ANOTHER PROMISING CANDIDATE

ok I have to admit - I am a glutton for punishment! I hang around on FACEBOOK and get all the info on the latest candidates that are running in Florida-Thanks to Rick, Suzanne and Patrick! But I also listen to Fox news (obsessively so) I get the "Skinny" on other things going on in Washington.. It is rather depressing actually.
Today we heard from Senator Dorgan (D-ND) on how ALL the royalties from off-shore drilling (outside for 9 miles) should go to Washington! His excuse was to pay down the debt-but think about it...WHEN HAVE THEY EVER TOLD THE WHOLE TRUTH! I suspect it is because they are in trouble and need to "ENHANCE " the already budding slush find from TARP!
I suspect this jerk knows that the EPA,CONGRESS and The Idiots in Florida are blocking any drilling from 9 miles off shore, which means Dorgan WANTS IT ALL!
Before I send cash to anyone outside my district, I want to know if they have the" I want to use all of our resources-except the coast of Florida" or are they for using our GOD_GIVEN resources for the betterment of this COUNTRY!
For all of the howling against drilling in the Gulf-They neglect to take into account the advancements made they also are pandering to the "Eco-Freaks". There are ways-and they know it!
I, personally, have no use for someone who listens to the loudest voice and forgets about the solvency of this country. If they cannot separate their hunger for more campaign funding from "what is good for the country", they have no business in any race....
Anyone who thinks that this health-care bill will bring us prosperity or anyone who believes "Government is the answer" (in my book) should be shunned.
There-I am finished venting..... Now.I have no clue about this guy, but he appears worth looking into. I want my questions answered before I ever give a cent! But here is the entry that I copied for your perusal!

In my opinion, a Congressional Representative is elected to the House and sent to Washington, D.C. for two reasons: represent their constituents, and protect the Constitution.

RICK SCOTT???

MISS ME??? (I doubt it) but that's OK..... I must confess I have been to absorbed in what is going on and being said on face-book. I am frightened for our Country and yes, ANGRY!
As the primary season approaches, we can all piss, moan and groan about what is happening in Washington, but (as noted in the healthcare bill) we can not do a damn thing about it. Our calls, our protests go unheeded and those of us with whom the Administration takes exception to, have been vilified, lied about and slandered.....It gets a bit disheartening.
I have begun to pay attention to the Florida races statewide. I have a strong feeling that the only way to clean up Washington is for each of us to clean up our own back yard...... The excrement has piled up as we hoped Mother Nature would take care of it for us! (so to speak).
Everyone running for elective office must be scrutinized and vetted by us-the media won't do it and it is certain that the candidates themselves have been known to exaggerate (to say the least). It reminds one of the mate-match website parodies..What you see-ain't what you get!!!
We can learn a lot by the self-description of the would-be candidates.You must also ask the candidates directly for answers to the questions you want answered. If you get no response-look elsewhere. If you get what amounts to a jazzy retort to a 2-step question....look elsewhere, I have found that how a candidate responds during a campaign is usually the same way he/she will be once elected.....We see the results of electing someone on glib remarks, glamorous sidesteps, out and out lies, and false promises.
I vow to do better. I vow to stand up for my principle and my beliefs-no matter the cost. If my friends no longer speak to me and can not offer a better argument then they were not friends in the first place.
That being said (my English teacher just cringed-I know it) I had thoroughly check out Marco Rubio - Florida is lucky to have him! I pray the other 56(BHO's Country) er 49 states(America) have the same caliper of candidate to vote for.
My sights have been set for Washington. I vow to spend the same amount of time and research on the Florida Governorship. So far the race has been rather boring. The candidates are either Liberal or Conservative wanna-be (hasn't proven himself yet) and now we have Rick Scott.
Mr. Scott may prove himself to be a TRUE Conservative, but the jury is still out.
In Rick Scott's FAVOR:
He is NOT A LAWYER!
He has run a business
He is personable and appears comfortable in his own skin.
He believes in the Second amendment(Strongly)
He believes in LIFE and the preservation of Family
He actually seems to see a difference between LEGAL and ILLegal
I copied some of his campaign statement but I recommend that you go to his website and check him out. If you are on face-book-watch all of the videos posted with his speeches and comments..I believe you will be impressed.
The only "RED_FLAG" I have is his statement regarding energy. We need Nuke-plants,we .as Floridians must utilize ALL of our natural resources-not only for the benefit of the State, but also our Nation.
We must be able to drill off-shore and the state must benefit for the oil-leases. If the concern is truly Tourism, shipping oil in from great distances has a much greater
chance of accident (spillage) than a well maintained pipe-line over a short distance.
If the problem is "visual" (don't want to spoil the view) well make the oil companies create "Islands" ....neither of these perceived "problems" can not be over-come. The state needs the revenue from both oil and gas production and tourism...DEAL WITH IT! The country as a whole has been cheated out of our God-Given natural resources due to a loud, obnoxious,lying bunch of eco-freaks who could care less about the environment..they want your money and more government.
I too am a CONSERVATIONIST. This is natural. I too am a hunter and love the woods,the ocean,the lakes, and,yes, even the wildlife I hunt. I (as well as most hunters) understand the value of culling. We also understand that venison,wild duck,bison,have no chemicals in their systems and their meat is only as good as their food source. None of these creatures can survive without a good food source nor can they survive when their numbers grow faster and/or larger than their food source. On a personal note:hunting is much more economical and finer tasting than a cellophane wrapped,chemical-laden ,man-handled piece of meat! Plus you get gloves,vests,moccasins, eiderdown and really WARM hats! What can you do with cellophane? Choke a pet -but I suppose you do get those nasty little Styrofoam trays-eh? But I digress.....
With the exception of the oil-drilling thing....I do believe that Rick Scott is worth a "Look-see".
He could very well turn out to be our next Governor and, so far, we would be lucky to have him.
An excerpt from Rick Scott's Face-book profile:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rick-Scott/113553048669158

