the bleeding we must quell the hemorrhaging of today so that we can work towards change tomorrow. I find it amusing that those who cried the loudest for change in our political setup during the Presidential election of 2012 have been silent since November 7th, 2012. Is it really change you want or just the right to complain? As I look at the picture before me I would say it is the latter.
