We have spoken!

So, November 2nd has come and gone(midterm elections for those wondering, what?) The people of America have spoken, and they have loudly insisted on an end to big Government. This is obvious to anyone looking at the results of the election with an open mind and no agenda. The Republicans in the House had a pickup of 63 seats(not done by either party since 1934, review history to see why.) In the Senate, Republicans picked up 7 seats(not as dramatic as first thought, but big none the less) Republicans were given control over the majority of State houses and Governorships(including those long held as Democrat bastions) A quick look at the political map will show 95% of the states now Red(red=republican/blue=democrat). How and why did this happen you wonder? This happened because Americans, many who have been uninterested and turned off during the election cycle, have become inspired and concerned over the direction our country has taken the last few years. And have become informed and involved. They have taken a stand for our Democratic Republic and decided that enough is enough, it's time to get our house in order. To put up or get out. The perverbial sleeping giant has been awakened. It is now our responsibility to stay awake and to stay informed and involved. As to why this happened, It is obvious to anyone looking at the results of this election with an open mind and no agenda, that this was a clear repudiation of the Presidents agenda.(not the President! simply his agenda!!) Americans have stated firmly we do not won't government control of our lives, we do not want government run health care,we do not wish to bailout failing companies favored by a few in Washington, we do not want to be ignored when we speak simply because you may not agree with what we say, we do not want our Constitution dismantled. We want a Government standing "For the people, by the people and with the people" The results of this election does not say,"Democrats bad, Republicans good" what is says is, "It's not working, and we have asked you to listen to us but you refused, so banished to your room for now until you learn your lesson" The cry a few years ago was "Change" well we are crying again and the cry is still "Change" and so we did. And if we continue to be ignored and mocked we will also throw you out on your butts. So listen up Washington. We sent you there to restore American exceptionalism, to restore Honor, to restore freedom,to restore our Constitution and to abide by its principles, We sent you to Washington to be our voice. Not to make nice with others, not to compromise our principles but to fight to the death for our principles. And if that is too much to ask, well then step aside, there are many who believe that is a small thing to ask. "I regret that I have but 1 life to give for my country" "We pledge our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor" The question to those we sent to Washington, Are theses words you know and understand? Are these words you are willing to live by? If not, we made the wrong choice, if so then stand beside us and stand up for America.

October Surprise!!

Well, with just over 30 days left before (hopefully) the greatest voter revolt in American history. We must all begin to prepare ourselves for what will undoubtedly become the headlines. "Republicans desire to hijack Social Security!", "RNC involved in sex coverup!", "Republicans secretly craft plan to not allow blacks to hold public office" Republicans vow to deport anyone with a hint of mexican blood running through their veins" And lets not forget the ever popular, "Republicans want old people to die!" Oh, but don't forget the November surprise either. "Voting machine malfunction causes 1000's of black voters to become disenfranchised!" "Ballots found to be tainted" "In some precincts voters told they are no longer registered and must wait until next year" And lets not forget, "Busload of Democrat voters runs out of gas on way to polls, never making it to cast their vote" Now the amazing thing is that, alot of people will read of these things and actually believe them. But, I really should not be too surprised, there are still those who believe Elvis is still alive somewhere in Nashville. And the National Enquire is the Nations newspaper of choice. It never seems to amaze me how people will stick their heads in the sand for 350 days of the year and be oblivious to the world around them or for that matter, the goings on in their own neighborhood. And suddenly pull it out in time to read the above headlines and believe them. Now I do not mind if you choose to have your head in the sand. What I mind, is that you decide to pull it out. Either stay informed and involved or not. Those who will go to the polls and cancel out my informed vote on the basis of what they heard on their local news or read in the paper yesterday is troubling to me. I contend that anyone who casts a vote based on anything they have heard from a candidate within the last 120 days before an election is somewhat casting a vote based on half truths and misguided information. You want to be an informed and educated voter? Cast your vote based on the record of those you are voting for, and conduct your own fact finding mission. Do not rely on the say so of your family,friends or neighbors or those running for office. Afterall, when was the last time you saw a commercial from a candidate saying, "Yes it is true, I do think I know better than you. And I will take your money and spemd it on my own pet projects, but trust me, it's for your own good" I am not trying to sway your vote one way or another. Although I have my preferrances. I am only asking you to stay informed, vote based on true facts & record. Not what they say while running for office. I am a HUGE Reagan and Bush fan, but I can fill pages with issues I disagreed with them on and wrote to them about at the time. There is no perfect candidate because there is no perfect people. So all that to say "GET READY FOR THE OCTOBER SURPRISE!" and then ask yourself, if this is so important to bring out now, why did you wait til now? If you had the good of the American people in mind, wouldn't it have been better to let us know right away? Oh, I see now. If I my kid is dying I should wait til the last minute, before I take them to the doctor. That way the Dr. will believe me and know just what to do. Oh how stupid do these politicians think you are? But even more, how often do we prove them right in their assesment of our intelligence?
