There is the mythology, and then there are the facts. Quite a gap between those.

Right now, all I go off of is the speeches given by the candidates. From what I can tell, BOTH sides are talking a lot about how they can use the government to solve our problems. I think it would be refreshing to hear somebody talking from a perspective more like the JFK speech.
Like, if a candidate said that if he/she was elected, we'd be in for a rough 4 years because he'd be using our money to pay down the national debt, it would blow my mind. I'm just sick of being pandered to- we're in a bit of a rough spot nationally, and I certainly don't need cotton candy blown up my a$$.
