Jeanette, all politicians do is talk and ask for money, regardless of whether a Republican, Democrat, or any of the other parties that labor in obscurity.

What we need is some true leadership, not lip service. No one is going to get that leadership by demanding it as that petition did. The only way to get the kind of leadership they’re searching for it to reject, by votes and deeds, those who don’t fill the role.

I’m one of those people who can be a follower more than a leader… up to the point where the person who is leading is leading me the wrong way. Then the usually passive leader in me comes to the forefront. We all have to be leaders to an extent if we want to make a difference; the kind of leadership that doesn’t bow to pressure from outside forces that attempt to overwhelm good common sense.

After hearing a few seconds’ worth of the script I stopped him and told him that I am sick and tired of the Republican Party bending over so we can get screwed and not standing up like men or women. I then told him if and when they find someone who will stand up and stop being screwed to call me for money, but not before that.

Then I hung up.

I would say I’m in the mold of Sarah Palin but I’m older so maybe I can go all egotistical and say, Palin is in the mold of me?
