I’m talking political revolution.  Most polls are showing that the majority of Americans have lost faith in the government; we hear about Dubya’s 28% approval rating, but what’s often left out is that Congress is at 19% approval and the Supreme Court is right around 48% (those numbers are from a July Gallup Poll, I have no doubt the numbers have dropped for the first two since the “Market Meltdown.”).  When the highest approval from all 3 branches of government is still less than half, something is really wrong.

What should we do?

Well, I’m going to give you a slogan for this and future election seasons:  Parties Be Damned. I’m a registered Republican, and that’s the party line I tend to vote.  However, the two major parties are the problem.  Additionally, you cannot trust what a politician running for office tells you; they’re either going to spin their record to sound good to all audiences, or just flat-out lie about it.  Like it or not, to make an informed choice, you need to do some research on each candidate’s record.  I’m talking every candidate.  If it turns out the best choice to represent your state as a Senator is from the Constitution Party, vote for that person!  Don’t buy into that “voting third party is throwing your vote away!” garbage.  It’s that type of mentality that prevents true reform.

The future of this country is in our hands.  Vote for people that will truly make a difference; not just the person representing your favorite major party.  Voting is often a case of choosing the lesser evil, but we can change that!

Congress, even in opposition, will probably pass this thing.  Why?  Because the fear of being seen as not doing anything outweighs any desire to go with your gut and do what’s right.  This sentiment, to paraphrase Ron Paul, is probably going to turn a year-long severe recession in to an all-out depression.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s a card-carrying member of the ACLU, I’d consider voting for Bob Barr (does a Libertarian joining the ACLU even make sense?).  I disagree with the general isolationist policy of Libertarianism, but they have the best economic policy.  Let’s face it, the quickest way to lose the war on terror is for our economy to collapse.  It takes a lot of money to fund a war.

Sarah Palin had me jazzed to vote McCain, but she’s become “Queen Talking-Point” as of late.  I don’t want to hear a bunch of buzzwords, I want to know that you have a plan!

What to do, what to do…
