Join me...be a king

Are you starting to feel a little "squeezed-in" or even claustrophobic by both political parties? And you know it's going to get worse as we get closer to November. We are the voters that the parties want, no need, so they can continue to squeeze us. We keep hearing "I feel your pain".


Both political parties would have us believe they understand what a young married couple goes through as they pull up to a gas pump that reflects nearly $4.00 a gallon, or what bills they must pay to survive another month as they go to their part time jobs just to take care of their family. 

They would have us believe they understand our "pain" as we pull a son or daughter out of college because a tuition cost can't be met. They claim to understand, while they are campaigning, that they understand our frustration because our homes are being foreclosed, or "under water' because of the Dodd-Frank Bill.

These same members of both political parties will never, ever relate or understand just what the average American is experiencing now in this horrendous economy.  When do elected officials of the parties worry about gas prices for themselves? Their aides fill up their gas tanks and charge it to their expenses. They work much less than forty hours per week. They take month long breaks during the  summer and holiday seasons. And no matter the length of their time in office they enjoy a life-time pension paid for by taxpayers.

And now, yes now, during the campaign-election cycle we suddenly are listened to. But voters do not get excited. I said they are "listening" to us. Don't be fooled that they will do more than listen. They want another term to make life better for us, so they say on their campaign stumps. No they don't. Most just want their lives better for themselves.

Oh, granted there are some who want the best for all Americans, but they are very few. This current administration has proven that. Spending billions of taxpayers dollars on failed energy projects, and refusing to drill for our own oil as we spend billions to Middle East countries for their oil are just two indicators. There is more evidence to this that many are becoming more aware of as we draw nearer to November.

But I do have a message from us freedom loving voters to the campaigners.  Come this November we are the kings. Yes, we will decide, not you, who will represent us for a better economic America. 

I know my one single vote by itself may not make a difference, but I vote in hopes that millions of other Americans will be a "king" like me and make a sound decision on what path our country moves into starting this November. Be there to vote

And that's Politics with Pete for today.
