The answer is Middle America

The sooner we as a nation reject the extreme right- and left- wing views and bullshit agendas that are so prevalent today and find common ground in the center, the sooner we can get the country back on its feet and maintain - at least for a few more decades - our global lead over the Asian tigers. Hell we might even solve some of the 1,677 or so very, very serious problems here in America. We need to get both extremist sides out of politics and in the gutter where they belong. They all need to shut the hell up and go away!


Try to understand that the world is not black and white, but rather various shades of grey. Personally I have liberal views in some regards ( environment, personal rights, morality, freedom of speech).) but conservative views in other areas (law enforcement, balanced budget, taxation).

Then we need to find people with intelligence (NOT POLITICIANS!!!) who can see all the gray areas of real life and start thinking completely out of the normal box to make some real, intelligent changes to our tax, prison, drugs, social benefits, health care, environment, big business rip offs, immigration systems just to name a few, which in most cases are complete failures. I think the biggest reason we are in our financial mess right now is because of the complete waste of money our approach to these problems causes.

My immediate suggestion is to vote all Republicans and all Democrats out of office as soon as possible. Who to vote for? ANYONE other than them. Look where both sides have gotten us so far.

Have you been satisfied?

I'm thinking that we all should go on down to the polls next election and where the ballot says "write in candidate" We should put Paul's name in there. I agree that we are in a mess and personally since Paul has been voted best Barber two years in a row I'm thinking we should give him a shot...He's exactly what we need and he doesn't need 500 administrative assitants at $500 an hour to make the cuts for him...What do ya say hmmmm?

I have been telling you for years Paul, run for something-City Council, whatever, start small. You could start the balls rolling. You are articulate and have a ton of common sense. If we could get a few more Huston types back in Washington we might see some changes. This is your time!
Huston in 2010!!!!

Seems like I may have read this somewhere before, oh yeah, it was that guy I thought made lots of sense on JH. I agree no more politicians.

Paul said...

Yea, I know you saw that on the JH Forum. That's because it was a conversation about this subject another guy and I were having in there. I just thought it was worthwhile and important enough to bring into my Blog.

As far as me running for some political office. This has been suggested several times before. My standard answer has always been and will be forever....."HELL NO!!!". The last thing in life I can tolerate is the kind of bullshit that one would have to put up with in the political arena. I don't kiss ass or bow down easily enough to do any good with that.

Thanks for the thought though.

I think this idea had real merit...


"Proposed" Amendment 28 to the US Constitution!

"Congress shall make no law that applies to any citizen of the United
States that does not apply equally to all US Senators and
Representatives and Congress shall make no law that applies to any
US Senator or Representative that does not apply equally to all citizens
of the United States . All existing laws and regulations that do not meet
these criteria shall be declared null and void!"