Our Second Amendment Rights
"As a member of the NRA and a hunter, I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. I will protect our fundamental right to keep and bear arms." - Rick Scott

Rick believes the right to self-defense is our most basic right. He owns several guns and enjoys hunting. With liberals in control of our federal government the Second Amendment is under assault. President Obama’s first appointment to the Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment DOES NOT apply to states. Rick knows that we must have a Governor who can stand up to federal officials who want to erode our basic right to keep and bear arms.
Rick is an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment and a hunter.
Rick is a member of the NRA and a strong supporter of Florida’s sportsmen.
Rick believes that we should appoint commonsense judges who will adhere to the Constitution and will NOT legislate from the bench.
Border Security
"A legal immigration system where everyone plays by the rules is fundamental to our economic and national security." - Rick Scott

Immigrants founded America and as the land of opportunity we should welcome those who play by the rules and enter our country legally. Our government has failed to keep its promise to the American people to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration. By definition anyone who is here illegally has broken our laws and mocked our laws. As a nation that is based on the rule of law we must reject amnesty, send those who are here illegally home and secure our borders.
Rick believes border security is an economic and national security issue.
Rick is opposed to amnesty and will fight amnesty for lawbreakers.
Rick believes those who immigrate to America must come here legally, play by the rules and respect our laws.
Environment
"We must be good stewards of our natural resources. Florida’s natural treasures are the corner stone of the tourism industry that drives our state’s economy, and our beaches, rivers, lakes and parks are what make Florida a great place to live and raise a family." - Rick Scott

Rick is committed to conserving Florida’s natural resources.
Rick is committed to preserving the Everglades.
Energy Independence

What is wrong with these guys????

I need help here folks. I am having a hard time understanding the logic behind inane commercials to remind us all that we need to do our civic duty and return the Census form (filled out).
Number 1: the commercial is inane,makes no sense or just plain difficult to watch.
Number2: I HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH THEY HAVE SPENT -I suspect they don't either,nor do they care.
Number 3: How much was spent mailing out notices to EVERYONE that the census will be in the mail in 2 weeks?
Hey folks, wake up sip the old coffee! THIS IS YOUR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING (and at this point your grand-children's money).
We have the equivalent of an Arizona Hot-Air Balloon fest going on in the House and Senate over Healthcare. By my calculations(granted my math stinks, but not as bad as theirs)Every word that comes out of Reid and Pelosie's mouth equals $1500.00. I timed her at appx. 100,000,000 words per minute- (Slight exaggeration)-WE ARE SCREWED!
Now that there is enough opposition, these two Yahoos are going to mess around with the rules so they can pass an unconstitutional piece of drivel anyway.
This is not the American political system that I studied in school.

The census could be printed on one of those 2-piece postcards-fill out the 3 LEGAL questions,tear it in half and drop it back in the mail!

Healthcare could be fixed with NO ADDITIONAL funding.
1. Pass a simple law that says "Loser Pays" in any and all lawsuits.
2. Repeal the 16th Amendment- once ratified replace with a 5% commerce tax to be collected at the State level. 2.5% to the state 2.5% TO THE FEDS-deal with it!
3. Repeal social security and medicare (including payroll deductions) for anyone born after 1970.
4. End federal funding of RD to Pharmasuticals.
5.Repeal all regulations pertaining to "Insurance Coverage". Allow "menu pricing" and Nationwide competition.
6. Privatize all Hospitals
7. Cease taxing savings accounts,intangibles,corporations,the dead,the air we breath, the water we drink...etc.....

