We've had enough of crybaby critics

The critics say, "Why don't they do this and why don't they do that?" when referring to our political leaders.

Well guess what, folks? We all make up the "they" to whom you are referring so we must vote.

We have to look up the facts on how are candidates have been voting and how they've been performing.

How can we know our candidates? Unfortunately we would have to live with them a good six months in order to have a good idea of what they stand for.

We can't do that, so what are our options? Certainly not biased newspapers or ugly online contributions, and radio and television cannot give us the whole truth.

Most of the average person's ideas are merely reflections of what they've seen or heard. If not for that fact, conversation would soon be lost.

The last significant thoughts, original thoughts came from Einstein.

It makes me wince to hear people say, that George Bush is the worst president that we've ever had. Especially when a 20-year-old tells me that. Stick around 10 more years, and you just may read that George Bush was one of the best.

Congress helps presidents make decisions. Foreign leaders may at times have some influence on decision making, and listening to the voice of the public of course is high on the list of priorities.

I would be happy to see more contributors and patriots and less crybaby critics.
