I keep noticing this trend when ever i watch my "favorite" political talk shows on Sunday.I notice that there are huge biases for everything accept the things i need answers too.Where are the "special interest" groups when it comes to what (again) we thought we where voting for in the last election?Why do they keep telling me that the President,"my President" doesnt care what the people voted for.I thought he worked for me?What with it being "PUBLIC SERVICE" and all.When did it stop being about us and what we think?I asked a Senator that.I have yet to recieve a response
Youll have to escuse the immaturity of my ability to type.Im alittle nervous in writting this because i never thought i would feel as much as i do about politics and the people behind it.I saw your questioning of Secretary Rice before a commitee who's name escapes me but i think for the first time i considered crying when i heard your statment.This is odd for me because its been hard to feel anything since my return from Iraq last year.Between you,Senators Jim Webb,Joe Biden,and Chuck Hagel i dont no which one of you speaks for me more.However your questions where so much more important to my heart.It seemed like finally someone was asking the real tough questions that i no for a fact the troops are asking themselves because i was there to hear it.The way the troops are being represented is totally inaccurate in my opinion.They kep saying that the troops wanna "stay and finish the job" or that we realize the sacrifice and feel compelled to stay as an obligation to the fallen.Ive never understood how people can make choices to send someone into such a hell that is Iraq (lets face it) and never send any of there children?I no the president has 2 daughters that too my knowledge have yet to say anything about the war there father has brought on us or why they werent the first to enlist shortly after it started?The truth is,no one wants to send the important kids.They send the middle class and the people they say are brave and smart but this not the truth as i see it.I think Senator John Kerry ment what he said about being stuck in Iraq without education.Its not colligate education that i think he was talking about however.Political Education could have kept us out of Iraq but we never listened to that little voice in the back of ALL of our heads that said "hey,maybe this isnt such a good idea?".Thank you Senator Boxer for asking what i may never be able to say.What price will she pay,and how could she possibly understand?Not because she doesnt have children,but because theyve become so detached from the war they started.The say "send in another 22,000 troops" like where chips in a poker game.We are people.Real,living,breathing,and loving people whos lives are ruined on a daily basis by this war.We lose our husbands and wives because they grow tired of waiting for us.Our children forget who we are emotionally because its easier than getting to no a guy that will leave again in a few months.Our emotional and mental scars that will be with us forever.Yes the men and women in world war 2 went through worse and the people in vietnam went through more horrible warfare,but why does that make this okay?I keep hearing people tal about loses in past wars like theres a competition for how much of a generation of people can we really screw up before it truely becomes "like vietnam"?Why must it be "like vietnam"? We may be more loved when we come back but WE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE AS WHEN WE LEFT,and the people that "make the call" for the war to continue dont understand that.Where losing our lives and our families.So whos paying for this war?If we know its like vietnam and we eventually pulled out of vietnam after tens of thousands of loses why dont we LEARN FROM VIETNAM and make the resposible choise.Where so worried about our "resposibility" to the Iraqi people but weve forgotten our own.Where are the Katrina victims at now?Where are the jobs?Why do i have 2 jobs to survive and attempting to go to school while i ahev 2 jobs?When will my life be worth as much as Iraqi Freedom?Im sorry about whats happend to them and they have been delt a horrible hand but i must pay for there bad hand for the rest of my life and ITS NOT FAIR.They dont even want our Damocracy and those who do cant stand up and say so.Why do we keep sending billions to them when i need just as much help?Whos really paying the price?Certainly not the Bush administration.I hear that peoplethat high up in politics get phemnominal health care for life?Must be nice.To have so much,and sacrifice nothing more than a good nights sleep.
