Thank you for showing interest in being my representative in government. Please answer the following questions. If you pass, you will know because I will have voted for you in the next election.

1. The United States is what kind of government?

(note – this is a trick question, apparently – let’s look at some perceived answers, shall we?)

From pResident Barack Obama: WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) — U.S. President Barack Obama said the politics involved in the government shutdown and the debt ceiling “isn’t how our democracy works, and we have to stop it.” Source: Obama: Shutdown politics ‘isn’t how our democracy works’

From Representative Matt Salmon (R, AZ): “Our democracy has not always operated smoothly. Our Founding Fathers had fierce debates in Independence Hall before negotiating what would become the Constitution.” Source: Dear Mr. President: This shutdown isn’t a game

What I don’t understand is how these people can become some of the highest level “representatives” and not know this basic information.

Kinda sad, actually …

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
