Change? Only for the worse...

I’ve been following the polls a little bit lately and I read the other day that our President’s approval rating has been falling lately. Gee, maybe there’s hope after all. Maybe the people of this country are starting to realize what he is doing and what he is really all about.

People didn’t like President Bush so they voted for Obama because they wanted a change. They didn’t like the Bush administration because they felt he was in bed with big oil and big business. They thought he circumvented the constitution and civil rights with the patriot act after 911. And people thought he started the war in Iraq without cause and they wanted our troops out of there. They thought he ran the federal deficit up too much with reckless spending. So they voted for change…

Now we have the Obama administration and these are the changes I'm seeing:

Obama certainly isn’t in bed with big oil, but he certainly is in bed with big green. The bill they say will save the environment, Cap and Trade, will make tons of money for somebody. If not Obama directly, his cronies like Al Gore and company stand to get rich many times over if it passes and they’re going to get rich on your dollars and mine since it’s going to cost us much more for all forms of energy including natural gas, electricity, heating oil, gasoline, etc. and it won’t do one thing to improve the environment – nothing. We just changed from making the former president and his cronies rich to making the new president and his cronies rich.

Let’s see… Civil rights, the right to choose what’s best for oneself without government interference. With the Obama health care bill, we are going to have government run healthcare shoved down our throat whether we want it or not. Everyone will be forced to buy healthcare insurance whether they want it or not. How’s that for right to choose, huh? We’ve also got government takeover of private business. I wonder how that jives with the constitution… You think the government was in your life too much under Bush? Wait until you get a full dose of real Obama Socialism. It’s coming and coming fast. What a wonderful change, huh?

As for the war in Iraq, have they started pulling those troops out of there yet? Are we bringing the boys home like Obama said he would do? Do you see anything different? What has changed? By the way, is he going to blame the troop buildup in Afghanistan on President Bush too? Because that’s the only place they’re going to go when he pulls them out of Iraq, if he pulls them out of Iraq.

As for the deficit, there’s just no contest there. If you thought Bush was a big spender, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. We’ve had the biggest deficit increase in history under our current president. Bush is really small time compared to this guy. We had a growing deficit under Bush and now we have a deficit increasing by absolutely monumental proportions under Obama. Do you like that change?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Get ready for the tax increases. He’s not raising your income taxes right now, that’s coming later. Right now, he’s raising every other form of tax he can think of. Most people don’t even realize it yet, but they are starting to see it. Slowly, people are starting to see through the lies. They are starting to realize that all the democrats spending will have to be paid for somehow. Change? That’s all you’re going to have left in your pocket after the democrats are done…

The only change I see is that we have more problems, more government incompetence, more corruption, more partisanship, more cronyism… Basically, everything that was bad under Bush is now worse under Obama.

Hey, all you Obama supporters, are these the changes you wanted?

The National Debt

I don't know about you, but I am worried. I have a very bad feeling about where our country is headed with it's fiscal policy since Obama became president and the democrats control every aspect of our federal government.

For anyone with more than a handful of operating brain cells, it's not hard to figure out that our federal government, in the hands of the democrats, are spending our country into oblivion, but to really put it in perspective and have it illustrated in easy to understand terms, take a look at this video:





Now, for those of you that continue to argue that the Bush administration spent all the money and put us in debt, or he started it, or it's all his fault, or he put us on the road, or whatever lame way you try and blame him, it doesn't wash. The argument is not valid, period.

Make no mistake about it, when our economy reaches severe depression level and we have runaway inflation, record unemployment levels and interest rates at unaffordable rates, it will be the fault of Obama and the democrats and nobody else.

Hang on people, it's going to be a very rough ride...

Letterman vs Palin

I’ve been listening to all the hoopla about David Letterman’s disgusting joke directed at Sarah Palin and her daughter for about a week now. I’ve heard all the liberals defend him and the joke, saying he didn’t really mean it and he didn’t really direct it at the younger daughter, he meant it for the older daughter. I’ve listened to him talk about it and give first a statement that he called an apology that really wasn’t and now an actual apology for the joke. And of course I’ve listened to all the talking heads dissect what he’s said…

You know what? I’m not buying it for a minute. I heard several people talking about it today on the radio and a couple said that it was a heartfelt apology and he was sincerely sorry. Ya, right…

He’s offered up a bunch of excuses, saying he didn’t know that the daughter was at the game. Well, if that’s the case, I guess he doesn’t know what’s going on in his own town since the media plasters all the details of everything Governor Palin does on every TV screen and tabloid available.

Then he said he thought the older daughter was the one at the game. He actually said he researched it to make sure she was of legal age, 18. Right… But he didn’t bother to find out which daughter it was at the game. You believe that, right?

You know what I think? I think he just plain didn’t care which daughter it was because he thought he could get away with it. He thought that he could tell any kind of disgusting joke about Governor Palin’s daughter to get his insult across. He believed that his audience wouldn’t care. After all, he’s been telling the same kinds of jokes about her ever since she became John McCain’s running mate, right through the election and right up to now. He believed that his viewing audience hates her as much as he does and he can pretty much say anything he wants and they’ll laugh at her too. That’s just the kind of guy he is.

