Cross your cheatin’ heart

If the presidential election and the Nov. 2 election had any proverbial message to politicians it is this: You better make good on your promises or you are history.

President Obama and the Democrats did not deliver. Sure, they made some progressive legislation, but not the kind that they promised and we expected. The corporate criminals that put us in this mess are doing better than ever now, but nothing has changed for the middle class.

Rewarding reckless corporate greed, and preserving them at any cost was the fatal mistake for the Democrats. Nothing has improved at our borders, unemployment is getting worse as we continue to outsource our jobs to the lowest bidders, and the middle class is becoming extinct.

Have we had enough of the Democrat/Republican shuffle, or do we need another decade of it? The Nov. 2 election is your answer. The third parties that were our only hope were considered a waste of our vote. We demand “change,” but most of us will not vote for it. Suit yourselves.