Theses are steps to getting healthcare back in the hands of Doctors and patients.
The only "funding" the Federal Government should be doing is defense and National security,and interstate transportation systems.

Although it is debateable, Social Security Disability is laudable-It has been bastardized to include such things as obeseity,addiction and a myriad of other so called maladies instead of those disabilities that truly hinder ones ability to earn a living..This has to cease.

If the Feds get out of the way-The economy will grow,and the Americans will figure out how to solve all the rest....YOU ONLY NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE FAITH!

I NEED HELP FINDING STATESMEN IN FLORIDA!

Can anyone tell me if there are REAL people running for our State Legislature in FLorida? I am not even sure we have anyone but Alex Sink running for Governor.
It is most disheartening. We have Marcos Rubio running for the Senate,this is a good thing. We have Charlie Crist running for the Senate instead of Governor, this is also a good thing.
Unfortunately I hear nothing from Bill McCullum. I am afraid he is a just another Christ and is afraid to get out there and let anyone know about his true self. Sure he SAYS he is conservative, but so did Charlie and we got screwed.
This poor state has been rendered helpless to improve by a bunch a power hungry legislators and a California "wanna-be" Governor. IT SHOWS....
We have virtually no housing starts, so many exemptions for political insiders and contribute rs the tax system is useless,and so many deals made with the environmental "Wackos that our hands are tied when trying to lure new business.
The wimps will not fight the Sierra Club nor the "Big Tourist" Industry in order to use our God Given energy sources,nor will another Nuclear plant be built(regardless of what Obama says). The regulations,permits etc. are so convoluted even if Florida Power wanted to (really) it wouod take ten years(at least) lots of electric fee increase and an act of God to break down. Then, thank you to Obama, the one storage facility for the waste has been closed.
Some one has to have the "BRASS B---s " to stand up for this state and start to turn the tide on the corrupt "Good Ole Boy" network that currently controls this state and her well-being.
We have a wonderful state(or did) and for the 29 years that I have lived here, I have watched it go down hill to join the ranks of New England and California.
The entire time our legislatures and Governors have been enacting restrictions on business they have the audacity to complain they don't have enough money.
Our taxes have tripled, the Insurance Industry has received everything they asked for and now very few can afford to live here.
I suspect that if someone were to really dig, they would find the reason this state has such a high foreclosure rate is the sudden increase in homeowners insurance and real estate taxes. I firmly believe that a large number of people could afford their mortgages when they applied and bought their homes but the insurance companies raising their rates and Our "Government Insurance Citizens" charging outrageous rates and even more outrageous increases every year have made "TI" portion of the PITI, that's principle,interest,taxes,insurance (mortgage payment) quite suddenly out of their league. For example, the insurance and tax portion of my Mom's mortgage is almost twice what her principle and interest is.
If Crist REALLY wanted to fix all this, he would have pushed to have the Insurance companies go back to be "NATIONAL" and not SATE ONLY companies. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO,
he decided that the State could do better....
I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE!!!!!
This entire country is in a fix....Isn't there anyone out there that is honest and doesn't just run for the perks of power?

STOCKING STUFFER OR JUST "TOE-JAM"

The USA has received her second stocking stiffer-er-stuffer early.
Thank you to Sen. Nelson for allowing this"gift" to go to the Conference Committee, where they will, no doubt, decorate it to the nines to present to the American People with much aplomb.
 We (the American People) will no doubt) be portrayed as happy and gleeful that this has come so far.
 The first of the "Stiffers-er-stuffers was the climate change agreement in Copenhagan.  Thank God, the world can now tax our breathing. This tax had eluded the "Greenies" up until now. Thank you for enriching Al Gore and his cronies at the expense of us all......Oh how we look forward to next year(sigh).
 I would call my broker early Monday Morning and get the hell out of the stock market; Between "Climate control" and "Healthcare", the Democrats and Greenies will have succeeded in ruining the American dream in one weekend.
 Although nothing has been enacted yet, they are well on the way and have also succeeded in ruining my mood for the season. It is hard to be charitable when the Governments of the entire world are reaching into your pockets to steal you hard-earned cash for their own enrichment.
 The corruption of our legislative process has becme treasonous. I for one, will not obey their corrupt rulings. I will go to jail and hope that there is one lawyer out there that has read and understood the Constitution and is willing to fight with me. I am not wealthy enough,not Washington connected enough to have my voice heard in Washington and those creeps are making less likely that I (or you) will ever be able to acheive that kind of wealth.
 It is sickening. My thoughts and dreams for a Happy New Year start with the November Elections.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE PRAY FOR A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR

 Although the words are forbidden in all the quarters that truly need to hear them, I will say them again,"MERRY CHRISTMAS"!
 I am sorry that I have been delinquent in my posts, but it has been a busy time and thoughts of this administration have been to dark to expose. I fear for our troops, I fear for our economy and most of all, I fear for our country and our freedom.
 I wonder when the lies will not only be fully exposed, but reported on as much as Tiger Woods.
 I wonder when Statesmen will again reign in Congress.
 I wonder when grown-ups will again be in the Whitehouse.
 I wonder when criminal behavior will have REAL consequences.
 I wonder when our Constitution will again be admired, understood and abided by.
 I wonder...........................

