We need to remember that we are electing these poeple to represent us and when they don't, we need to stop electing them. Simples. We can't blame government when we freely elect them.

He wrote (in relation to Russia, at the time) "Every nation has the government it deserves'. <br /><br />I didn't say that, you understand. Joseph de Maistre said that - 200 years ago.<br /><br />Scarily relevant now, don't you think?<br /><br />Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-69847593309098315812015-09-27T18:15:24.608+01:002015-09-27T18:15:24.608+01:00Well, Charles, I admire your faith in the American...Well, Charles, I admire your faith in the American electorate. I do believe Mr. Trump will talk his way out of a candidacy just like he's talked his way into it. I have to believe that. Otherwise, like Jon Stewart, I would have to start making plans to leave the planet...<br /><br />Generally speaking, a more moderate (relative term) Republican is nominated in the end because the GOP knows it has NO chance of winning the general election otherwise (unless the Democrats really screw up, too). The thing is, of course, that the voters become battle-weary long before then. Two years of presidential election foolishness is much, much too much of muchness.<br /><br />leemikceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556230429959451810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-32344971667719068372015-09-27T10:52:55.811+01:002015-09-27T10:52:55.811+01:00I know you are speaking the minds of many across t...I know you are speaking the minds of many across the world. How can such a leader be a shining example for 3rd world Presidents.<br />America deserve better, not this current comedian.<br />The American voters are highly respected for their ability to see who leads America or who represents them. A mistake in America will affect the world negatively.Charles Yarfohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365188218347587729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-67566318436326568162015-09-25T22:46:31.217+01:002015-09-25T22:46:31.217+01:00Have no fear, Mr T's "remarks" have ...Have no fear, Mr T's "remarks" have reached us here too....
