Changing of the colors

It is interesting to see how politicians are changing their colors, their beliefs, their politics. The only important thing is to promise what they think the voters want to hear. With that get the financial support, go out to campaign and promise everything under the sun. The ultimate goal is to win! No wonder they are mostly lawyers.

Kyrsten Sinema, democratic senator from Arizona won her post on a democratic platform in 2018 and took her place in the Senate in 2029. She is a young lady of 46 years old. She is a lawyer and has several very high degrees. Anyway, her constituens believed her and her promises and voted her in.

On Friday she announced that she is no longer a Democrat but will be registered as an Independent. I mentioned before that I love to watch C-Span that shows Congress at work. Every time I watch the Senate channel and she happens to be in the chamber she always hangs out with the republican senators, never with the democrats. So, this move is no surprise to me.

What is the meaning to be an independent? Senate now has three independent senators and they really don't count. The word independent is exactly that. Just a word. They are tied by the hip to the democrats. She claims that being an independent will give her more freedom to vote as she sees it fit and not along party lines. Ha, Ha. Never saw that happen.

As I see it, she cheated her constituents. But this is what politicians do. They lie and cheat and now her position in 2024 will be questionable. This is American politics!