GOV. CRIST-OH REALLY?????

 I have a hard time keeping a straight face when I hear our(Florida's) well-tanned, suave Governor declaring how he has lowered taxes,cut government, blah,blah,blah.
 He is also saying that (today) he is against the stimulus package or is he for it...hard to tell, but if it is Friday, he must be for it.
 He may have cut taxes for some, but I wasn't one of them, nor were any of my friend's or family's
taxes cut. If he is counting the property taxes, that was a shell game . For all the lowered taxes,property values went up, countys raised their millage rates, market rates went down,but the schools taxed on the higher County value....it is a mess!
 Insurance rates are still going through the roof and the more Insurance companies that leave Florida, the less competition. We have our FABULOUS Citizens Insurance (Sounds rather USSR-ish doesn't it) who has been chafing at the bit to raise rates and our "PUBLIC" Service Commission has granted rate increases to everyone they are friendly to.
 We knew the moment Gov. Crist hugged Obama that we were in for a time. Everything that this Governor touts as an "Example of great Governance" has backfired -costs have increased,people are leaving the state in droves because it is becoming a playground for the rich and famous-to Hell with the rest of us.
 There are no jobs, (The countiess and the state have killed the golden goose with impact fees,permit fees,environmental hoops to jump through,code de jours, etc.) The education system is so bogged down with red tape and paperwork that the teachers don't have time to teach and when they do they are forced to teach a politically correct curriculum that has no meaning.
 We have a Governor and Legislature than would rather be beholden to Washington, that maintain a sovereign state by using her God-Given resources. We now have a state that would rather fund China with "Green Technology" than drill for oil and gas off her own coast. Encouraging "green Technology is a scam at best, and a vicious attack on our way of life .
 By the way, did you know our light bulb companies in the USA have closed and laid off employees and china is making these stupid, mercury laden light bulbs?
 Having been forced to buy these things for our fan-light  they last two only stood two weeks of their five year energy savings.....THEY ARE A CROCK! You can't see diddley with them, if you break them it takes a phone call to "Poison Control" to legally dispose of the mess and they last about 1/10th of the stated guarantee. Sorry I have wasted more gas and "Precious elements" getting replacements than ever before!
 I don't trust these guys, I have to be convinced they mean what they say and say what they mean.....I am not so sure with Crist.
 I THINK I'LL STICK WITH RUBIO........ I don't care what the news media says(I don't believe them any more either).
 I suspect that if Gov. Crist is elected to the Senate, his vote will go with Olympia Snowe and the rest of the Democrats. I honestly don't know, it is hard to tell whether he is telling the truth now or before.....

UNLESS YOUR IN MAINE, YOU MUST HAVE A SENATOR WITH A BRAIN

Is it just me, or is there a definate disconnect with the Republicans in Maine verses the Conservatives?
 Please don't be fooled with Ms. Snowe's attempt at "Bi-partisanship". She has unilaterally decided that there should be a trigger for a "Public Health Option".
Talk about the "Wolf in sheep's clothing". Who gets to decide? Obamas minions?
  You guessed it, The government will decide if premiums go to high or exclude to much or .......
Don't be deceived, they will have Government controlled health-care one way or another.
  While you are contemplating the consequences of the health-care-they are going to slam through cap and trade!
 WE ARE SCREWED PEOPLE.....THEY WON'T LISTEN, THEY DON'T LISTEN, THEY DON'T CARE ONE WIT ABOUT YOU....THEY WANT THE POWER OVER YOU AND THEY WILL HAVE IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...
 You are now being classified as an extremist if you believe that the Constitution of The United States of America is the most important document ever written. You are an extremist if you believe that Government should be out of your personal business. You are an extremist if you disagree with this administration... FOR GOD SAKES - WAKE UP!
 They want your life,your labor,your choice,your family,you religion...everything....under their control and we have one year to make sure that everyone that values freedom, knows what is happening to them and get rid of the bastards that just want power.

SENSIBLE LAW OUT OF VERMONT???

