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.
