Real Change

I am willing to actually make an honest attempt at running in 2020, which I will address on a future date. Whether that sounds silly or not, we the people are responsible for this country.

The ones that are regurgitated to the forefront ever 4 years by this ridiculous 2 party system of ours, are not of the people, by the people nor are they for the people. These political suits are there to make money and that's it. The common man is not in their best interest.

Obama's slogan of "Change" would stand a little bit taller had he picked someone not in his party affiliation. If you are going to "Change" this country, you have to start with the people inside. Recycling the same politicians in and out of major government offices is not "Change".

McCain is the same thing, but he did a little different. He actually went for the bold move of picking a VP that is not a complete Washington tool. Palin knows very little about a lot of things when it comes to foreign relations, economy on a grand scale, or pretty much anything else for that matter. Though she is inept in a lot of areas, she would bring a fresh, new, non clouded view of our flawed government system. But this is still not enough "Change" since she is already in the political drowning pool.

It is regular Joe people like us that need to make a stand and actually "Change" this country. As long as the upper 1% have control, us down here in the middle class will continue to suffer.

So this brings me to a question.

"Does experience really matter?" Lets break this down, shall we?

On one hand, we feel comfortable when a candidate or someone already in a high office, that has experience dealing with certain issues like economics, foreign police and health care. It's good to know that someone knows how to handle situations.

On the other hand, the past three presidential elections (including this year), we have been left with deciding the "Lesser of Two Evils". And one of the most common things you will hear gathered around your water cooler at work or on a blog online, is "We need an "Average Joe", middle classed citizen to run for president". So someone does, and the first thing out of everyone's mouth is, "He doesn't have any experience!".

So what's it going to be people? The same two people/parties every 4 years or finally allow someone in the Oval Office with a conscience, heart and love for your fellow man? Experience is gained by doing, not by being somewhere. You bring in an "Average Joe" with some knowledge and understanding of common sense, he/she learns as they go certain ways to handle things. And I am certain that if a middle classed commoner was in the Oval Office, he/she would bring a completely new aspect to how things should be done. Because lets face it, whats been done the past 80 years isn't working.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein.

We need a fresh, non political robot to make a "Change". We need an "Average Joe" to slap Capitol Hill in the face and remind them that this nation was founded on 3 simple things. Of the people, by the people and for the people.