A friend from Maine sent me the following e-mail. It is amazing that this bill is originating in the only state with an avowed socialist for a Representative ( or is it Senator).
After this weekends vote out of the House of Representatives, it is becoming more and more clear that the Dems in charge are using their power to control ,not only 1 sixth of our economy, but every aspect of our lives. The current president has a history of wanting to ban guns from everyone except his admirers and all of his friends from the last 20 years are Marxists. Put these two things together and we are in deep trouble. Bills such as these should be proposed in every state! There are enough naive people out there that have no interest in guns or have been conditioned to just be afraid of them. It is the damage done to them because they are unarmed or unwilling to defend themselves or their property that is a great economic burden on the rest of us, therefore, why shouldn't they pay the astronomical amount of money required to arrest,try, and imprison the perps and care for their injuries.
It seems to me that this is a sensible way to make cowards pay for services rendered.


Finally .... A Sensible Gun Registration Plan That Will Work:

Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution very
carefully, And his strict interpretation of these documents is popping
some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.

Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" and
Require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become
the First state to require a permit for the luxury of going about
unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun

Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not only
affirming the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a
clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was
advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a
"monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals

Vermont 's constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right
to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State" and those
persons who are "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be
required to "pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters
have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are
capable of responding to "any situation that may arise."

Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be
Required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and
driver's license number with the state. "There is a legitimate
government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state
should they be asked to do so," Maslack says

Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the
Least restrictive laws of any state... It's currently the only state
that allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
This combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has
resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the
system, but too early to shoot the bastards."

This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to Pay
taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns.
Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way.

HEALTH CARE BILL

WELL, THEY ARE DONG IT AGAIN!!!!!!
Time to note the jerks that vote yeah on this stupid,overpriced, over-controlling,over bloated piece of crap! The yeas are the ones to kick out of Congress and/or the Senate. Not only have(nor will) none of them read thIe abortion, they are so sure that it will pass, they are voting on a Saturday! This is BULL!
We now know that Queen Pelosi and her Jesters will try-they may succeed, but they will not survive the elections if I have my way.
It appears the thousands that were on the steps of the Whitehouse, were merely ants to be crushed, or mole-crickets in a pile of astro-turf......
HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT "HOPEY-CHANGEY" THING??????

WHAT IS GOING ON?

SORRY! I know it has been awhile, but I truly have been angry and didn't really want to tKE IT ALL OUT ON YOU!
Well, no more keeping it in....There is something afoot. I can't put a finger on the exact cause of my trepidation. I guess, there are many causes.
First: The lack of attention paid to 80% of the population that wants Government OUT of our homes,our lives,our pocketbooks and our healthcare.
Second: What appears to be the deliberate devaluation of our dollar
Third: The lies, deceit and corruption of this administration
Fourth: The infiltration of radicalized Muslims into our armed forces
Fifth: The total lack of anger,compassion,concern for the victims of Fort Hood and other places around the world that have been attacked by these radical muslims.
Sixth: The escalation of anarchy in neighborhoods. Beatings, killings, covert planning of chaos by teenagers and young men and women

There is more but these are immediate concerns. The is has been a dumbing down of our education system,demonization of those that create jobs,wealth, and a standard of living to be envied throughout the world. The signals coming from Washington are mostly lies.
Things are a mess and the controlling party in Washington appears to be doing their best to make things worse.
When Obama preached Hope and Change- I am now assuming he meant he meant just the opposite- despair and "No change (left). He is going to push through cap & trade, health care and anything else that will leave this country a third world toilet so he can take over and control every aspect of our lives. It is a backdoor to legislation to remove guns from every home,control what you eat and where you buy it. The whole plan is insidious, but the Dems are all for it.....What is their perception of impending power, may ultimately be their demise., for I suspect that once this president has the power he wants-they will be enslaved-right along with the rest of us.......
ALL YOU TEA-PARTIERS AND 9-12ERS, :no matter how frustrated and tired you have become, please do not give up! We all have to push on and continue our revolution. VOTE THE BUMS OUT! WORK HAD TO RETAIN THE GOOD ONES AND ELECT REAL PEOPLE TO OFFICE THAT HAVEN'T SIPPED THE KOOL-AID OF THE POTOMAC!

