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.

BiPartisianship?

Obama is going to reach out to Republicans to change the tone in Washington and to get bipartisan agreement. Here is the question: when did Obama make this promise? If you guessed during the campaign you are wrong (well you are right but that is not the answer I am looking for). Obama made this statement today.

President Obama has promised to reach out to Republicans during his fiscal summit. Of course, he left himself an exit by stating that some philosophical differences are impossible to overcome. (Here is the article).


Isnt this something? We have heard this one before. Here is a clue for President Obama: we are wise to you. When Obama, as most politicians, say "bipartisanship, they mean that the other side agrees with them. This is how he thinks. After all, he won the election. What a crock.
