Where Have All The Statesmen Gone?

A long time passing! We have not had a statesman, since Bobby Kennedy. Why do I say that? Easy, a statesman is someone who looks to the next generation; a politician looks to the next election. Sorry people, but if you take a close look at the field of candidates, both GOP and Dem, you will not find a statesman in the entire lot.

Bobby's stands were constructed to last a lifetime, or at least a generation. The lot now, the best they can accomplish is the next Congress. Bobby wanted the war to end, not of this group seems committed to that. Bobby wanted poverty to disappear, and now look at the new group, do they have anything in their speeches that even remotely sounds like they want poverty to end? Bobby wanted civil rights for all, watch the news, we were close, but no cigar.

The Afro-American forum that the GOP did not show up for in Baltimore is a good example. Bobby went against all advice to skip a speech in Indiana because of riots. He went in alone and made his speech and was appreciated for his guts. Find me one among ALL of today's candidates that would show that kind of guts. (long pause for thought) Give it up! Not one is a statesman with guts, they are however COWARDS with money.

The American people will get the leader they truly deserve--A COWARD with NO thought of the future beyond their next election! Truly what YOU DESERVE!
