Why does it seeme to that politicians, from either party become hell-bent on making stupid decisions (or what seem to be stupid decisions) as soon as they gain power. Let me be the first to say that I am glad that the Republican party is no longer in control of our government. It was getting pretty ridiculous. South America was laughing at our inability to govern ourselves.
Now, the Democrats, the party I affiliate myself with, is in power, we have the first woman speaker in history, and a big job to do. Why is it that Ms. Pelosi is making "audibles" from her chair that her party does not understand? Why is she seemingly going against what the majority of Democrats expect her to do. I understand that she is an individual who can think for herself, but there has to be some kind of organization here. She seems to take her personal affiliations with friends, and political backers over her obligations to listen to those around her. Sounds like someone else in a high ranking position in government.
Now, I am no more a political insider than I am a good speller, or a fan of algebra. I mean, I am the last person who should criticize those people who have obtained a high level of influence in our government, but then again, I am a voter. I am the one who has input into what decisions are made, at least that is the idea. I abandoned, long ago, the notion that we live in a democratic society. We don't. What we have here is a Republic. I know that is not new to everyone, but we need to remember it.
