I did something yesterday that I haven’t done publicly before, aside from doing so on a friend’s Facebook post.  I actually commented on a news agency’s political posting regarding Governor Christie and the George Washington Bridge lane closings.  I can officially tell you that if you have ever wondered where all the trolls are hiding…I found them.  The question was; “Do you think Christie knew and if so could this hurt his chances at being POTUS?”  My comment was this; “Whether he knew or not, still happened on his watch and he needs to be held accountable.”  I’ve seen tigers take more time to pounce.  First, take into account the numerous likes on my post.  Some people actually agreed with me.  Imagine that.  Now follow down to the “trolls”.  These are the people who lie in wait for the next available prey.  They hit my friend, who posted before me, first, then me.  Basically, what it came down to in their eyes is 1). Hillary Clinton & Pres. Obama should not be held accountable for their actions. (I’m guessing she’s referring to Benghazi.  Way to stay on topic).  2). The ever popular phrase ‘what difference does it make’,  3). It was only a road closure so no one is to blame. (tell that to the hundreds of drivers stuck in traffic for hours for no apparent reason), and last, but certainly not least, 4). Someone trying to assure me she was not nuts.  She would have done better by saying nothing.

This is only a small sampling of why this country is in the mess it’s in.  Primarily caused by people who think it’s okay for politicians to just walk away from whatever mess they, or their staff, those of whom they are responsible for, may have created and not be held accountable for their actions.  And I say this because these people will continue to put those political figures back in the saddle, over and over, no matter how many times they fall off their high horse.  And yet, these will be the same people complaining about how poor a job said cowboy is doing.  I always wonder what exactly someone sees when they support a candidate.  Is it the promise of a better life, or of the troops coming home for good, or lower taxes?  When you finally realize it’s all ploy to get you to vote for their candidate, maybe, just maybe, we’ll start to see a change.

Until then, look around you and see that things are not OK at the corral…..
