Politics as usual in Washington DC!

Oh look, we have a new stimulus bill that will help small businesses and put a ton more regulations and strings attached to its use. Imagine that, strings attached from something from Washington. The problem is we still don't know what is in it. We have another bill that is longer than "War and Peace" and with pages that are not completed yet.

We have a Congress that is suddenly, too short of time to do anything other than go campaign. The bills to keep or remove the Bush Tax Cuts are all suddenly too much to try and pass before the elections! Uh oh! That means we are getting the tax cuts jerked out from underneath us and a whole new level of taxes for all of us that will literally kill the economy! These tax cuts removed will increase taxes for everyone! Not just the rich as BO likes to tell you but everyone! Great time to raise taxes! Oh, I'm sorry I forgot, the National Board of Economic Research declared that the recession was over in June of 2009! How forgetful of me! The recession is over, pass it on! I loved their timing of declaring the recession was over fifteen months after it supposedly ended and right before elections. OOOOOOOOOH! What is that smell, did somebody step in something? No, it is just Washington DC at work.

So now that the federal budget is passed and we can get on with... What? The budget isn't passed yet? But they have had it forever! Who hasn't brought it for a vote? The Democratic leadership? But they want it to go through so that their spending can stimulate the economy! They are trying to shutdown the government? Why would they want to shutdown the government? You mean they are really trying to shutdown the government and blame it on the Republicans right before elections? But that will hurt many of their spending programs and their friends in the government and unions! So, what you are saying is that everyone is expendable when they have an agenda set. Everyone including the American people.

How many other bills are being held up because they don't want you to know what the result of the voting on the bills will be until after the elections? Try fourteen. Simple bills that would enrage the voters if they knew what was going to be passed. But don't worry, it won't cost any of them anything, they will do it in the lame duck session and blame it on those going out in January. Then those that are left in January with the new elected seats can just shrug their shoulders and say it wasn't their fault, the lame duckers did it!

Very few incumbents that are running for re-election are worth saving. The power hungry game of Washington DC has affected too many of them. This is why we need to replace anyone that has fallen into the power game and forgot why they are there.

Register to vote. Get your family, friends, relatives, neighbors, associates to register to vote. Research the issues and discuss them with anyone that will listen. Then get everyone out to vote on November 2nd. If we don't we will be faced with two more years of people that will feel enabled because they were re-elected. If you think the last two years were bad, just wait till you see what they come up with if they think we like what they are doing!

May God bless all of us and may God Bless America!
