When I was a kid living on the border of Eastern Washinton, and Idaho we were treated to a log drive down the clearwater river, frome central Idaho to the Potlach Corp. mill in Lewiston. It was really something to see. Thousands of logs floating down the river, then guided into the mill by the crews of men. Occasionaly there would be a log jam. Too many logs in one place,getting jammed, into a tangled mess with logs pointing in all directions creating a dangerous cituation for the loggers and the men on the river. It was a cituation that that was to be avoided at all costs.
Here we are approximately two weeks away from from our own log jam Nov. 2. All of us have decisions to make concerning the status of our elected officials. Keep them or dump them.
It seems to be easy if you are voting along party lines. But what happens of you are not happy with the current elected official? I for one am not happy with the direction that the Democrats have taken us, but on the other hand I was not happy with the Republican agenda of the past eight years either.
To be honest the Tea Party has come closest to standing up for my beliefs, better than any other party. Less government, less intrusion into our lives, lower taxes. I have not seen the examples of racism that have been talked about and I have been watching as closely as possible.
I fear that if I vote democratic ticket I will get taxed to death, and if I vote Republican they will continue with their old tactics and there will be no improvement or compromise with the Obama administration.
I fear that we have allowed our Government to roll out of control for so long, and I mean at least since the end of ww11. I fear that the ability to compromise has been lost. The different interests only see their solution as the only one. We have done what I consider to be the biggest mistake in the history of our country. We have done our best to eliminate God from our schools, and our society.
Just another rant with no solution.
