Vote Out The Bums
The words revolt or revolution are being heard often in this election cycle. That’s no surprise. The wretched group primary candidates nauseates even the most harden electorate.
American citizens need a positive election mandate. They need to be motivated to increase their participation in the election process. They need a simple way to get meaningful, long-lasting reform in government. They need an election strategy that will work to take back their country from pathetic career politicians
“Vote Out The Bums” strategy aims to vote out every incumbent, at every level of government, every election. Are all incumbents bums? No, but in order to get meaningful governmental reform, all incumbents must go every election.
The founding fathers never envisioned the career politician. Career politicians have turned into a ruling class of out of touch, pampered, elitists. They are insulated from all the processes average citizens go through during everyday life. They are globalizing government towards socialism and funding it with an ever-increasing burdensome tax structure.
Critics of the “Vote Out The Bums” strategy will be the devious career politicians, the big money behind them and all pork-barrel recipients. They will use words like continuity, experience and world leadership/prestige. The answer to these critics is “you’ve made such a mess out of government and the electoral process that only about 25% of the American people vote anymore”.
Even the most inexperienced voter came be effective with the “Vote Out The Bums” strategy. Every voter just has to vote for the candidate who was NOT in that office before. If all the candidates for the office are new, choose the one that is least connected to the outgoing politician and government in general.
Does this mock the electoral process? No, U.S. citizens are saying that we are sick and tired of career politicians becoming a parasitic ruling class. The career politician takes from every citizen. They plant the seeds of class envy all the while mocking citizens of every class. They bribe the poor with promises and welfare checks. They entice the rich with tax loopholes then extort campaign contributions from them. They amused the vanishing middle class with entertainment and the illusion of participation in the political process (example: the Democrat’s primary process).
We’re tired of career politicians taking us to war with phony reasoning camouflaged in the word freedom. We’re tired of them selectively enforcing our laws. We’re tired of them ignoring the will of the people by appointing activist judges. We’re tired of them politicizing every individual, national and international tragedy. We’re tired of having a rollercoaster economy. We’re tired of inflation, partially brought on by government policies. We’re tired of ever rising food, health care, education, transportation and insurance costs.
We don’t like the evolved career politician. Our first elected leaders were volunteers. They met for several months every year. They worked in the private sector, making their own living. We now have what essentially is a vocational path to become a career politician. This path skips making an honest living and having a servant’s heart.
We’re not going to take it anymore. When politicians are in office for only one term, they won’t have the time or experience to wreck what little real freedom we have left in the U.S. “Vote Out The Bums” – period.
Every politician should have JFK’s quote as a personal motto: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”
Benchmarks need to be met before “Vote Out The Bums” strategy is victorious. In the coming months many benchmarks will be detailed.
