Ignorant Voters

People blame our government for the shape the country is in, but the government isn’t at fault. It’s the voters who are to blame. People are as ignorant as the day is long when it comes to voting and what their priorities for government are. How do you think Bush got elected to a second term? It was all up to Ohio in the second election and what did the Ohio voters do? They voted for Bush because he was against abortion and same sex marriages. Meanwhile innocent lives were being taken and billions of dollars were being spent on a war that we didn’t need to be in and big corporations were getting tax breaks.
While abortion and same sex marriage may be important to voters, it’s not the biggest problem facing our country right now, nor was it the most important problem facing our country when Bush ran for a second term. We were in a war with Iraq, a country that was not a threat to us, nor did they have weapons of mass destruction like Bush’s government said they did. They lied to us and it cost us billions of dollars that ultimately led us spiraling down the road that led to the shape that we’re in today. Politicians lie, it’s in their DNA. The sooner you the voter realize that the better off we will all be.
But the only thing the voters were concerned about was abortion and same sex marriage. First of all I am not pro nor con when it comes to abortion and same sex marriage, I really don’t care either way. But I do care about the economy and what our elected officials are doing with our lives and our money. We need to set our priorities straight. Being against abortion and same sex marriage is not going to get us out of the problems we’re facing today. Americans need jobs, we need job security; we need big corporations and Wall Street to quit looking after themselves and start looking after the people.
I realize that corporations are considered people now thanks to a pathetic law passed by our Judicial System. Exactly how corporations are people is beyond me. I wonder how much money they paid the judges to vote that way. I wonder how much money our elected officials got from big corporations to vote the way they do. The members of Congress can tell us how to live yet they can’t tell the big oil companies how much to charge for gas. I saw recently that gas prices may reach $5.00 a gallon before the end of the year. Most Americans can’t afford $5.00 a gallon for gas, I can’t. And what does Congress have to say about it? “We can’t do anything about that.” They can’t do anything about it or don’t want to do anything about it, that is the question. And the reason is big oil companies give billions of dollars to Congressmen. They can tell you how to live your life when they don’t live by the same rules they pass for us to live by. They can tell us which healthcare we need, yet they don’t have the same health care that we do. They have a great healthcare system, it pays 100%. They get their full salaries until they die, yet everyday Americans are being laid off without any compensation at all. And all we’re concerned about is a gay couple getting married and a woman having an abortion?
Mitt Romney is probably going to be our next President, unless everyone thinks Obama is doing a great job – which he’s not. Romney is a corporate man. If he gets elected we’re just going to keep spiraling down that road to destruction. If Newt Geingrich is elected, it will be the same thing; if Rick Sanatorium gets elected it will be the same thing. In fact, Santorium is playing the abortion card now because he knows that’s what the voters want.
Ron Paul wants to quit sending billions of dollars to foreign countries. He wants to get out of the foreign countries and let them take care of their own problems. Maybe we should vote for Ron Paul, but that will never happen. That’s change that Americans aren’t ready for – Ignorance, that’s all it is.
We’re sending billions of dollars to Columbia to control drug traffic, yet drugs are a bigger problem today than ever before. We don’t even know where all that money is going. We have no idea whose hands it’s getting into, but we keep sending it to them.
Marijuana has been proven time and time again to be great medicine and it helps cancer patient’s deal with their pain, it cures stress, most of which is brought on by our government, and it’s far less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes, both of which are legal, but marijuana is illegal and always will be because the voters want it to be – ignorance, that’s all it is. Why will marijuana never be legal? Congress has too much to lose from the drug companies who put billions of dollars into their campaigns to keep it illegal. Meanwhile the voters are too strung out on Prozac and Valium to care.
Our prison system is over crowded with people who were caught smoking a weed that grows out of the ground. I read recently where police broke down a man’s door and went into his house and arrested him for sitting on his couch smoking marijuana while watching TV, hurting no one. Now he’s in prison with rapists and murderers and gang members, all because of one joint. There is something terribly wrong with this picture.
We’re sending billions of dollars to countries that don’t even like us and vote against us every time in the United Nations, yet we just sit back and let it happen. As long as abortion is illegal and gay couples can’t get married it’s okay. That is beyond pathetic, it’s detestable.
How do you think Barack Obama got elected when he knew nothing about how our government runs? He’d only been in Congress for one term and before that he was nothing but a community organizer. He wasn’t a community leader, he was a community organizer. Anybody can be a community organizer. He’s arrogant and he’s ignorant when it comes to policy, yet he was elected. Why, because black people voted for him just because he’s black. They thought that by electing a black president things would get better for them, but it didn’t happen, did it?
Mexicans have it better than Americans; they’re getting social security and didn’t even pay anything into it. No wonder our social security system is broke. I’m not against them coming to America for a better life, but I am against them taking jobs away from hard working Americans and living a life they haven’t earned. If they’re going to get social security, let them put something into it first. And if they’re going to live here, make them learn our language – English.
The unemployment rate is higher than ever in this country for both black and white people, so apparently electing Obama didn’t help the black people at all. But I’m sure they will vote for him again just because he’s the same color. They can’t see the big picture.
We need to set our priorities straight. We need to quit sending billions of dollars to other countries and start spending more on America. We’re building schools in other countries and at the same time we’re laying off teachers in America and cutting back on education. Education is the key. So why does our government keep cutting education, it’s simple - because they want to keep the voters ignorant. They don’t want smart voters; they want ignorant voters, the only kind that will vote for their two-faced sorry asses.
We can’t save the whole world, that’s obvious, so we need to quit trying. But we can be more concerned with who we vote for so things will change in this country.
Quit voting for the candidate that looks the best or the one who is the same color, or the one the TV tells you to vote for and vote for the one who is going to change the way our government is run. Do your own research; don’t leave it up to someone else. I know why you don’t do it. It’s because you’re too busy running you own life to worry about the politicians. And our government is why you don’t have the time. Politicians have made it that way on purpose. It’s a catch 22 and it in their favor and they love it.
We can bring about change. It can be done, we just have to quit being so ignorant when it comes to voting. If voters want change they can get it. All they have to do is vote for the right person. We need to vote for the one who will do what they say they will do. And if they don’t do it, vote them out. It’s that simple. Get on all the social networks, find like minded people and join together and let’s change the way our government is run.
If you can’t see that Barack Obama knows nothing about running the country and Mitt Romney is nothing more than just another corporate guy who’s going to do everything he can to get corporations everything they want, then you need to have your eyes checked.
People are ignorant when it comes to voting and our government wants to keep it that way because that’s the only way they’re going to get elected. Fortunately ignorance can be fixed and that’s the purpose of this article, to help you look beyond your ignorance and vote the right way.
Our country can get back on its feet but it’s going to be up to the voters, not the government to do it. Obviously our government can’t fix it; all they can do is make it worse.
America can’t take much more of this crap. Something has to change and it has to change pretty quickly. And that change needs to be this – quit being so ignorant when you vote.