UNFORTUNATELY-POLITICS DO MATTER

HEY ALL YOU REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS! Politics do matter. It is up to the Conservatives out there to win over the "Politics as usual" gang. I know there are Democrats out there that are as conservative as I am. I also know that there are Republicans that are as conservative as I am....... There are races going on that the Republican party is spit and so are the Democrats...
WHAT TO DO?????? Convince those that are voting the status-Quo to vote their conscience.
I understand that voting for the Republican/Democrat(in Florida's case-Crist) may save the Senate seat for a Republican, but at what cost.If we are voting in the lesser of two evils-we are still voting in evil.....Make sense?
What if we all rallied for the PERSON that has read our constitution , believes in her, stands for her and VOWS to uphold her?
The party moniker no longer means anything-does it?
What difference does it make if you vote for the democratic candidate in Maine that lives and breathes socialism, marxism, communism or any other "ism" or a republican that does the same....absolutely none-we are still screwed-either way.
It is time to start rationally convincing those that vote because of recognition, to instead, vote for a human that understands what a short term in Congress means. It should be a service to their country, not a feather in their own cap.
I am sick of the Susan Collins, Olympia Snowes, Charlie Crists, Arnold Scwhartzneggers claiming the REPUBLICAN PARTY as their own and proceeding to become democratic patsies at every turn. Pelosi , Reid and Obama have play these people like a fiddle.
They have fallen for the bribes, the Newsworthiness, the perks bestowed and forgotten that they lived(not so many years ago) in the FINEST COUNTRY in the the world. They have forgotten that every time they go along, they get stabbed in the back shortly after. This is something that George Bush (43rd) didn't seen to get.
For the sake of this country-THROW THE BUMS OUT BEFORE THEY SCREW US UP PERMANENTLY!

IN A FIT OF RAGE.

I admit I wrote the following letter to Rep. Cantor. I am not sorry, nor am I ashamed. I am angry.
I am watching my country be systematically dismantled by a bunch of nonsensical elitists that want nothing more than eternal power and money.
They understand that the more they steal from us in the form of taxes, regulation, etc. the more they keep for themselves. The regulations they pass, the legislation they pass is for all of us, but not for them-they remain exempt.
I feel like the lone ranger, but I know I am not alone. This country is filled with hard working individuals that refuse to acknowledge the obstacles and press on. What happens if we all stop? Maybe it is about time we showed them.
Maybe we all ought to send a copy of ATLAS SHRUGGED to the white-house. Ayn Rand understood out rage,she lived through it......We should learn from her and find out own retreat. Dropping out feels like the right thing at this time.....

"AS LONG AS WE ARE STUCK WITH THE SUSAN COLLINS AND THE OLYMPIA SNOWES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THERE WILL BE NO HOPE OF RECOVERY. MR. GRAHAM,JOHN MCCAIN ETC ARE TRYING TO RECONFIGURE THIS PARTY FROM STRONG CONSERVATIVE VALUES,ECONOMIC SENSE,CONSTITUTIONAL ADHERENCE AND COMMON SENSE TO A PARTY OF WHINING POLITICALLY CORRECT DEMOCRAT WANNABEES THAT HAVE NO PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO GAIN POWER FOR THEMSELVES WHILE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND.
I(FOR ONE) AM HUNKERING DOWN,MAKING WHAT I NEED,GROWING WHAT I EAT AND HUNTING MY FATS CARBOHYDRATES AND PROTEINS! (I TRAP AFTER THEY BAN MY GUNS)
I HAVE A BATHTUB SO I CAN MAKE MNY OWN BEER AND A WONDERFULLY ROBUST GRAPEVINE FOR MY WINE.....WASHINGTON CAN EAT THEIR OWN OVERTAXED,OVER PROCESSED GARBAGE FROM CHINA THEY CALL FOOD. THEY CAN PURCHASE ALL THEIR "STUFF FROM OVERSEAS WHERE THEY HAVE DRIVEN OUR MANUFACTURERS WITH THEIR TAX POLICIES, THEY CAN KEEP THEIR PAOLA,KICKBACKS AND BRIBERY MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT OBEY THEM IF IT VIOLATES MY BELOVED CONSTITUTION; I WILL GO TO JAIL FIRST.
I REFUSE TO SEE A BUTCHER AND A REFERRAL SERVICE FOR MY HEALTHCARE AND I REFUSE TO OBEY A TYRANT THAT HAS NO LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY OR HER CONSTITUTION..... THIS WHOLE YEAR HAS CAUSED MORE DIVISIVENESS,ANGER AND ANGST THAN I CAN EVER REMEMBER IN MY LIFE TIME....IT HAS TO STOP. I VOW, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A DEM OR A REPUBLICAN THAT AIDES AND ABETS ANYTHING THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTS.
I write this in capital letters knowingly because I can find no other way to get across how angry and sad I am at the demise of my beloved country.
I toast her memory.......R.I.P. AMERICAN 1776-2008"

NO MIDDLE CLASS TAXES-EH?

