Out With the "Politicians" !

Am I the only one to whom it has occurred that the patently worst candidate to replace Senator Domenici is any regressive career politician, whose variant and circuitous motives are merely another political power grab, another rung on their ladders of influence?

We are innately capable of finding and essentially recruiting astute, competent and dedicated officials if only we aim slightly higher with our electoral choices.

Any of the current crop of political hacks and 'glad-handers' angling to replace Domenici would be fortunate to shine his shoes, much less fill them.

The foundations and integrity of our political system are in jeopardy when we knowingly overlook reputable and articulate potential candidates for these positions of great responsibility.
This inequity is proven when we repeatedly choose to elect the 'agenda-driven' political and social climbers who inevitably line-up when an office of this stature is in contention.

It is the cancer of power mongering and manipulation which has become, by default, the path to societal ruin for civilizations, once great,
who myopically chose to ignore these dangerous trajectories.

The most qualified candidate in the difficult times of trial to come may well be the person who consciously steers away from the presence and corruptible influences such positions seem to inspire.

This concept follows another adage in life;
"You get what you pay for."
With allowances for bad grammar, this premise proves we tend to elect whomever is standing in line and yelling the loudest.

It's time we reversed the trend which has brought us to the precipice of evolutionary and economic obscurity. DR
