2008 Presidential Politics Has Begun

It looks like everyone is getting ready for the next presidential election. Republicans and Democrats are all raising money and forming exploratory committees. It seems as though the Democrats feel emboldened by their recent victory. The Republicans have licked their wounds and are ready to get back to the fight. Polls are out that compare the potential candidates. What lessons should the candidates learn from the last election?

Democrats should realize that the American voter did not choose Democrats because of their tactics or rhetoric. They simply voted "NO". Despite all attempts to divide us into small warring factions, we exercised our right to vote the buggers out. We did not give a mandate to the liberals. We do this whenever one party controls everything because it doesn’t matter who’s in. You see, politicians think that their job is to make new laws and most of us don’t want more laws. More laws just mean more government and more government is a bad thing.

With the change of power, the politicians are all talking about bi-partisanship. They talked about the same thing when the last change took place. We, the American people, don’t want bi-partisanship. We want non-partisanship.

We elect people to represent us. Politicians think that we elect them to tell us what to do. We vote for our neighbors who seem to think like us. They win and move away thinking that we voted for them because we think they are smarter than us. Despite our current public school education, they are not smarter. We are smarter, that’s why we vote them out.
