I doubt it. But then, how can we expect them to be honest when the process as it stands today means that we elect who ever can come across as the latest political rock star. If you can give the sounds bites, if you have perfect hair and teeth, and all the skeletons are locked tightly away in your closet, you have a shot. You don't even need a platform, take your pick, go with what is popular.
We as the American people need to stop this vicious cycle. If we continue to allow the TV be our benchmark for candidates, we are lost. We need to question them, look into their eyes, see what kind of man or woman they are. If they have skeletons in the closet, that's ok. People are allowed to make mistakes, it's how they acknowledge them, learn from them and move on that really defines the measure of their character. Show me somebody without skeletons in their closet, and I'll show you somebody who just hasn't gotten caught.

Sarah Palin
I'm a conservative and am sick with of the establishment of the Republican party. But I don't believe Sarah Palin is the answer. She's dogma in a bra. She's cute to look at, and would fetch a good price for a playboy spread, but she is not smart enough to run the country, much less a state. She needs to become the standard for all that's wrong with the republican party and fade away.

What is the future?
Now I'm pissed.
The Obama administration has come up with a policy that is short-sighted and just plain stupid. They have killed funding for the Nasa plans for a moon-base. Now on the surface it doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's save the money for social programs and pumping up the economy. But let's take a look at this. If we take the money and spend it on social programs such as welfare and health care, that money supports the lowest levels of our society. The plain fact of the matter is when the government injects money into the economy, the money filters downward with a predictable savings rate. For instance, if a welfare mother gets $100 she will likely spend that money on groceries and rent. Nothing wrong there, but the money multiplier effect means that money doesn't gain any velocity as it filters through the economy.
If we inject that money at the top end of the economy, such as with high tech investments, that money goes from high tech company to high tech company supporting high value job after high value job. This multiplies the money and improves the country.
Welfare doesn't help a country. It increases the suck. It's a drag on the economy and society. It eventually leads to a society where it's ok to live off of the government. I have a serious problem with that. I work hard for my money, and I spend and save as I see fit. I want to live in a society of people who want to work and want to improve not only their own social stance, but society in general. You do not improve society by throwing money at it. You have to work at it.
So the Obama administration is pulling money from high value efforts to propping up the bottom of the economy. This is not a policy that will improve the country as a whole, but is a policy that guarantees it's decay.
