I was thinking on the way in how we are about to get the government we all deserve. We are asleep at the wheel politically speaking and cannot be bothered to pay attention.
The Republicans deserve to lose tomorrow. I wrote my US Senators, Isaakson and Chambliss several times last year regarding many issues....primarily illegal immigration, spending, and the outting of the terrorist programs. Isaakson wrote back (probably a staffer) with a form letter stating he agreed with me on illegal immigration and the NY Times....but it was clear from his writing he had no intentions of doing anything. Chambliss sent back some smart butt reply about how the Democrats are a party of no ideas and personal attacks......I simply replied that they are the party that you, Mr. Chambliss, will be rerporting to so what does that say about YOU? Mr. Chambliss will never get another vote from me.
The Republicans have had control since 1994 and have done nothing with it. The contract with America is dead and they have let our President swing in the wind while the Dems have rallied when the cause was needed. Under President GW Bush, spending (not counting the war spending) has increased more than under any other administration than EVER BEFORE. That's ever since the history of our Country.
For their part, the Democrats have lied, cheated, made our Country less secure in the name of votes (NY Times and other classified leaks), demeaned our President and troups in a time of war, said that our war was not winnable (how about that for our troops morale), said that Osama knew nothing about 9/11 but that Bush did and allowed it to happen, etc. For the love of all that is good and holy, Al Qaeda declared war on the US with their fatwa and Nancy Pelosi (who will most likely be our next Speaker of the House and two heartbeats from being PRESIDENT) had the gall to say that she doesn't think we are at war. I honestly do not see how anyone could vote for a Democrat for these very reasons.
I am ashamed of our leaders...all of them....but I have no choice but to prevent Nancy Pelosi from becoming Speaker of the House by voting Republican....not that I think they earned it.
By the way, if you have kids, I think that you should understand that Charlie Rangle who would head the tax writing committee said that there isn't a Bush tax cut that he would keep in place. That means capital gains cuts, inheritance taxes, marriage penalty for spouses with two working adults, and the coveted child tax credits (not deductions, CREDITS that reduce your tax liability 1 for 1) would all go away under Democratic leadership.
Think about what you are doing and go vote. Ask yourself who Osama Bin Laden would vote for....oh wait, we don't have to, he votes Democrat in his videos he released before the last elections.
If there was a viable third option that would secure our borders, protect our country, prosecute the war on terrorism, and not raise our taxes, I would kick the Republicans and the Democrats to the curb. But there isn't so I will have to go with the party that makes sure we are here.
Consistently there has been a party trying to protect us and that has been the Republicans. Alternately, there has been a party that has done everything to prevent wire tapping terrorists, money tapping, and everything else they can to prevent Bush from making us safer. You gotta ask yourself WHY?
