[don't] Take me to Your Leader.



It's getting hairy out there in the political world. Polls, debates, primaries, caucuses, kissing hands and shaking babies.

One thing I keep hearing is how both sides are clamoring for a leader (israelites 'we need a king!'). Well I'm not. I'm not desperate for someone to get in their and lead the country. At least, leading for the sake of leading. I'm not ready for complete health care overhauls, or amendments against this or that... yet.

I'm ready for someone to quietly go into office, and do a good job at running the country. You know, the day to day stuff. Make sure we are eating our veggies, and no one is trying to kill us. I'm ready for someone to actually go in and change the tone of discourse in Washington. Leaders get in the way. I want a worker. A public servant. Someone just to do his job, fix the stuff that shouldn't be broken in the first place, and head home in 4 years. Someone like that will do more for the future of this country than any 'leader' ever could.
