Yikes!!!<br /><br />LA, I turned my ballot around within 24 hours of receiving it. Oregon votes by mail.<br /><br />Valerie, Great links. Seriously though, there must be some way we can come up with to greatly hinder lobbyists and move career politicians out. I mean all they seem to do is worry about keeping their jobs instead of actually voting on things and showing some spine.<br /><br />Anna, Good to hear from you!<br /><br />Martha TRW, Jack would be honored, although I think he would make a better VP. His platform of course is a chicken (without bones) in every bowl.<br /><br />ASG, We select them because that is all that is offered. Our system has made it almost impossible for anyone without a lot of money to run for most offices and who would want to open their lives up to the scrutiny of being a candidate? And lets look at what the voters put forth from a large field of candidates on the Republican side. It's a symbiotic relationship. You get what you vote for. <br /><br />Judy, This whole season has kind of been like a train wreck. You don't want to look but you just can't help it.<br /><br />Cindie, Me too. <br /><br />Peg, Well, thank you. I still think we have a system although in recent days I'm utterly dismayed that the FBI has in essence rigged/swayed our election with innuendo.<br /><br />Noreen, Thank you and welcome! We'll get back to the weaving, sewing and critter wrangling next week. :-) Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-60635595645867858532016-11-04T05:53:07.926-07:002016-11-04T05:53:07.926-07:00So true!

Australians are also fed up and just want out pollies to govern as they were elected to so. One thing is sure I love your little dog Jack and his sticky out tooth. My little dog is having his teeth cleaned and a lump checked out tomorrow. I know he is going to be a groggy doggy tomorrow and the next couple of days. Hope the election can be conducted with dignity and respect from now on. Janine.

We have term limits in the Michigan Legislature. Instead of new ideas and fresh blood, there is rolling nepotism as family members step in to run for a seat vacated by a spouse or parent. It has also given more power to lobbyists because legislatures come in to office not understanding the process. Instead of dealing with the firehose of imformation, they turn to lobbyists for the cliff notes version. And of course, more people through the legistlative pipeline creates more lobbyists. <br />Here are two articles":<br />http://www.freep.com/story/opinion/editorials/2015/10/03/case-against-term-limits-michigan-legislature/73229422/<br />http://michiganradio.org/post/our-system-term-limits-michigan-utter-failure<br />Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-40077743590237782132016-11-02T08:19:18.144-07:002016-11-02T08:19:18.144-07:00AMEN!!!AMEN!!!Anna Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370432306921337930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-28370299025776401552016-11-02T08:12:28.880-07:002016-11-02T08:12:28.880-07:00Jack!
