The Goose, The Gander, The Gridlock, & The Gall

Election season is beginning to heat up and it is becoming painfully obvious that the Government/ Media Complex is prepared to do whatever it takes to get their agenda (re)elected. From the destruction of each Republican frontrunner as they stand up and have their voices heard to all the un-American crud emanating from Washington. It will be an interesting and exciting time to watch the politics devolve.

I feel good about whomever gets the Republican nomination, in ability to debate Obama and his media sycophants and in the character of the new resident in the oval office. There really is a stark contrast being drawn and in less than a year our voices will be heard, we can put an end to the subversive/communistic track this country has been careening toward for the last half century or more.

If we do not prevail in the coming elections I believe there will be little hope for this country to regain our past glory of excellence, individually and/or United we will be all but boxed in.

Somethings to Think About

Optimism: for remedy is at our beck and call, with leadership and courage its not over.

Doubtful: I can't help but think skin color matters not at all, its the character and content of the soul that needs no excuses.

Talk is cheap.

There are so many Tea Partiers and Conservatives who would vote for Herman Cain with no hesitation should he become the nominee, what say they then... racists?

Spend and Tax

The descriptor about the Liberal Way used to be tax and spend and it was so apropos it even became a pronoun. Now our country is on its heels with the European and world economies teetering right beside US. Who will catch them when they fall? Who will catch US when we fall?

PIIGS~ Portugal Ireland Italy Greece and Spain~ And those are the tip of the iceberg. England is not doing so hot, the Middle East is bubbling over and on top of that Russia and China are trying to claim a top spot. It seems foreign policy needs some attention, but can Hillary Clinton Primary Obama? Is that really the question, or the answer? If a debt in Greece of $11 Billion can derail the world economy What about the trillion$ Obama is putting US under?

So after the jobs speech didn't jump start the jobs market now we have an economic plan that will tax the wealthy 1.5 Trillion, and that will save the economy???!!!???

I have rarely gotten any work from a poor person, so if the rich people are brought down by Obamas Tax Scheme I can't see anything good out on the horizon for my job prospects.

Class warfare seems to be Obamas road to victory in 2012 in his own eyes. I guess the only consolation for average Americans may be that everything Obama has touched has turned to sh!t, so far. We won't get fooled again can be a rallying cry, again.

Hoping for change in 2012.

Through the Ceiling

The proof of what the political parties are made of is now evident if we all have the nerve to see things as they really are. Since 2007 the economy has been in a tractionless funk. Spending by the Federal Government has spiraled upward and is now out of control.

Both sides have some culpability in where we are right now. However, since 2007 the Democrat Party has had the advantage and responsibility. All the Republicans had since '07 was the Presidency for 2 years and now 1/2 year of majority in the House of Representatives. So you could say " Look what the Democrats have wrought" and be pretty accurate.

Now we get a taste of the desperation of the taxers and spenders as rumblings of Europes avalanche of debt are being felt here and signs are apparent we are headed for the same fate. Our "leader" now sounds more like he's trying to be our Dad than the "Messiah"some were so beguiled out of their vote for in 2008. 'Time to eat our peas', threats that social security checks won't go out, another summer of recovery, storming out of meetings is no way to lead from behind, either.

Its ironic that Baracks 2 and a half year spending spree has US on the edge of the cliff and now he has the nerve to play brinksmanship with those who can help him out of His jam. I heard a great analogy to the Debt Ceiling Negotiations, that its like Obama and the Dems are bargaining between Obama's position and Pelosi's instead of between a Liberals solution and what the Conservatives want to move US forward again.

The bully pulpit seems to be Barry's crutch right now as the reality that it is his spending that got US to this point might finally get to sink in if Boehner, Cantor and McConnell stick to their principles here. These are not election year politics at all, its the survival of a Nation at stake, and fiscal sanity has to be our cornerstone.

A lot of Americans have had to declare Bankruptcy, lose their homes , scale back their lifestyles and start over since this mess started 4+ years ago. We have learned how to jettison the dead weight and non essential budget busters in our households and businesses. It seems high time that the Federal, State and Local governments learn to do the same. It actually has to start with a budget however.

Sooner or later austerity will set in, and the sooner we get on the right road the sooner we can begin our journey back to prosperity. We are in danger of creating a whole lost generation if we don't start figuring out who knows what they are doing and who is learning on the job and messing everything up and needs to get reacquainted with the real private sector, job creating and productive sector of our once and future great economy.

Blame Game

Yesterday we got to hear from our highest echelon of Government all about how they spent so much and now its time to pay the bill. I just loved Obamas lament that the Republicans are putting off the measures like a kid who won't do their homework until the last minute. Since when is holding the line on what really needs to be done procrastination? Sasha and Malika I am certain are the stars of the Obama household and I am sure if our dear President asked them what to do they would most likely have a solution outside of blaming, smearing and condescending to opposition.

Obama loves the straw man tactic. Its an easy guy to pick apart and as he preaches to his base voters, most likely the only ones who cant remember that Obama and the Democrats have had 2 years of total Government control and have had both the Legislative houses for 4 years. Thats 2 years with majorities that could have accomplished great things if only they could find unity within their own party, which is most difficult when re election is the goal and policy the party line embraces divides and destroys the Nation.

So here we are with our proverbial car in the ditch, pointed at the cliff edge, gas tank on empty, oil light flashing, tires spinning, spewing smoke with our driver hoping everybody else sees our pile of debt through the passenger side mirror which states that objects appear smaller than they really are. That pile of debt is like a semi tractor trailer coming around the bend and anybody with eyes can see it now. But what do the architects of this predicament have in mind? The November 2012 election, thats what. Spinning the facts and hoping everyone forgets history and how we always used to get out of recessions and depressions.

Obama acts as if he has arrived from some distant galaxy and can step in and save the day because he has no culpability and no agenda and no problem with the truth. He is right about one thing though, we do need leadership right now. Like never before we are boxed in and there are really no tools left in the bag of tricks. Maybe that semi will stop and pull US out of the ditch, or maybe it will just knock US off the cliff. Then our country can get a new car and driver, or go back to riding horses or something.

*Is *Hostility War?

It depends on what the meaning of is is. and now it depends on the meaning of the word hostility.

Thats what happens when a lawyer is in charge. And a Constitutional Lawyer at that?

Shovel ready Jobs

Thank God some one is out there thinking that what's best for our country is growing the economy and jobs.