It seems to me that (if you pay attention to the past) that every time fuel cost rise, our electric bill,our food costs,our energy costs and anything that requires shipping(everything we buy)all get higher as a result. Now equate that with this. Increase costs for healthcare on small business,large corporations,hospitals, doctors,Insurers,pharmacies etc......It will all "tricKle down"-yes-TRICKLE DOWN, to the consumer-that is YOU!
The sin taxes, already imposed, have already touched everyone in one way or another.
If yoiu think for one minute that these HEALTHCARE PUSHERS and CAP AND TRADE pushers have your best interests at heart-think again. It is all to line the pockets of Friends of Congress and Friends of the president. They are raping your wallets to enhance their own.
If we are a clever group(and I think we are) we would make sure that every one of the "Money-Grubbing, Power-Hungry creeps are thrown out of office and replaced with some sanity.
This scenario can not be allowed to continue or we will become a mirror image of the 1930's. I is already happening in California's
farm country under the auspices of saving a fish........BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

THE NEWS

There appears to be a problem...Who Knew?
I am watching Glenn Beck and he has a guy on(I am cooking scallops-not really paying attention until...) The guy tells me he doesn't know why the "Mainstream " news isn't covering ACORN and the like: I DO (or at least suspect).
The mainstream News will not cover it in depth as long as the participants are beholden to ACORN and they are Democrats.
If one Republican is connected to ACORN in anyway (including having a relative 16 times removed) then they will not only cover it, they will jump in with both feet and it will be headline news for the duration of Obama's presidency.
The world is upside down. I listen to people, every day, that have no idea how to change or stop the tsunami that has hit this country. There is anarchy,"thugocracies,usurpation, etc. gong on in any place that dares hold a Town Hall meeting or something of the like, and there appears to be no end.
Government is working for its own end and has completely ignored the people.
Representatives and Senators are completely ignorant of our Constitution.
AND MORE.....WE ARE PISSED...........
The only way to combat these idiots is untoward DEFIANCE! What ever they pass-IGNORE IT! Whatever they say-Treat it as a lie.
The Justice system can only take so much, and if past history is any indication, the laws won't be enforced anyway. If by some chance they are enforced, you get free healthcare and three squares a day, plus activities!
The Congress is making us all crazy. The president is withholding the meds to help.
I wish i could be paid so well to scew up so much.
We have done this. We need to undo it!

CONSTITUTION DAY

SEPT 17TH 222 YEARS AGO OUR CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN. IT IS A DOCUMENT THAT HAS PASSED THROUGH MANY A TOUGH TIME IN THE GOOD OLD USA.

IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 9 MONTHS SINCE WE ELECTED OBAMA, HE IS A PRESIDENT THAT HAS PROVEN THAT HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF.
Under Jimmy Carter, our constitution was placed in a closet and forgotten, Now we are experiencing the same. You folks out there who did not exist during the Carter years, have no idea of what you are in for. We, who have been through the Carter years, and now the Obama years, understand.
Unfortunately, not only is our Constitution being hidden behind very heavy doors, it is being dissected and discarded bits are being washed down a drain, never to be be recovered.
I let my flag fly today to catch a breeze and be be proud, if only for a moment of the Constitution. Tonight, she comes down and will be folded in the proper manner and will be retired until another day celebrating our heros comes to pass.
When those that understand what is at stake prevail, the she will fly again with ardor-night and day,in fine condition and well lit.
Until then, she will rest and give herself time to contemplate the demise of the document she represents.

a.c.o.r.n-JUST ANOTHER BUNCH OF NUTS?

Well Well. Thank you Glenn Beck and Rush Linbaugh and Fox News!
Those of us who are political and News junkies have known for a long time how corrupt the system is and how the polls,voter registration etc., have been.
We have watched with dismay , the race-bating, the manufactured emergencies, the basic CRAP coming out of this administration and others. The Democrats have circled the wagons and are trying to protect their primary donors and in the process calling all of us(black,white,hispanic etc....) racists if we speak out against anything they say or want to do.
Frankly, I am tired of being placed in a category...they don't know me-they don't care to know me-I don't have enough money or influence for their tastes.
A.C.O.R.N. has been their bread and butter for many years. They have been registering non-citizens,cartoon characters,some folks multiple times since the Clinton years(that I am aware of). All in the name of CHAOS. The more confusion, the more recounts, the more recounts, the greater the chance for "missing votes", "Found votes",etc. In other words, it gives the "powers that be" the time to manufacture their evidence and make sure their Guy gets in.
All of this HAS TO BE CORRECTED!
Again, I say thank you to Glenn Beck. He listened to a couple of amateur journalists with a cell-phone and has bravely exposed the basest of our society. It is up to Congress and a (probably as corrupt) Attorney General to investigate AC.O.R.N. from the bottom to the Top including their association with Congressmen and women and if it goes beyond that-so be it.I pray we can count on FOX news to provide an honest "back-up" investigation because I don't trust the existing administration,nor Congress to be thorough and honest.
So far, I don't believe that we (who speak out) are in peril, but I dare say that this country is. We are swiftly being taken over by a thugocracy that will not be easy to stop.
I don't know how to do it, but we have to turn out in numbers that can not be disputed on election day and vote every stinkin' one of the bums out that doesn't pass the "smell test". This goes for The house and the Senate....I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of it. BUT, I will not give them the satisfaction of resigning myself to their whims.....I will continue to speak out while I can and vote 'em out whenever I can.....

