Had enough yet?

I can't believe our good fortune here in America. We have the most EVERYTHING in the world. If I could add one thing to the list of blessings we enjoy as citizens of this great nation it would be the ability to choose leaders who weren't complete washouts.

Do I chose McCain or Obama? What about Biden or Palin? What about neither? None of the above. Suppose I want to chose someone who is a real patriot, a real leader, a real person? What then? Do I search among the politically savy, those perpetually in the limelight, those that are held up before us as paragons of virtue? Who decides who these people are? The rich? The powerful? The elite?

I think I'll decide for myself. I'm not a well educated man...no college, no degree, no ph.D. I'm a regular, common everyday guy. I go to work, I take care of my family, I pay my taxes, I love my country. I worked at a variety of jobs in my search for "My Thing" in life. I've been a soldier, a salesman, a farmer, a rodeo wrangler, a firefighter, an EMT, and an electrician. I've served my country and my community. I was elected to the fire protection district board and the school board.
I've owned a couple of less than successful businesses. I've lived in the country, town and the big city. I enjoy sports and hunting and fishing. I own guns and enjoy shooting them.

All of this doesn't add up to much except to establish my credentials as an everyday American or what passes for one in my part of the country. I got tired of the same old song and dance, offered without remorse, by the big two parties. I started looking around at alternatives. I thought about moving somewhere else, New Zealand or Australia, for example. I decided that since I was a stubborn, mule-headed, opinionated cuss I might try making a difference here. I discovered the Constitution Party. It's made up of people like me. People who want this country to be what it used to be...what it can be again! This got me excited. Finally, something I can get behind and talk about with pride, something important enough to work hard for.

You need to take a look at the CP and see if there is anything there for you.
