Thank You, Clint

I don't like America's political system. It is run by two parties and has become an endurance race between candidates that can keep their noses cleanest the longest.
In our senate and congressional races, we have candidates who more represent their parties, not their states.
It is halftime of the Super Bowl as I write this and just listened to the Clint Eastwood car commercial. And, I was thinking that if there were a persona like Eastwood that ran for President, wouldn't that be cool? It wouldn't have to be Eastwood himself, just a guy that'll call bullshit on something instead of trying to dance, slant, or spin. Somebody that'll say something is wrong, instead of finding 50 ways to make it sound right.
A guy that'll tell even the almighty press to go take a flying leap. We are a country of panzies. The politically correct have won and it looks like we'll get a Romney-Obama choice.
It may seem unAmerican, I don't know. I do know that it's disappointing that this has to be the way it is.
It may sound bitter. It probably is. We live in a time where not only are we in the midst of the wussification, most are embracing it.
Clint Eastwood's speech brought back a little of the patriotism in me. I can't remember the last time one of our leaders did that.
We need our leaders to call bullshit. We need leaders who will not do what's best for themselves or their party, but what is best for their country. The country that gave them that opportunity.
