The Haves and the Have not's

I’ve tried to leave this 2008 campaign for President of the United States alone ever sense the Michigan voters were disenfranchised. I’ve tied to leave the blog alone even though there was so much to write about concerning the elections. But, and when you use the word but, you erase every thing you’ve just said, the media just doesn’t get it. These elections are not about anything but the difference between the Haves and Have not’s.
The media is having the times of their lives analyzing this and that and getting it wrong. The people are coming out in droves to vote because of the uniqueness of the two candidates. Hillary is the voice and reprehensive of women, baby boomers and older. Women, especially white women have felt oppressed by their dominate and powerful white men. They feel this is their time to finally put men in their place. The media refuses to talk to feminist groups about who do they endorse. I’ll do it for you, 100% Hillary. (Men have women have not.) Women and their struggles to be equal just will not let them vote against gender lines.
McCain, the voice of things as usual, the status quo, saying the Union is fine and only needs some tweaking. Big business, deep pockets, money for the fortune 500 stays in place. (Big money and the powerful have, everyone else have not.)
Obama, the voice of change, is the representative of the people from the bottom up. The new verses the old, the fresh verses the stale, the changing of the guard, the youth and their turn, the separation and the end of an era from the baby boomers up, a new chapter in leadership. But the haves say they are not ready that they don’t have the experience. The world will come to an end, you will not be safe, you can’t make a deal, and hoping is a fairy tale.
The other candidates say change requires experience. To me their experience is saying that they know what’s best for me. It sounds like parents when their children tell them that they are leaving home to make it on their own. What parent is ready to except that? The only thing they should do is check on them and give them a chance, and support them so they don’t fall too hard, but don’t hold them back. We want them to be better then us, but we at some time or other must give them the rain to go forward and use our experience to guide them.
The youth is coming out to voice their time, to take control. The have not’s are coming out because they believe that finally they’ll be someone in power who’ll here them, who has experienced the same kind of life’s struggles that they themselves have lived, the middle class that is slowly eroding because of the closed government in power now, the old who is worried about their social security. (The have not’s, the people who believe in hope and know there must be a change or they will parish.)
Just think, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, or McCain. Reagan for eight years, Bush for four, Clinton for eight, Bush for eight, If I take out Ragan that’s twenty years of just two families. Look at this Nation. McCain wants to be Reagan and Clinton will be Clinton.
Their was no war for Bill to deal with so all the money was at home. Hillary still couldn’t get national health care going.
This nation has gone to hell and the experience has taken us there, or should I have said, the haves has taken us there. The children voting now only know of two families who have been in power and they don’t like it.
I think change and hope is in order this time unless the haves take it away at the convention.
Start a business, work it slow, marry it, take it as far as it will go with honest effort and advertise, and when you do, “Let Us Mind You Business”
