#26. Voting for Character in Politics?

I believe in the Universal Principle that Life reflects our consciousness, both individually and collectively. So through the consciousness of the masses, we are helping to create our group experiences in life. In other words, we get what we ask for!

Consider, for example, Hilliary Clinton spoke from her notes about landing in Bosnia and having to duck under sniper fire, as her life was in danger. In truth, nothing of the sort happened, so why tell such a lie, I asked? Her response to reporters was: "I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement." And shortly afterward, 623,294 people in Indiana voted to make her our next president. WOW!

Also consider that Barack Obama stated he had never heard those extreme kind of remarks from his pastor and mentor of 20 years, the man who had performed his marriage, baptized his children, and was like an uncle to him. Seems a little disingenuous to me. Obama stated: "I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother".

Not long afterwards, he disowned his pastor of 20 years. Does this mean he will also be willing to disown the black community and his own grandmother? But shortly afterward, 647,734 people in Indiana voted to make him our next president. WOW!

So I asked myself the question, why were over one million people accepting of them ... anyway? Have we not learned anything from our 'recent history'. The lack of character and integrity did not seem to matter. They could have stayed at home and not voted. Why? The answer: We get what we ask for ! The politicians are a reflection of our group consciousness. What do you say ???
