BOB NEY....
OR why I love republicans
*Gets up on Soap Box*
Allow me to start by saying that my philosophy on politics when it comes to the people involved is simple: there are good people on both sides and (must not cuss... must keep a high minded sort of debate... thingy) absolute dweebs on both sides, and those dweebs are the ones who muck up the process for the rest of us.
Cleveland.com posted a report today stating that Bob Ney... or Mr. "Abramoff? I don't know anyone by that name" has been asked by the League of Women Voters of Athens county to participate in a debate with his republican primary adversary. And, when given the option of six different dates said... "Nah... I ain't got the time" His opponent even stated he wouldn't talk about Abramoff, just policy. From the Ney camp? Silence, of course. This is great, no I mean really great, and honestly makes me think Bob Ney is the trustworthy open type of candidate (ehemm...). Now, I've never met his opponent, but I bet he's one of the good type of politicians I mentioned above and his willingness to set aside the tasty Abramoff niblets seems to point to that very fact. But, like all good republicans in time of scandal what does Nye do? Ignore, Deflect, Deny. And thus we see the fundamental problem with the Republican party today. The dweebs are leading while the good ones, the ones who really want to create a dialogue, get bloody ignored. Ok... so the democrats are pretty much doing the same thing but I am one, so i'm gonna complain less about them, deal (by the way, My ABC isn't Anyone but Capri it's Anyone But Clinton.. hillary, not bill). Anyways, from Bush to Nye to Taft, not a single one of these guys can stand up and say "Woops, I screwed up... sorry, now lets try and fix it." It is this head in the sand mode of blithly following policy after policy groudned (if i can even use that word) in rehtoric, bluster, and blind ideology that has lead us to where we are today. Hell, the most recent ABC poll (read the whole interview, though... i think it proves my point) puts Bush at 36% job approval, nearly reaching a Nixionan level of public agnst. This alone shows that people are no longer buying what top Republicans are selling.
*Gets up on even bigger soap box*
It's time for new voices, new plans, and programs from both parties which speak to the issues that we in Akron, Northeast Ohio, and across the nation are dealing with on a daily basis. But what will it take? Whoever shows me that will get my vote.
