Colorado Reminds Us That We Can Change Things

Very often we all sit around complaining about the folks in government. We don’t like what they do, we hate their policies, etc, etc. The problem of course is that we feel helpless to change things. Yesterday the state of Colorado reminded us that we can replace politicians even after they are elected. By simply voting, we can remove those who think they know best and ignore the will of those whom they represent.

  The numbers and the reasons in Colorado are actually irrelevant. The results however were not only stunning but a real kick in the ass to politicians all over this country. Hopefully Americans watched and learned from this example. If you do not like a politician, don’t whine, go vote! I have said for years that Americans need to adopt a policy of “voting the bastards out”. No matter how good a politician appears to be, no matter what good deeds he/she has performed, they always, without exception, need to be replaced. It prevents the behavior we saw in Colorado, where these two politicians forgot that they were simply “employees” of the people and voted for what they themselves thought was best. That simply isn't the way it is supposed to work and in this case they were fired for it. Removing people from office by voting them out is logical and the correct thing to do, every time. There are no “good” politicians just less corrupt ones. If they do not have term limits, as a voter it is your job to simply move on and elect the other guy. You would be amazed at the changes that would happen to this country if you and I could train these people to understand that getting elected simply isn’t a guarantee of a lifetime job.

So the next time someone says their vote doesn’t count, remind them about Colorado. Remind them, that it is politicians who perpetuate the lie that “your vote doesn’t count”. Never, ever forget that those in office deserve the same respect that any other “servant” does. They serve at YOUR discretion and they need to pay closer attention to the will of their employers.
