I have reached an age where partisan politics holds no appeal for me. Even when those in power are not the best or the brightest, they still deserve my respect. They hold an office that is worthy of respect. It's not as bad or as dire as the opposition says it is. They are not as evil as their opponents say they are. Even if all there is is to agree to disagree, I can live with that. We have had a string of national leaders who have tarnished their elected offices by bad behavior. But the offices still command respect.
Our system for electing representatives is genius. The founding fathers were wise beyond their time in devising a system that still works perfectly. In spite of the effort of some radicals to dismantle or discredit our system, it still works just like it was intended to work.
I pray for our elected officials. God, help them to act in a manner worthy of their position. Amen.
One final thought. Staying in office beyond your ability to serve your constituents is very selfish. So is keeping someone in power when they should retire is also very selfish.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
