Really who cares?

Today I heard a sound bite on one of the conservative talk shows. The clip was of someone speaking on the subject of amnesty for illegals. The speaker was against the policy and was questioning why Senator Lindsy Graham is for it and selling out his countrymen. He then goes on in the soundbite to suggest that Senator Graham has a longtime secret that everyone in Washington has known about for years. Yet us little peons and the rest of the world are in the dark. He then goes on to suggest that political enemies in Washington are holding this deep, dark, secret over his head to sway him to support amnesty, I believe in any other part of the world this is called blackmail. Anyway in the clip he say's he is going to make it easy for Senator Graham to do the right thing by letting the world know about this secret, and he then announces to the world that Senator Graham is secretly Gay.

Now I don't know if there is any validity to this accusation or not. But here is what I do know. Senator's and all politicians need to get one thing straight. The far fringes of either political party may care about sexual orientation. But the average everyday voter like myself, could really give a shit.

Here's what we care about. Do your freaking job! You know the one you were elected for. And I don't mean write laws and pass them. I mean represent us, when you write your laws and pass them. In the end that's what you were elected to do. Represent us, not spend your time delving into the deep dark past of your colleague. Not spending your time trying to figure out how your going to keep your darkest secret a secret. Just get on with the business of the people.

Now I have a few words for Senator Graham, and the rest of his ilk. Let this be a lesson to you, if you want to run for public office, there is no place for secrets, and deception. This is the exact reason why. If you have any kind of skeleton in the closet that can keep you from representing the people in the way that you should, then you need to make the decision that you should not be in office. People will find out about your secret, and trust me they will, and they will use it to keep you from performing your elected duty in the manner that you see fit. So if you want to run, and are afraid of your past you need to do one of two things. Either don't run, because there is someone that can do the job better. Or come clean and let the chips fall where they may. If you don't get elected then you weren't supposed to be there in the first place.

And now for the people that would perform such blackmail. Again I say the average voter doesn't care. Whoever takes part in this low handed act, should at least be run out of office. We want honest, upstanding politicians on both sides of the isle. At the worst you should be taken out behind the woodshed and beaten. I'll take something in between like criminal charges of blackmail, or bribing a politician. I'm sure some crime has been committed here.

Then once this is all cleared up and out in the open Senator Graham; you can back to your job performing it as you see fit. And the rest of Washington will get the message that the voters don't care and we just want you to do your job representing us.

NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!
