Fifteen months into this presidential campaign I’m sick of it all.  Sick of the candidates hammering away at each other as another state’s contest rolls nearer.  Sick of the media echo chamber presuming to speak for the American people.  Sick of Republicans and Democrats. Sick of endorsements and ads.  And sick of hearing who got “thrown under the bus.”

Let me tell you.  It ain’t Patti Solis Doyle or Barack Obama’s grandmother.  It ain’t Jeremiah Wright or Mark Penn.  It sure ain’t George Stephanopolous or Charlie Gibson.

It’s the American people.

While elected officials try to determine whether or not to endorse and mainstream media personalities chatter on about the latest trivial non-issue, we the people are gasping for breath out here.  We can’t afford to fill up our cars and buy groceries.  We’re praying no one in the family gets sick or has an accident.  We’re hoping we can make the next mortgage payment while Charlie Gibson is worrying about his capital gains tax.  Honestly!  And it’s been like this for years.

I say it’s time we throw our political elite and media mavens under the bus.  Vote ‘em out and unplug the radio and TV.  Enough is enough.
