True Politics

Politicans must make us believe
all the things they say they'll achieve
        and this is a must
         they must have our trust
which makes it easy for them to deceive.

Yes, that has too much of the truth in it. I think that starting this November and for the foreseeable future, it is time to end any incumbent. The malaise and the corruption are just too much for all of us to bear. Regards, Gerard

They lie, we believe, then the trust is broken. Partisanship and lobbying by special interest groups seem to take priority over the public's needs and wishes. I was easily deceived last time around, Ralph, but it's not going to happen again! We'll remember in November. Love, Carolyn
