The problems and blame rest with both parties equally filled with incumbent crooks. Congress spends all the money and the money crashed down on us 4 years ago when Barney Frank and Chris Dodd (who at least had the common decency not to try to run again... he's got plenty of goodies waiting for him from all the 10's of Billions he helped loot from our treasury) took charge. But it wouldn't have mattered all that much. The Republicsan hsd been more slowly emptying our coffers before that. This is not a problem that can be solved with R's or D's. What we need is some honest morality and common sense. Union workers can't expect to retire at 55 or with 90% of their pay and benefits. They also can't be bailed out before bond holders (I'd still like to see the constituionality of all that questioned). We can pay small town board members 500K a year for part time work. We have to stop the influx of slavery into the US. Illegal labor from illegal immigrants often equates to slavery. When it doesn't, then the claim of job stealing is true. Either way it's wrong. And their educational and health care drain is more than we can afford. Sad but true. They now toss "trillion" around in spending bills as if it's sanity. It's not. Most of it went to cronies and crooks and when each job created 200-300K each for low level temporary jobs and we allow that to happen without demanding the resignation of anyone involved in that legislation we've lost our collective minds. Can we all agree that passing ANY bill without reading it is criminal? Who really supports or tolerates that from either side?
Obama has turned into an extremely partisan socialist who has surrounded himself with communists and those who admire that ideology and is setting back race relations decades on purpose. I hadn't thought about someone's race in any context most of my life, but not we have a president and his evil minions call everyone who disagree's with his radical agenda. He's suggested limiting free speech he disagree's with and done all he can to divide our country the most it's been since the civil war.
For all the liberals and D's who are angry with the above, stand down. The R's have shown zero alternative leadership to solve problems. Though they've had little ways to stop things, real leaders would still find a way to be heard and included. And when they take back the house, I don't expect many solutions but rather a 2 year anti-Obama campaign while Obama continues the campaign he's never stopped running.
The Tea Party has put fear into both parties. They want to keep the equal division of the US left versus right so either side always has the same folks in power and trade a handful of seats each election. If a decent tea party candidate runs for President it will simple assure Obama's re-election. I bet the Dems fun a run by indie right wing candidates like the libertarians as well to make sure the vote on the right is split. All we can hope for is continued anti incumbent mood in both parties. The biggest hope for all of us is to get rid of as many professional politicians as possible. I'd also ban all lobbyists from any private contact with our reps. All lobbyist meetings and all other types of meetings other than national security issues should be videotaped and broadcast to the public in real time. Those reps are doing OUR business... we should have a right to be in on the meetings.
Shall I go on? = )
