Who's to blame for bad government?

The blame game has got to stop. It’s time we stop blaming others for ___________. Fill in the blank. It’s said that part of being a mature adult is that we make choices and accept the consequences. Eat too much; get fat. Drink do drugs; die or work to detox. Poor? Get a job, get an education. These personal blames are but a part of America’s immaturity.

Are you registered to vote, or do you blame? It’s often said, “I’m not voting because all politicians are the same.” Not really. Some government actually works for America to reduce taxes and find businesses that provide jobs. These government workers are customer service friendly, and they know they work for us. We informed voters need to vote the “do nothings” out of their cushy government jobs.


Look at Detroit and Cleveland; both war zones. Crime, murders of children, run down neighborhoods, bad schools with bad government. Yet, voters continue to vote for the same. Same political party, same person who screwed up the first time. How does one expect more when the same corrupt, stupid, lying, bad, greedy is re elected over and over?

Wake up and quit blaming and look to whom you are voting. Pay attention to what the issues are rather than the political party. Long ago, the idea that voters elected John F. Kennedy US President because he was young and handsome, or voted against him because he was Catholic was preposterous, but it happened. Recently, voters appeared to vote for Barack Hussein Obama US President because he was young, black and “the new hope.” Both were Democrats. Voters cannot blame because they got what they got.


It’s possible that we trusted Obama to represent his office with honor and complete regard for America, the world’s greatest country in the world. For those who trusted his speeches of transparency and that Obamacare would be cheaper and you’d get to keep your doctor, you get a pass the first time you voted for him. Those who understood Obama was not qualified, never held a job outside of protected government and still voted for him a second term; you got what you got.

I blame the 300,000 who did not vote as reason we got this President a second term. There, I’m not mature, but I got to vent.
