“Of The People, By The People, For The People – Really?”
November 3, 2008 by Pastor Richard Brantley
McCAIN/PALIN – OBAMA/BIDEN or “We THE People?”
With the end now only hours away and Campaign Rivals swapping Barbs in their ‘stumping’ breathlessly between the few ‘Swing’ States that remain before “D” Day Tuesday, the real question is – Who the race is really all about?
When the last ballot has been cast, the final count is in, the Winner has given his acceptance speech and the Looser has attempted to bow out gracefully, will anyone remember What It Was Really All About – we the people?
Whoever gathers the largest vote and heads their procession in the direction of the White House to hang the drapes and start changing the names on the office doors, will live in luxury and be protected with the most respected security force on earth. And on the other side of the Isle, the ‘looser’ will still be a ‘Senator’, is exceedingly wealthy, and will likewise return to Washington to participate in nearly all that the ‘Winner’ enjoys, and where does that leave the billions of Americans who funded the whole thing in the first place?
Campaign rhetoric aside, what is the ‘Party in Power’ going to do to care for the “People in Power” who put them there with their blood, sweat and tears, and oh yeah – multiple hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars? For even while the corks are popping in the celebratory bottles in the meeting halls, and bars and high-rises, and block parties in both up-town and down-town main stream America – the far greater numbers throughout this great country will be shaking and quaking in fear and dread on a almost inhumane scale – with the trauma over the economic distress, growing unemployment, wars on two fronts and the other seemingly endless array of out-of-control issues that confront the “Joe-the-plumbers” on each block in America!
Sure – almost everyone has become a Cynic, but I want to know which candidate will tell me the truth about where our country really is financially and how the deficit is going to be paid down, and how I am going to be able to keep my home and job and hold him accountable for the unending promises that we were given and exactly – Who Is Rich after all? And lastly and most essentially – are we the people still in charge of America! Thank God – He is Still in Control!!!
