This country has suffered unbelievable embarrassment by the present bipartisan legislative and executive groups who are our governing bodies. It is my belief that politics was, and still is, what started and is still ruining what this country has stood for so many years. Our forefathers created a very workable constitution but I believe that the lawyers, who are supposed to make the truth known, do everything possible to get their defendant off. Even if the truth is buried in their depths of deception.
It is time that our legal advocates stopped using deception. There are so many cases in recent memory that were blatantly jury acquitted on "legalese," that our nation no longer trusts it. (It being our lawyer advocate system.)
We have learned that someone can be acquitted for a double murder if there is enough money to pay for a team. And we are now going to cremate a country that has for so many years been the envy of the world, simply because someone or somebody wants to control this country. I would not be at all surprised to learn sometime in the future that the forces are offshore, just as I have believed that the Kennedy assignations were instigated offshore.
Perhaps if we consider a woman for president much of the political control will lose its strength and will have to regroup. If we are careful this regrouping can be observed and any unwanted democratic influences squelched before they reach impeachment stages.
It is my thought that a woman president's time is at hand. I have never been a believer that a particular sex is more important or influential than another, but we need a woman who is different in thinking processes. Our present Secretary of State Madeline Albright is a prize example of this type of mental agility. There are many women who could qualify, therefore, I am not going to suggest a candidate. But to simply ask those who read this to consider that a dynamic change is due in our presidential election.
In the meantime, consider the damage to our world image if we remove our president from office. We will utter look like fools because regardless of what the lawyers say, we will be accused of removing him for a sex problem.
