Enough with the volume, with the one up or got you moments. It’s way passed time to put aside the far left and the far rights views and have the two middles work together solving our Nations problems.
While it might be tough at first for those middle of the road Democrats and Republican officials to join together and get some real work done, if they just turn down the volume or ignore it and let the results speak for themselves.They would see a lot of Americans following along because we want what works. There is not a lot of difference between the Blue Dog Democrats and the Middle of the Road Republicans. In fact some Blue dogs Democrats are closer to most Republicans then the R.H.I.N.O. (republican in name only).
From border security,health care and national defense we have enough to build on to get some real things done. Once the main steam Americans see what the middle of the road politicians are working on they will get behind them. This is of course assuming that they are dealing with the issues with common sense.
For far too long we have allowed both fringes of each party dictate which direction the country is moving in. Most Americans want the same things, there is not much difference between the things they want. We all want to raise our family’s, plan for family vacations, retirement, college funds and supporting our local community. Another words we wish to be in charge of our lives. Most of us understand that there has to be some regulation, and we need laws to prevent chaos from taking over. However one thing we all can agree on, is using Common sense to run things. There is no reason to have a law on the books if its not enforced. If something does not work, change it to make it do so or just repeal it. We don’t need sweeping reform for each new bill congress wants to pass. Some things have been working pretty well. Could it be better? Sure however while shooting for perfection we sometimes fail to factor in the flexibility that allows programs to be helpful or that allow those programs to use common sense.
For way to long we have allowed lawyers to twist the word of law and get things changed or thumb their nose at the clear intent of the law because it was poorly written.
For far to long we have had the Unions trying to push what’s good for the Union and not the people they are supposed to represent. Take a moment to think about it, would it be better to not get a raise when times are tough then to have your job shipped out of the Country? Would you rather work for 2 bucks less then you make now then not work at all? The reality is we allowed ourselves to get caught up in the dollar race that we have shot, not only ourselves in the foot but our Nation as well. Of course we all want to make the most amount of money we can but at what cost? Is it better to make 60,000 this year and not have a job next year ? or would it be better to make 50,000 this year and have a job next year?
There comes a time when people have to put up or shut up. The time is now for all of us. We can’t keep heading in the direction we are and expect things to improve, as it sits now both political parties are more concerned of staying or getting into power then they are of fixing what’s wrong with our country.
The Governor of New Jersey , Chris Christie may not win the popularity contest but he will get the votes. Why ? Simple he is using common sense and speaking the truth of how he sees things, rather then telling us what he thinks we want to hear. I am sure he has days that he wishes he never ran or won the election, but while he is in office he seems to have made up his mind to do what the people of New Jersey are paying him to do. Which is making the tough decisions that have been kicked down the road for far to long. What I really like about him is he is not afraid of calling things like he sees them. Something that is rare in this day and age.
Just food for thought.
