We the People

    Carly Fiorina is a Republican Candidate for the Office of President of the United States.    She has spent most of her adult life in the corporate world, much of it as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, where she cut more than 20,000 jobs and, reportedly,  was eventually fired for poor performance.   Fiorina's vision is hazy beyond the Profit and Loss Statements of a company.  She appears to be only slightly aware of the working peasants outside the corporate gates and but a fleeting memory of  them standing on the dock as she sails away in the corporate yacht.  She finds issues such as minimum wage and labor unions rather boring and unnecessary. As a presidential candidate, however, she can grit her teeth,  hold her nose, and speak of the Middle Class almost as if they are real members of the human race and not simply grunt workers necessary to produce company profits.  (In all honesty, this noticeable discomfort was seen on the faces of nearly all of the candidates on t

    There is no way on God's green earth that this man will ever become our president!   Have you honestly sat down with the American political scene clearly in front of you and tried to understand what's going on, not from your partisan perspective, but from the nation's perspective?    If you have, you are a rare bird, indeed.  Most of us only see what we chose to see through our own ideological eyes.   There is no one (except maybe  the candidate himself) who thinks Donald Trump has the presidential posture, stance, image, behavior, or acumen to hold the most powerful office on earth.  Can you see Trump in high-level discussions with a world leader and they suddenly disagree with him?  Can you understand the fear of his management style - not just from foreign countries - but from THIS country?     The followers of Donald Trump are "mad as Hell" and they are jumping on "The Donald's" band wagon to show us all just how mad th

  Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL) is the odds-on favorite to be the GOP Nominee for President of the United States.  (source:  George H.W. Bush, Barbara Bush, George W. Bush, Laura Bush, and various other family members.)   Jeb doesn't seem a fitting name for an American President, so I have decided to change his first name to " Me Too!".   It will give him stature.  It will give him a proper standing in his lineage regarding the Bush Dynasty.  The Texas Clan of Bush must survive and prosper...and rule. And, a proper dynasty needs a proper sequence. We have weathered the George H.W. Bush presidency (one term only), the George W. Bush (two terms, unfortunately; one elected by the Conservative Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, and one by the mistakes of the confused, frightened and war-weary voters.)  Unlike getting hand-me-downs as a child, Me Too! is hoping for voters that will see him as new and different.  Perhaps no one will remember his bro

    Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) is running for President of the United States.  Since he announced, he has been saying things that virtually every American wants to hear - with the exception of the big money, anti-government, war hawks. Bernie calls a spade a gosh-darn shovel! He believes - and boldly states - that this country's Middle and Lower Class is disintegrating because the political leaders of America are funneling all advantages to the rich at the expense of everyone else. The wealthy want your retail buying dollars, your taxes, your votes, your workers to go home while they send their jobs overseas,  and your sons and daughters armed and ready when they concoct the next war to fund their pals in the military contracting business.   They have given the term 'war hawks' a whole new definition.  The Iraq 'War' proved that they can always find a reason to invade someone...even if they have to tell a few lies. The New Hampshire  polls tod

  Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the heir-apparent to Sen. Harry Reid's post as Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, has possibly traded good sense for his re-election money pit by stating he will vote against the Iran Deal.  His reasoning is vague and unimpressive:  "We don't have enough facts yet."  Meaning: "I've read it and my Israeli friends don't like it." What?  You are surprised one of our senators would trade his vote for some easy cash that could guarantee keeping him in office?  Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, the citizens of Israel,  and the Jewish contingency in New York have all made their wishes well known:  This deal must not pass!  We all remember the "GOP arranged trip" Netanyahu made to our U.S. House to convince our mugwumps not to allow this deal of the president to pass. It was as if Israel had become a voting member of our Legislature.  Israel is certainly one of our most admired allies, but when has America no

    Carly Fiorina is a Republican Candidate for President of the United States. She has never been elected to an office, but has decided that she's ready and might as well start with a small office - like the Oval one. Fiorina is sixty years old and Republican from Austin, Texas.  (yeah, I know...another one of those.)  Her greatest triumph was achieving the office of CEO of Hewlett-Packard and lopping off about 20,000 jobs.  She was ultimately fired as CEO in a contentious fight with the HP Board.  Up until that point, she had all the makings of another Mitt Romney.  Greed and a penchant for getting rid of the riffraff became her calling card.  Republicans around the country are looking at Fiorina and saying "my kind of hatchet lady."  She will do our bidding with gusto! A businesswoman through and through, tough, gritty, not afraid to eliminate American jobs - aside from laying off 20,000 HP jobs, she sent many more overseas - she is just what makes the b
