Politicians

The pettiness of our politicians vying for attention a week before a national election is deplorable! They are squabbling like children who have never learned how to focus on the important issues confronting them. They show no embarrassment whatsoever as they use the flimsiest excuses to ridicule each other. Trivial information becomes magnified to the point where it’s discussed as a matter of national security! The really important issues facing the country have become instruments of mean, devious and vengeful rhetoric in the struggle to keep or gain power. The current level of statesmanship is so degraded it’s nothing more than a deceitful display of hidden agendas to further one’s own ambitions. We need ‘men to match our mountains’; statesmen with vision who can follow in the footsteps of our founding fathers.
