I'm not a registered Democrat. OK? Just to be clear, I tend to find out and then vote for those who appear to hold views of certain issues similar to mine. Isn't that how representative democracy is supposed to work? Unfortunately, deep corruption in our political parties has subverted that ideal. I was actually shocked that four Minnesota Representatives are so worried about being re-elected, rather than being worried about the future of the nation, that without even slight hesitation, they bow to the dictatorial authoritarianism of the man who currently leads the Republican presidential polls.
It has become almost impossible for anyone to be elected to a national office and maintain that position, unless from one of the smallest states and you are exceedingly careful. Our Congress is fast becoming a collection of performers, with few legislators like Betty McCullom and Angie Craig working hard to get actual useful legislation passed.
But it is ultimately up to we voters to resist the lure of big money and demand real work to hold honest helpful hearings that illuminate the best legislative roads follow.
And we Must Vote.
