Divide and conquer; American politics business as usual.

Divide and conquer, a time tested fundamental military strategy fails to bring about National Unity. Who knew, this looked good on paper. When looking for an excuse for doing nothing for the past decades our hired political leaders have settled on a way of keeping the attention off of themselves , thrusting it back on the American populace by the use of division and blame. This is not new and it does work like a charm as they say especially in the internet age. Keeping the populace divided is one sure way of ensuring that there are no challenges from outside of the area of control. In the past we as American's have blamed the blacks, Jews,rich, poor, women ,gays and every ethnic, political or racial group for the indecision and outright failure of our experts to bring forth any ideas, other than hate,blame, division and mistrust. Many fed up American's are trying somewhat disappointingly to bring about change through a desire to establish term limits in order to keep career politician's from holding their seats indefinitely. This however is a fools errand as we already have these and they are called elections. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result blah, blah. Why then don't we American's try a different approach, send the incumbents home whenever there are signs of inactivity or impropriety. It's never my guy, yes it is .Gathering support for the removal of incumbents is much easier than it has ever been before thanks to the internet, too bad we don't use this tool to it's potential. Sure you post your displeasure on Facebook, too bad that is a closed forum and will only go to your limited group of friends and to some of their friends. State wide attention needs to be brought against your Congress people. Numbers, you need to reach high numbers of registered voters and get them to understand that changing the way we do things is the only way to accomplish the needed change. I don't know who the challenger is, yes this may be true but you do know who the incumbent is and if your satisfied with their job performance. Information is now provided to us via the internet. With just a few clicks we can learn most everything about someone and their views. Inaction is bringing America down inch by inch day by day.
