Is there a LEADER in the house?

Where have all the leaders gone?

Is this all we have to choose from?

Why is the machine forcing democrat vs. republican down my throat?

Why do I not know what any of these jokers stand for?

Is it because they stand for nothing other than some agenda gift-wrapped in hundred dollar bills?

I'd even go for a couple of mafioso-driven, sex-crazed brothers at this point. At least they could act like leaders. At least there was something for both young and old to get behind; something to believe in. At this point we have nothing to hope for but non-committal of some spineless aristocrats to a situation we have zero control over.
A situation we cannot win.
A war not war.

Whew...

That's what happens when I see a quality film. INSPIRATION!!!!!!
Inspiration is one of the most wonderful things in the universe. It's the only thing that keeps writers going. (OK, at least blog-writers that have no following and nothing better to do.)

Back to the rant...

So I ask you . . . where are the leaders?
What happened to the romantic relationship this country had with the President?
Was it overthrown by an idiot?
Could it be that it was ruined by an intern (or is it the other way around)?
Might it have been decimated by an actor?
It couldn't have been spoiled by a sissy, could it?
Is it possible it was cheapened by a liar? stolen by a crook?

Did we give up after Bobby and Dr. King were killed?
The dolts that have worn out the oval office furniture since aren't exactly filling up history books with heroic or powerful images. Maybe its just poor writing.

The American people voted these men into office, I know. But isn't choosing a candidate these days a little like ordering health food at a Dairy Queen? You try for a solid three minutes to find something that even remotely resembles a good choice; reduce yourself to something that will make you feel good; and settle on the fried chicken strips - without gravy.

At the very least I'd like to see someone who acted the part. Jack did it. Bobby's performance was masterful. You could even make the case that Clinton was pointed in the right direction. (That might have been a poor choice of words).

Nobody wants to save the world anymore. Or maybe those who do want to save the world realize they'd be saving it from themselves. Is that what happens? I once had aspirations of entering into politics and was immediately dissuaded by my father with the following sentiment:
"They all probably get in with good intentions, but the system washes those good intentions away and they wake up with just a job in a system they can't change."
Thanks for the vote of confidence, pop.
I know he wasn't speaking on behalf of the American people, but I believe he could have been.
Was he wrong?
