Molding voter thinking to suit their ambitions

During election campaigning, one realizes that Washington politicians view citizens as incapable of taking care of themselves. When analyzing the redundant rhetoric during any election cycle, one realizes that politicians wish to mold voter thinking to suit their own ambitions. For example, Washington politicians lie to “stupid” citizens by insinuating that they are not typical Washington politicians.

One example of a not-so-typical Washington politician is Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio. He has been in Washington for two decades. And has not promoted any earmarks.

A recent political ad promotes the impression that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is an evil entity. When thinking citizens analyze the function of that organization, they realize that the Chamber of Commerce is designed to promote business - you know, the economy - you know, jobs.

To attract voters who do not understand the workings of our economy, our president campaigns against pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast-food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers and anyone producing anything of value - like jobs.

Thinking citizens realize that the typical campaign forte of the Democrats is to attack individuals while refusing to defend their own unpopular votes for growing big government, growing deficit and our shrinking economy. Vote smart.
