I seem to go in cycles as far as my tolerance for politics goes. I regularly reach a point where it becomes intolerable to read another article about the absurdity of today’s election cycle. This seems to be one of those times. I just want this nomination process to end, the sooner the better so we can get to the next stage.
Not that the next stage will be any better but at least it will be different. I get it, many Americans are just pissed off about how politicians can say one thing and then turn around and do the opposite. I get it, but I don’t really see how this is all going to work out. Will common sense finally return to the majority of us who vote in the election cycle or will the frustration end with one, or even two “Jesse Ventura” candidates come this November. I or I don’t think anyone else has a clue.
So, here I am at RJsCorner now talking about almost anything but politics. Its time for another hiatus from the maddening drum of the current insanity. I used to be a politics hound, I watched both the Republican and Democrat conventions every four years. It has been a couple of decades since I have done that. Most now just seem to be advertisements for the already chosen candidate. I suspect it will be different this time around, at least in the GOP.
Cycles… that seems to be the way of life, everything in cycles so why should I be any different. Turn, turn, turn…
From time to time, I’ve needed to take mini-vacations from the political news this cycle. I alternate between feeling that it’s my duty to be knowledgeable and deciding that I need to take a little time away.