HEY ALL SMOKER NAZIES

OK , YOU GUYS WON! We smokers or recently quit smokers) can't afford the old stogies anymore-YOU HAPPY???? well we all told you if you put a big enough tax on 'em-we will stop buying(on the open market) and LOOK OUT_THEY WILL EVENTUALLY COME AFTER SOMETHING YOU LIKE!
TOLD YOU SO....... Now the Dems want to add a tax on soda to pay for "Government healthcare".
It( Government healthcare) hasn't passed, and they are already going after taxes on the masses.....
TRUST ME, they will not sot there.IT IS TWINKIE TAX TIME! Anything the food police don't like, they will tax the hell out of.
If i am wrong, there will be no demonization of the products that they want, only those they don't want ,to tax. If I am right, soda will become nothing less than a carcinogen, it will kill you, your children will die or become diabetic,or EVERYONE will die young from cancer.
The food police have been after us for years. Silly me, I eat bacon and eggs, make bread(and eat it),i eat dessert,etc.... all have been demonized at one time or another. First it's good, then it's bad,first it will cause cancer then it will prevent cancer. It is a game(I believe) of who gives the most donations).
If Government is providing your healthcare, they can tell you what is good for you and what is bad for you. Soda bad-tax it. Smoke-you are not eligible,eat more than 1000 calories a day, not eligible,too old,not eligible,wear heels,not eligible......They can tell you what to do and when to do it-cause they hold all the cards.
How sad, we have let it get this far.... Healthcare for High blood pressure would drop precipitously if these idiots would just leave us alone.......
Don't be fooled, people, they are not after FUll Coverage( high taxes discourage use-no pay in-no way to pay for), they are after CONTROL!

IT'S TUESDAY!

Well folks, it is Tuesday and due to the uproar(I suspect) the President has revamped his speech and removed the "add to curriculum" part.
We will probably never know what was in his original speech to the children, but I suspect that is not the point nor the cause of the uproar.
I suspect the problem is that from the beginning of his term as president, Obama has said one thing and done another. Black becomes white over night and all that is promised is forgotten. He seems to have a knack for telling one "fact" to one specific group, while explaining a contradictory statement to another group. This can occur in the same day or the same week. It makes no difference. The Point is.NO ONE TRUSTS him.
He has a royal collection of Marxists,Communists and downright America Haters in his Czarships (my word) and as friends. He has no problem declaring them friends to like-minded folks, but put him in front of someone with a different opinion, he has no problem throwing them under the bus(so to speak) (grandma,Rev. white,Ayles,Jones,etc...) So what should parents think?
Now he has published his speech to the kids and it appears to be uplifting and inspiring. Will he have a tele-prompter in the room? Will he allow questions? Will he stay on message? CAN he stay away from Socialist rhetoric?
If not, one little innocuous question, could lead to a 15 to 20 minute speech on the virtues of European education and the pitfalls of American Society as we knew it. I don't believe this would be what the parents bargained for, but it would be too late, the kids would hear it. He is the president. We have all been taught to respect the position. We didn't bargain on someone who hates this country,hates capitalism and hates our very Constitution, and we certainly don't want a person of such convictions influencing our children.

NOW IT IS GET THE KIDS!

I am sick......I thought I was going to vomit when I saw the promo for Obama. Theses are times (and there are few) that I am glad I couldn't have children.
Movie stars (young ones) pledging their allegiance to Obama "I pledge to serve the President" ? "I pledge to free the slaves"?
Good Lord, what is taking place is now a true CRISIS....
If I HAD children, they would be coming down with "something" next Tuesday. If the Superintendents of schools do not stop this,they do not deserve to remain in office.

The propaganda has gone to far. Brown is not now, nor has ever been my color ( REF:THE BROWN-SHIRST OF HILTLERS (young) ARMY). I refuse to become a person who says "it will not affect me". I will fight to my last breath..
For God sakes, some Obama "Heath care supporter" bit off a man's finger as a result of a confrontation stemming from a protest by regular citizens of this Country! And we are the ones inciting....We are called the" domestic Terrorists"!
It is sickening.
WE ALL NEED TO " MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER, OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR."
