Why I Hate Politics

You know what really grinds my gears? Politics and Politicians! There is something wrong with the whole political system, mainly the whole two party system. I have come to realize that republicans are always going to vote republican. Democrats are always going to vote democrat. I personally think this is bullshit. If Satan (R) "Hell" were to run against Osama Bin Laden (D) "who knows" what do yo think voting would look like? Republicans would vote for Satan just because he is republican. The same would happen for the democrats. They would not base it on whether the person would do a good job or anything like that. It is just based on belonging to a group. This is where the problems lie. You have senators who have illegitimate love children. People who write speeches to make them sound great. You have congressmen roaming around Washington with hookers and cocaine, but they are from your party so you voted them in.

I had my final Epiphany that I hated politics and politicians in 2009. Around the time the American Recovery and Investment Act was being signed into law I was in the middle of closing on our home. There was a tax break available to first time home buyers. The old one you had to pay back and the new one you didn't and was $500 more. I needed to find out if I needed to hold my closing back so I could get the best tax credit. I thought "hey I'll call my local congressman." I did and the secretary of his staff was very helpful and got me all the answers I needed. She called me back several times and just was overall a nice person. They won my vote, but only momentarily. A few months later I got a phone call from the congressman's office asking if we would be willing to have the congressman over to do a media event about the tax credit. I said "sure." I didn't think of it at the time, but I kind of felt obligated to do this because they helped me before. Wait a damn minute that is what they were supposed to do. It is their job and why they got elected. See you don't get anything for free in this world. Anyways my wife and I let them do their thing. I told the press secretary that we lived in the county. So the congressman shows up with dirty cowboyish work boots, and some dirty carhart pants. WTF I said we live in the county not on a fucking farm. It just really made me realize how fake politicians are. They really are just good actors. They are just always living as their characters (unless their banging strippers). The have hidden agendas and will work for campaign money by making promise to look out for their funders. I just don't agree with the political system and what it has come to. That's what really grinds my gears.
