I received three Emails today, from politicians. Graphically nice, and got their message across nicely, DONATE MONEY. Not one thing about their platform, their ideas, goals or ..... nothing. I was given a choice of amounts on most of them, and, if none of those amounts sounded good, I could donate any amount I wanted to.
Most want me to donate to fight the Special Interest Groups. Not an opponent, not an ideology, just the interests of someone else. I wonder why I no longer have any respect for politicians?
Fortunately there was a logo at the top so I would know who it was from, and the disclaimer at the bottom, one was even from Michigan, two others were out of state, and two in Ohio.
Let's do away with all the political rhetoric, the TV debates, the mailings, the hand shaking, the baby kissing, the parades, the phony greetings around election time. The one with the most money wins, and with any luck at all, the candidate will recoup all he spent, while in office, and more.
Maybe each candidate gets his/her own, one time, telethon, like Jerry Lewis, the most money wins. No lying, no innuendo, no promises ... one TV ad today, the candidate vowed to take care of everything in the state if he was elected. Superman could not have accomplished all he was going to take care of.
Another means of compiling money would be to somehow convert "Political Rhetoric" ... or, BS, to being useful as a fertilizer in agriculture.
