Presidential Elections are.......

Tweet

Pointless. Before anyone gets all mad and tries to convince me that they aren't read this first... 1.) The president of the united states is like the spokesperson for a name brand company. A spokesperson may have their own specialized product they can sell, but for the most part all the promoting, marketing, hiring, etc is all done by other people. 2.) A little about the government. All bills must pass through congress. -Step 1: The bill goes to congress -Step 2: Congress wastes more time than necessary before deciding to agree or disagree on a bill. -Step 3: The president either signs the bill or vetos it. If the bill is veto'd by the president.... -Step 4: Congress can re-agree on the bill with another large majority and the bill becomes the law whether the president disagreed with it or not. Taking that into account, if either of the 'different' parties (They really aren't different, only different when it comes time for elections.. but its really one party deciding it all. People just refuse to open their eyes and see that.) who control congress wanted anything to change for the american people they could have changed it no matter who was in office. It just goes faster when the president is their 'party'. 3.) There isn't a separate party just one party (in terms of republicans/democrats) keeping the country divided so they can stay in power. If there were really two separate parties who cared about the country in different ways, then they would work for the American people and not spend money on ads during election years for you to keep them with decent jobs and great benefits. The majority of people in politics or not would promise you the world in exchange for that salary, tax breaks, and great benefits especially people struggling a lot in these times. For all those saying 'We need a republican in office' or 'Anyone but a republican in office' or 'Four more years for Obama' or 'Anyone but Obama'.... pay attention please for the love of whatever you worship or believe in. These people held positions for years. Once they are out of office, they still get paid. The former presidents and congress members alike. Who is paying them for their years out of office? The government. Who does the government get most of their money from? Taxpayers. They aren't two different parties. Hell, everyone says Romney and Obama have some of the same ideals... but they are from two 'different' parties right? Santorum doesn't stand a chance of winning over independent voters because he is an evangelical extremist and most women aren't thrilled about him either. Seriously give someone 50 million dollars and watch how the media puts them into the limelight unless the democratic-republican party (because that is what they are) pays more to put themselves into the limelight. I wouldn't be surprised if while the country is fighting about whose better... every time a new president is elected the democratic-republican party all gets together and laughing, joking, hell drinking, and more having a huge secret hush hush party while congratulating the "other" party on their acting capabilities and discussing strategies for who they want to pit against each other in next election and what one party can do to make the other people look bad and see if America buys it... which they know most of America will.
