They Only Care About Power

So the Republicans are going to take back the House and, perhaps, the Senate. Well, whoopie. Does anyone really think things are going to be different? Outside of Sean Hannity who is just an extension of the Republican National Committee, is there anyone with half a brain who believes that things will be different?

Here is the truth: politicians do not care about you nor do they care about what is best for their constituents. They only care about remaining in power. Period. Remember that the next time you vote.

Along the same lines: there is no difference between the two major political parties. Voting for a Democrat is almost the same as voting for a Republican. While their issues might be different, you will find they are the same in the end. What is the difference between Joe Lieberman and John McCain? NOTHING.

Sure, you can make the argument that Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner are miles apart. I would agree. However, when the Democrats are in charge like now, Boehner disagrees. Come January, when Princess Nancy is out on her boney ass, she will be turning up the Nay votes. But, do not forget that each is about maintaining (and growing) power.

The government spends too much money. Obama is hammered for running his deficits. Of course, Bush went through plenty of money himself. What is the difference if the spending is on pork like studying some stupid owl or giving it to Haliburton? Both take money out of your pockets.

As a sidebar, the Republicans cast themselves as the party of smaller government. They like to point to their idol Ronald Reagan. Lest we forget, Reagan spent huge sums of money on defense. Again, it matters none what it is spent on, in the end it comes from working people who pay taxes.

Ultimately, we need to kick all these bastards out of office. If you think you are being represented, then I want to drink your Kool-Aid. In the end, we are all being screwed in the interest of special interest. Taxation without representation. Seems I heard that mantra before.

Another Exaggeration Of The Powerful

I am shocked. Well, not really. According to Gallup, many Americans are believing that perhaps all the hysteria and gloom/doom surrounding global warming might be a tad over the top. It seems the percentage of people who are thinking this way is growing. Perhaps it is because the weather is getting cooler in many parts of the country. Record lows have a way of doing that.

According to a study just release, the number of independents who are skeptical is growing. You can read the statistics in this article here.

I find it ironic that this subject falls along party lines. To me, this shows that it became a political process. There is no science left in this debate. How come the percentage among the Republicans and Independents rose while the percentage for the Democrats remained the same? Obviously, the politics are influencing the beliefs of these people.

It is a crime that there are billions of dollars being spent on something that is nothing more than a massive marketing ploy. There might be some validity to some of the science. Yet, anything that is real was warped beyond recognition. Al Gore and his cronies are turning into the biggest liars in history. It might be time to take all those awards away from him.

Politics As Usual

For all the promises of change, we see it is business as usual for the nation's government. 

Obama promised more bi-partisanship.  Unfortunately, according to the vote on the "stimulus" package, there is more partisanship then ever before.  Obama got his spending bill through the House of Representatives by a vote of 244-188.  That is the good news.  The bad is that not a single Republican voted for it.  Not one.  So much for change.

Forgive me if I dwell in my own knowledge but how many times did I mention that this was coming.  There is no change in Washington because those in power are partisans who care little about the average person.  Each of them has an agenda which they are busy pushing through.  At present, we are seeing all liberal ideas passing since it is the Democrats in control.  If it was the other way around, we would see the Republicans putting up "abstinance" education as a stimulus. In the end, it is all bogus.

Obama will get his package.  He has such a majority that anything he desires is his.  And, with the scare job the media put on the public, we are looking at them agreeing with anything.  However, in the end, we need to remember that it was the government's intervention that created this mess.  If you think this stimulus is going to do anything productive, think again. You don't spend your way our of a dire financial situation.

Long Term Recession

I just finished watching the talking heads on t.v. covering what the politicians are doing to stimulate the economy. After listening to these yoyos, I can only conclude that we are going to feel the pains of this recession for a long time. Nothing these morons is proposing is going to make a bit of difference. The stimulus package is more political nonsense designed to fulfill campaign promises.

Certainly this is going to seem like an attack on the Democrats. Well, get use to it. This is their game. Presently, there is barely a Republican to be found in Washington. That is what happens when your party gets destroyed in an election. Now, the Democrats have a shot to fix things. Alas, like most political figures, they are going to fail miserably.

Obama said we are going to spend our way out of this situation. That is the craziest notion ever proposed. When things are going bad, is that the time to spend? Take a business. If sales slow, does that company go on a spending spree (only if you receive bailout money)? Of course not. How about if you are an individual? If you lose your job, is that the time to spend recklessly? Again, the answer is no. Then why does the government think that we should spend our way out of a recession? Because our leaders have no clue what makes the economy go.

Obviously, I have no faith in the government. It is a corrupt institution that is destined to fail. Presently, the American people are overtaxed to keep up with the excessive spending of the Federal government. Now, we are seeing the largest expansion in spending this country has ever seen. I only hope they can print the money fast enough to keep up.

Prepare yourself for double digit inflation. This will stifle an chance at rapid recovery.
