Other candidates.....them and I or is it me and them...

  Hello everyone,

  Anyone else excited about the prospect of a presidential election???  Thought so...me either.  To be inundated with debates, polls and ads for a full 18 months prior to an election...it can be overwhelming at times.  Granted, we need to know about the person we are electing...or rather, the Electoral College is electing.  Can't we get any information we want or need about a candidate online?  Yes and no.  Usually, online information has as much "slant" as FOX News and the information will lean whichever direction the link provides. 

  Today's post is going to be more about some observations now, and what you can expect from me in 2016.

Candidates for this and all prior elections LOVE to pose near the American flag....and who wouldn't?  It screams "patriotism" when it's in full view or used as a backdrop to a candidate.  I wouldn't.  I will have a blown up picture of my DD214.  That will show my years of Army service ( over 20 ), my deployments ( all four, as of now ) and all the awards I have earned for achievement and commendations.  You can't be more "patriotic" than someone that spent near half their life doing what they loved and believing in it.

Candidates for the upcoming election, both men and women are spending an hour or two before the debates or time in front of the camera getting make up applied.  Got to look your best...right?  My hair is short and receding...but not so bad.  I doubt I will be allowed to participate in the regular debates you will see on TV.....but if I do, I will forgo the make up and forgo the $10,000 Armani suit.  I like tweed.  So sue me.  Understandably, we don't want a president that looks like Quasimodo, but we don't need one that looks like a fairy tale prince or princess.

  Also, remember...polls do not pick presidents, or even predict who will become president.  That's all for today. Have a great Mid Week.
