President John Kennedy would be appalled at the behavior of the democratic party today. I am sure he would be a republican by now. I am sure he would have said, like Ronald Reagan " I didn't leave the democratic party, the party left me." When he made his great speech "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country?' The democrats these days seem to have forgotten that. They only want power for themselves and "The Party" they don't have the best interest of America at heart, this is obvious. Their gluttony for power is shameful. To purely hate the current administration so blindly that they are willing to sacrifice our brave soldiers with betrayal is beyond cowardly. Little more than a year ago, Hillary stood on the senate floor, and said "We support our troops and will provide them with anything they need, armaments, equipment, etc. Anything, just tell us." But a few months later, when the vote for appropriations was held, she voted no. " Hypocrite Hillary!" There used to be a time in this country when the "Brightest and the Best" were our leaders running for office, for the "Greater Good." Now, for too many years our choices have been "The Lesser of Two Evils," or "Dumb and Dumber." How did this happen? Our Founding Fathers would be horrified to see the "State of Affairs" our Great Country is in, has become. Our Founding Fathers never intended for public office to be a professional career. Career politicians are the worst/best embodiment of corruption. There are no "Statesmen" coming forward today. Our Founder's intent was for men (or women) of good character and moral conviction to come to serve a term or two with fresh ideas and construction, to contribute positive, then go home to their farms or businesses and give another "Good Fellow" a turn. To improve our Government and Country, Do Good For America! Term limits were beyond thought (beyond need). Today's politicians by and large are corrupt, power greedy, narcissistic and gluttonous. Pandering to the Purse seems to rule their lives. Without the power in controlling those lives of the "Great Unwashed Masses," and the dependent, uneducated underclass, i.e. intelectual idiots,myopic morons,minorities and sub-group minorities who's sense of "eternal victimization" is so transparent this is where they derive their corrupt power from. Without constantly pandering to and appeasing these groups, kept internally in politically bondage, these politicians would be unmasked for the cruel, manipulative leach like, demons they truly are. It's high time and long overdue that the true "Middle America" wake up and on next election day, throw all the incumbents out! Let's start fresh and anew, My Lord, things can't get any worse, unless we as a country do nothing. Richard S.Nicholson
