The right to vote

[Back from the war]

I enjoyed the feeling that I was doing something most of you won't get to experience. I mourn my friends who did not come back, and try to keep up with the guys who lost a limb or some undefinable piece of themselves. What you can do for me is to vote. If I was doing anything over there, it was to come back to a country that still had the rights I learned about in school. The right to take a candidate and look him or her up and down, punch him in the gut and see if he was up for the fight. The right not to be run by people who say one thing to their people at home and vote a different way when they get to Washington. We had some great officers, but even they could get burned out trying to avoid the whack a mole ways of the bureaucracy. We all know the ones who have been in too long, who have lost the trust of the enlisted, who advertise themselves and have forgotten the mission, if they ever believed in the mission in the first place. The ones who are not leaders. Just survivors.

The vote allows you to get rid of the survivors in Congress, the dead wood that hangs on election after election, making false allegations against their opponents and false promises to the voters. Living a double life, with the wife and family on Long Island and the other life in Washington DC. Now one of these guys is getting found out. He is trying to keep it quiet until after the election, and the press, which agrees with his general voting pattern, is okay with not pressing him for any answers. As long as it does not hit the front page of Newsday, everyone can agree that it just has not happened. That's really not good enough, and we all know it. In Iraq, there would be a couple thousand protesters shaming the politician to resign. Here, the politicians have no shame. All that is left is to vote them out.

Get out on Tuesday. If you believe this country is on the wrong track, as 90% of us do, knock out any incumbent. Let them know that eight or ten years is enough time to get something done, and move on. Put some people from Long Island down there to work for Long Island to get us some private companies and jobs, and put the fear of God in the newly elected by indicating the clock is ticking on their time in office. I have been amazed at how the incumbent Members of Congress have failed to apologize for getting us into this mess. Bishop and Israel have been there for a decade. That's my definition of dead wood. Their outfit (Congress) needs to be shaken up. Please. Get out and vote. Knock out the incumbents. Put some heat under their butts. Get some new blood in there and we will find some leaders.

Many state officials who are conservatives cannot overcome the democratic rif raf fron NYC in our legislative bodies, but they deserve to re elected! Lets
see if Andrew Cuomo outs these undesirable elements in order to bring prosperity to our "empire state!" The Aqueduct Racino is proof positive that
these guys are gangsters.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. Cuomo is from NYC and he's one of them.
