WHEN WILL IT END?

Before you acuse me of being unpatriotic, Dear Reader, let me say up front that I hold democracy and the freedom it gives me in only the highest regard. I cherish it and I hope it never goes away nor do I forget those who have given so freely of themselves even paying the ultmate price to defend it.
But, having said that, I now must ask when will this election thing conclude?
Is it just me or does it seem like we've been electing a nominee, just a nominee now and not the President, forever and day? I can't go to the news anywhere without running across the latest Democratic/Republican doings. Yet, despite it all, I'm not hearing what I want to hear as in, "Mike, I understand your position completely; I just took my truck down to the gas station yesterday for a fillup and I almost overdrew my credit card." Or, perhaps, "Three seventy-five for a head of cauliflower! I went shopping last week, bought a few bags of stuff, and it cost me over a hundred dollars. Mike, I feel your pain."
See, that's what I want to hear. I'm tired of speeches, promises, points made while all of us sit and stew over a choice between fuel or food, medicine or shelter, a decent salary or upper-level poverty.
I tire of it all and I do so want it to be over.
