Why do we act like we know people that we don't?

As I See It.....regarding politicians, you don't know the person you're voting for, so stop acting like you do.  Those of us with an ounce of sense look at their voting record, listen to what they have to say, look at history and vote for the person that we agree with the most.  I've never talked to the people I've voted for, had dinner with them, picked their brain about anything or had any kind of personal interaction with them whatsoever (except for on a local level).  Yet, the majority of Americans choose to vote for someone based on how they look, whether they smile alot, what kind of feeling you get from them by seeing them on TV, what your best friend's husband's cousin has said about them.  Newsflash....you don't know these people.  You don't know if what they are saying is true and you certainly can't trust someone you've only seen on TV.

Those of us who live in reality know that people say things to get elected...things they have never believed and may never believe.  Yet, that's what we have to believe they mean.  I don't trust them or believe them 100%, but pray that they at least follow through with a good 30% of what they promise.  For those that act like they have it all figured your, YOU DON'T!  I know that's hard for you to hear, but it's truth.  The fact of the matter is that you don't know any more than the dumb ass who votes based on looks knows...you've just equipped yourself with knowledge that you hope is true. 

My point in this is to say that I'm sick of people acting like they know the answers and I'm sick of people acting like they can place blame on one person that they have never met, much less talked to.  And if you want to be part of the blame game that is going on Washington right now, go ahead, but you don't know any more than the next person...not really.  Talk it out, great, but if you're going to talk about how stupid everyone is, please include yourself.  As for the puppets in Congress, grow up!  Do the most basic thing you were put in office to do and put your dumbass agendas away.  Quit acting butt hurt about planned parenthood  clinics and healthcare and vote in a damn budget.
