We All Bleed Red And Blue In America

I received a not very friendly e-mail asking me why I have been bashing Bush and Republicans. However, as you read through the posts you can see that I am never a Republican nor a Democratic basher, I am an equal opportunity basher. We here at Voteswagon strive to keep it down the middle and the faithful here understand that. The writer also slammed our poll referring to Lou Dobbs but again the poll is merely a question and not an opinion, if you do not like Lou Dobbs then vote him down but this redirection of blame and the ‘ it’s not our fault’ attitude is exactly why America is in the problem it is.

We have a housing crisis but rather than blame lost housing on lack of work and fair wages we instead blame the mortgage companies, where is the logic in that? We have states like Michigan which cannot balance their budget because so many businesses have outsourced and off-shored their work that states are losing vital tax revenue but again rather than take blame our politicians are saying the issues should be handled on a state level and not by Washington. Well maybe I am becoming senile but aren’t the politicians in Washington elected in individual states by state citizens?

Why are these bozo’s elected by state citizens but the problem of these citizens are not the problem of the elected p0oliticans in Washington but instead the Governors fault of the problematic states. Come on, this is idiotic reasoning and it deserves to be called out. If anything, this angry e-mailer was upset at his own situation but his blinding partisanship was keeping him from really addressing the issues with the truth and this is not our fault here at Voteswagon.

It’s time Mister angry e-mailer and others like him voice their opinion in public and address the real symptoms of the problem and not play partisan politics. Both Democrats and Republicans are screwing American citizens, not all of them but a lot of them and the only way to end their BS is to be more politically active, be it here at Voteswagon or somewhere else. You don’t like worrying about your job, get your politician to enact legislation that protects your job. You don’t like the price of your health care; get your politician to do something about health care. It’s not my problem, or your problem, or a Democratic problem, or even a Republican problem, it’s an American problem and we here in America need to come together to get our politicians to work on American problems and not focus so hard on Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

We have become so global we have forgotten to take care of our own children and this is what we all need to come together to address. Let’s hope the next elected politicians in 2008 take care of all of us, the Blue and the Red.

So tell me, what are you doing to right the wrongs Mister Angry E-Mailer?
