People Without Souls

I like politics.
I admit, some people don't, but I do.
Here's why, it's the last chance for a process where someone wins and someone loses.
I've supported people in politics who have told me one thing and then changed their mind and lost all credibility. I'm not talking about something like changing their favorite color, I'm talking about important issues like government accountability and conservatively spending taxpayers' money.
Then, they attempt to cover their actions with misstatements and untrue statements. Then, to top it all off, they attempt to slander and lie about the others who caught them in the lie.
That's what I don't like about politics.
Who started it, it happens when you get a political party that was a committed group of people, and then grows. Then the political opportunity begin their work. They create small groups or organizations with conservative sounding names, or latch on to national groups with conservative names, and create local chapters. Sometimes they even have local charters.
Sadly, these groups are only designed to legitimacy and mask their extreme ideas that aren't necessarily conservative, but are more libertarian in nature.
Sadly, these groups then infect the conservative group they latch on to, and attempt to create dissention and problems.
They endorse people for elected office who aren't much more than political opportunity.
On Tuesday, August 22, 2006, there will be a decision made in an election which can determine the future of these organizations, and the future of people who care about politics and the public's right to know.
I'll keep you posted.
