Johnson could run as a democrat in New Mexico or Montana but he wouldn't stand a chance on either coast ... in either party. He is too liberal for the republicans and to conservative for the democrats. It leaves people like me who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative with no place to go. === Exactly right. As far as I'm concerned both of the major parties are controlled by loonies. It has become increasingly difficult for me to remain optimistic about this country. Never felt this way before. We have a totally dysfunctional government. Half the world hates us. Long term allies are abandoning us. Russia is reigniting the cold war. Over a dozen countries harbor ISIS or ISIS affiliates who want to kill us. The number of people on means-tested welfare is at an all time high. Unemployment numbers are skewed to appear to be improving but anyone actively searching the job market knows differently. This reminds me of the Carter years "malaise" but for different reasons and I think it's worse. Americans simply don't feel good about their country anymore. We need some fresh, strong leadership to deliver the country out of this psychological depression. Need someone to raise spirits, deliver some realistic reasons to be proud again and let that optimism fuel the way to a real recovery, international respect and leadership. Do you think things will change for the better once the current administration is put out to pasture? -- Respectfully submitted by Justan Laugh of the day from Krause "I'm not to blame anymore for the atmosphere in here. I've been "born again" as a nice guy." |
