Posted this when they talked about the Congressional Gallery

[Reverenddel]

Well, I have two idiots as my Senators, and a Representative whose a freakin' flip-flopper on issues depending on the crowd. Also, I have a Governor I cannot stand...

I have no representation at a Federal Level, or Executive State level.

Who am I? The guy who gets up at 06:15, get's to work by 07:30, works till 18:00-19:00. Making less money than politicians, or some folks that I pay taxes to support, who either haven't accepted their skills are "out of date", their stances are "out of touch", or they're "out of controlled substances" needing a fix.

I want to be left alone by all government, but willing to pay taxes for infrastructure, defense of the NATION (AKA not "nation building"), and setting education requirements so people can choose whom they wish to educate their kids.

I don't want a "Police", "Nanny", or "Altered" state of any kind. Republicans, and Democrats are two sides of the same coin. I want a new coin.

The government should stay outta my bank account, bedroom, gun safe, and doctor's office.

Who am I? The guy you never hear represented in that gallery, on TV, in the media, or even in public forums

You just described half the people I know, and all the people in my family.

Well said, REV! Your eloquence is equaled only by your profundity. You should send that in to Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or somebody that might give it wider exposure. You could be the next Joe the plumber.

"Republicans, and Democrats are two sides of the same coin. I want a new coin."

Well said. You just summed up why I'm a Libertarian.
