Perfect Politicians


  When do politicians and their parties take responsibility for something? The simple answer...never. How long can the blame be shifted to the other party who used to be in charge? A long time. Why do they keep looking backwards to place blame instead of ahead to how to fix it? I have no clue.

  A few years ago PM Stephen Harper said that the Liberal and NDP MP's were stopping them from getting things done. That was simply not true. With a majority government, the Conservatives could have passed anything their little hearts desired. But when they didn't keep their election promises they needed a scapegoat. And who better than their political opponents.

  Fast forward a few years and we are back in the same position with PM Trudeau. Looking for someone to blame. It seems to be a basic political move for everyone. I just want someone, anyone, to take responsibility for screwing up. You know, like adults are supposed to do.

  Then I change the channel and see a Trump flunky doing the exact same thing. Blaming Obama for something over a year after he is out of the job. Sooner or later something is your fault. Honestly I think voters would appreciate some honesty when it comes to politics. 

  All politicians are perfect....apparently. Nothing they do is ever wrong. If they think we are gullible enough to believe that, they will be surprised come election day. 

  Okay probably not.
