They’re wearing us down.
That’s exactly what they want.
We’re constantly beating our heads against a wall to get anything done.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Anything at all!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
And not even that gets done.
They know we’ll either tire out completely or knock ourselves silly. It’s the old Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope trick.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Finally, exhausted, dispirited, defeated, we get in line and march like good little soldiers. We stop all the fussing and whining and do what we’re told to do.
There’s no real gridlock in government.
We’re just being trained. We’re being taught that all of our childish aspirations, our silly idealistic dreams for an egalitarian society, a humane society, a compassionate society, especially those foolish high-sounding phrases in the Constitution . . . are unachievable.
Freedom? Opportunity? Equality? Justice? Hah!
Pipe dreams.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Down down down go our expectations. Nothing gets done. We have gridlock, you know.
‘Tenhut! . . . right face! . . . harch! ‘Hut two three four . . . ‘hut two three four . . .
Bam! Bam! Bam! . . . go our feet on the pavement.
Bam! Bam! Bam! . . . go dreams ground to dust.
Bam! Bam! Bam! . . . yo! ‘hut two three four.
“Hey! Wudja look at them! They sure know how to march real pretty, huh?”
But you know what?
THERE IS A WAY TO FIGHT BACK!
Sure, the the U.S. Congress and Senate are full of traitors who have turned their backs on the American people, who ignore us and toady up to big money, big banks, the corporate elite, the bags-of-bullion bullies who fill their campaign coffers and line their pockets.
But there is a way to put a stop to it.
There is a way to make these miscreants either shape up or ship out.
Start with my previous post . . . Trust No Incumbent!
Then look at the posts which follow, outlining a plan that will take any incumbent down who insists that his rich friends with big check books are more important than you and I.
This offensive on corrupt politicians unfolds in the following blog posts . . .
Pledges: Candidate Contracts
How Pledges Can Work
The October Surprise
Pledge: Oil Industry Subsidies
Pledge: Social Security
Pledge: Medicare
Stay with me
Let’s work together.
Let’s take our country back!
Let’s restore a future for America!

I am doing what I can to address the destruction of our democratic system.
Without taking back our government, nothing will change.
In my new book, An Unlikely Truth, I offer the electoral strategy referred to in this post in the context of what I believe is an informative and inspiring story.
I sincerely believe this approach can effectively remove the crooks and liars from office, and begin to restore representative democracy to America.
An Unlikely Truth (Literary Vagabond Books) is now available worldwide in every popular ebook format and as a deluxe edition paperback.
An Unlikely Truth is a critical read for anyone who shares the progressive vision of a more peaceful, more humane, more democratic America.
