Why Can't Republicans Answer A Question?Every problem I see on the news, in the final moments before the election, stem from the fact that neither party can answer a straight question, at times. But, the Republicans have the hardest time. Every time I heard the question about jobs asked, or for that matter, any other domestic problem, they tried to say we don't understand the situation and that there is so much involved in the "equation" that we just don't understand the way they see it and that we are supposed to look at it "Their Way". We are talked to with a condescending attitude and treated as if we are too dumb to understand. WRONG! Politicians that tell you that you should look at it from their perspective have forgotten who is working for who. It is another case of "The Emperor's New Clothes". If we look at it from the tailor's perspective, who by the way is a crook, then the emperor is wearing beautiful clothes that we just aren't all sophisticated enough to see. And the people who don't want to be seen as stupid, mainly because they fear that they are, tell us that they see them in every detail. If we see it from a simple, realistic perspective, then, he is naked. You decide. Do you want to be told HOW to look at things or see them from your perspective. "Post 9/11" thinking is also known as "Fear Based Terror". The I.R.S. calls that 'voluntary compliance', being scared so bad that you are afraid to do anything but cooperate, without questioning anything. I don't know about you, but immediately after the 9/11 attacks and when everything was settling down, I remember being told that we should go on with our lives. I remember being told that the only way the terrorists win is if we allow them to control our lives in fear. George Bush's reaction to the latest Bin Laden video was to say that we aren't going a allow a terrorist to dictate how we act. So, if that is so, then, why is there a fear based "Post 9/11" mentallity being propagated by the same people who told us to go on with our lives? If you think that is the proper way to conduct business, then you must agree that so is Armed Robbery. It is the same principle. Give up my freedom and all my rights? Give up all my money? Give up my posessions? OK! Thanks for not shooting me. It is still a form of extortion. When I ask a question I want an answer, and I want the solution implemented, not just taken under advisement and discussed during an election year. Don't give me long dissertations when I ask a Yes or No question. Don't answer my question with a question or ask me to look at it in an unrealistic manner. Answer the damn question. NOW!
