" An election is coming.
Universal peace is declared,
and the foxes have a sincere interest
in prolonging the lives
of the poultry. "
George Eliot
" Democracy is the only system
that persists in asking
the powers that be
whether they are the powers
that ought to be. "
Sydney J. Harris
" Hell, I never vote for anybody,
I always vote
against. "
W.C. Fields
"The (State)Capitol's
video surveillance system
to detect mischief in public areas
is dysfunctional only six years
after it was installed
and must be replaced.
Why bother?
Most mischief in the square building
occurs behind
closed doors."

" [Linda] Lingle practices the rhythm method
of political safe sex.
she rocks with conservatives
when she's in Washington
and rolls with moderates
at home. "
David Shapiro,
( of the former Hawaii Gov
now running for Senate )
" I want to be Senate majority leader
in order to make
Obama a one-term President."
Mitch McConnell
Republican US Senator
" We are in an election season,
and the test for any CANDIDATE
(emphasis mine)
is whether they can produce
results. "
Republican Eric Cantor (VA)
US House Majority Leader

So the avowed work
of a sitting US Senator
in a leadership position
at a time of crisis,
is to obstruct the President
of the Other Party;
BUT
The work of a Candidate
is to get things
DONE
(While the voters are looking
and deciding their votes.)
And THAT is why
we need
elections !
Thank you for visiting Friends!
May Providence protect YOU
from your 'leaders"
Warmly, cloudia
