It's Time for a Change...

When it comes to a new president,
there are usually a variety of stages that the voting public goes through.
In the beginning, like a honeymoon, there is all love and compassion; by the end of year three, there getting ready to call out the riot police.

Here's a quick wrap up of the usual stages: .

Unrealistic acceptance: This is the time a president can do almost anything. Everyone loves him. He can walk on water; claim that he is a god; even produce miracles if the occasion arises.

Support: After eight months to a year, the flaws and cracks begin to show. Maybe he's not so good looking; maybe he really is inarticulate. But he is still your president and worthy of your support!


Disillusionment: Your president does something so stupid or so wrong, or, alternatively the truth comes out. Whatever the reason, you start asking yourself the question how you could have voted for such a dolt in the first place.

Sucking It In: Okay, he's not the best president, but he's the only president you have; therefore, if we have to go to the wall, I'd rather have him than that other untested joker!
This is the time that Americans have to stand tall. We have to what's necessary to keep our democracy together even if it means giving our hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries and the very rich--so that they will know that we support them--even if we don't agree with what they do...


Rejection: This stage is usually reached when you realize that that thing he did wrong or did stupidly, he is doing more and more routinely and you can't stand it anymore. This guy is not only dumb, he works at it. There is no longer any possibility of you supporting this guy and being able to look at yourself in the mirror any more at the same time. You are between a rock and a hard place and you've been considering therapy.


Time for a Change: This is when it gets so bad, that you are taking meds to eliminate the pain. Your family is telling you more and more that you are mumbling to yourself in ancient languages and foam is appearing on your lips. It is time when TV's are expendable and get kicked in regularly and the dog spends more time in hiding. It is a time when you are telling all of your friends who will still listen to you that this guy has to go. People have stopped "coming by" to chat. You get the odd notion that people are avoiding you. Moreover, this is the time that your patriotism is starting to kick in, you reread the Constitution and you start getting paranoid when dark cars slip up next to you with their darkened windows rolled up. This is the time you start showing that you really care who inhabits the top job in the land. At about the same time, you discover that that other guy you thought was a joker is looking a lot better now!....

Most of everyone I know who qualify as having half a brain are now at between "Rejection" and
"Time for a Change..." Inasmuch as we know that, how come the rest of us are still sitting idly by twiddling their thumbs. Can anyone answer me that?.

My only explanation: The sick guys are on the outside but in a cost saving Republican move several years ago, the government let the criminal types out of confinement and the sicko's out so that they could become good Republican voters. That's the only thing that makes sense!

What do they know anyway?
