Here's Hoping

Reading time 20 seconds

This may sound strange coming from a Democrat, but I’m kinda hoping the Republicans win the House of Representatives. Why? Because now they’d have to actually come up with a real plan to handle the massive debt they caused during the Bush years.

No longer could they kibitz from the bushes, they would now own the debt and have to come up with some real cuts the American people will tolerate. It’s a real problem because around 87 per cent of the debts are entitlements that can’t be touched, doesn’t leave them much to work with.

Let’s see how they trim what’s left by the four trillion they’d need to cut.

Democrates-The New Invertebrates

Reading time 25 seconds

I’m still waiting for change I can believe in. I became a Democrat because I believed the Republicans were too BIG BUSSINESS at the expense of the middle class.

Like most of those raised in a military household, and serving in Vietnam myself, I was a Republican. That ended with Regan. But then I was living in California when he was governor, so I had an unfair advantage. I really thought that things were going to be different with President Obama, but I guess not. And talk about being disappointed in a Democratic Senate! The Republican minority is eating their lunch and I don’t see the Dems putting up much of a fight. Of course, a bunch is up for re-election. I guess that’s more important than doing the right thing, fighting the good fight, and going down scrapping. Looks like business as usual, just trying to keep their jobs.

I keep getting requests for money from the Dems, but I just say not to bother me until they grow a backbone.

Crazy Pills

I‘ve been watching with disbelief as the media reports we are about to hand back the keys to the bunch that nearly ran us over a cliff. What? Am I taking crazy pills? What sense does it make to reward the Republicans with a return to power because you don’t like the way the Democrats are trying to clean up the mess they made? Sure you may disagree with the present administration’s handling of this crisis, but come on, give me a break here. The Democrats inherited two totally unfunded wars, a massive debt, the loss of over 600 thousand jobs a month, and an economy on the brink of collapse. Do you really think things will get better if we go back to the policies that got us here in the first place?

If you don’t know the answer, ask a ten year old kid.

Please, please before you vote, or decide not to, do some research. Find out what’s really going on, don’t just lash out blindly. Oh, and what the heck does, “Take my country back.” mean? Exactly what country are they talking about, and did they ask me? Sounds like a bunch of folks trying to impose their lifestyle on the rest of us. Isn’t that what they’re whining about? And while I’m at it, the rest of us have freedom from religion as much as Christians have a right to freedom of religion. Right?

Just take a good look before you leap.