Now he’s offering up what sounds like a real apology. You know why? It’s only because enough people got upset about it that it might just hurt his wallet. One advertiser has already pulled it’s ads from the CBS website and there is a growing movement to have Letterman go the way of Don Imus. Many are saying his comments are worse than what Imus said and they pulled the plug on him.

There is enough of an uproar about this that most people are starting to realize just how disgusting his comments were so now they’re calling for him to be pulled off the air. So THAT he understands. If it wasn’t for that, he’d still be snickering about it and planning his next insult for her.

What amazes me about his whole thing is that anybody is actually surprised by his behavior. He’s been doing distasteful jokes about anyone that doesn’t happen to have his political view or anyone he considers inferior to himself for most of his career. So does most of the liberal media and the entertainment industry in general. Their disdain for conservatives and conservative WOMEN in particular is utterly apparent and even blatant, so why would we expect any less? A comment about Governor Palin looking “slutty” and her 14 year old daughter being “knocked up by Alex Rodriguez” fits right in with their style.

So Dave, you can give us a pretend apology to try and save your ass but most of us know how you really feel. That’s why I for one don’t watch your show to begin with. Maybe more people will now realize that your tasteless jokes and total lack of class just isn’t worth watching.

Ripping Us Off Again

I guess the Wall Street speculators need to rape the public a little more and line their pockets with our hard earned dollars. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the gas prices going up again. I guess they want to try and profiteer on the summer vacationers. Or maybe they just want to profiteer for no particular reason other than they are greedy bastards...

All I know is, my employer is laying off, my rent is going up, my pay is not, and now it is costing me even more money just to get back and forth to work for as long as I keep my job.

And the Wall Street low lifes are getting rich again...

Hey, maybe the Obama administration will do something about that...

Don't hold your breath...

Unbelievable Government Waste

Well, I’ve heard of some pretty stupid ways for our government to waste our tax dollars but this one takes the cake. I read the other day that our federal government is funding a study, to the tune of $400,000, of gay sex in Argentina bars.

Yes, you read that right. Our government, or rather, you and I through our tax dollars, are spending $400,000 over the course of the 2 year study, to send researchers to Argentina to hang out in bars to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk and then, what can be done about it. Like it take a scientist to figure that one out…

Now, why we need such a study, I don’t know. I suppose it’s to see what they can do to reduce the spread of Aids in Argentina. And I suppose they will say that they results of the study will be used to reduce the spread of Aids in America. Sounds logical right? Then again, why couldn’t they just do the study at gay bars here in America? Then the results here could be used to help people there. Doesn’t that sound more logical? Then we could save all the money it takes to send people to Argentina.

Then again, I could save them the cost of the whole study and give them the answer right now. HEY! Here’s the answer – tell all the gay men in Argentina and America not to go to bars, get drunk and engage in risky sexual behavior! Duh… What a concept, huh? But no… we have to spend $400,000 to study the obvious.

Our government in action… And you really think that these people are going to save our economy? I think we’re in big trouble…

Yet ANOTHER Despicable Politician

You know, for some reason I keep thinking that our politicians will have to wake up sooner or later and start answering to the people. Then I see another one do something unbelievably selfish and with total disregard to the voters who elected him and I just shake my head and wonder why people keep electing these worthless windbags to office time and again.

This time it’s one Arlen Specter who got elected as a Republican and now that he knows he can’t win re-election as a Republican, switches parties and becomes a Democrat. It’s not a change of ideology. It’s not because of conscience, he obviously has none, the one and only reason he did it is for self preservation. His only motivation is re-election at any cost. Screw the people that voted for him. Screw what they want, you know, the very thing that he is supposed to be doing in his job that they put him in, representing them. His only concern is taking care of himself and hanging onto his job and he'll stoop to any level to do it.

How can this guy stand up in front of the American people and claim he is doing his job that he was elected to do when he just turned his back on everyone that voted him into office? How can anyone trust someone that just did a complete 180 degree turn from what he supposedly believes in and now, suddenly he believes just the opposite?

This man is demonstrating that he has absolutely no moral character whatsoever. He has no principles, no honor. His only motivation is selfishness. And he is a traitor. A traitor to his own morals, tenets and beliefs. He is a traitor to the people and he deserves our disgust and our disdain. He should be fired, then tarred and feathered and thrown out on his ass.

He has joined the ranks of the other worthless political hacks like Joe Lieberman, Christopher Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Roland Burris, Harry Reid and others that deserve to be voted out of office at our earliest opportunity. We need to let these people know that they can’t get away with betraying our trust. We need to let them know that we demand people of character and honor that serve us in our government and they definitely don’t fit the bill.

These people need to pay the price for their misdeeds. They need to lose their jobs. If they worked in the private sector for any respectable company, they would have been fired long ago. They probably wouldn’t be able to hold any kind of management job in the real business world. There, you actually have to do a good job to keep your job. In government, all you have to do is lie well enough to get elected and then you have a free ride for up to 6 years in office no matter how bad you do. Most of what they do for their elected term is spend other people’s money and most of their efforts are directed at how to lie, cheat and steal to get re-elected.

Re-elect? How about UN-elect? Let’s get these despicable “career politicians” out of our government.

Interesting facts from Rasmussen Reports

I follow Rasmussen Reports a bit and it’s really interesting to see some of the poll results that they report. It seems many times that there is no logic to it. For instance recently, poll results showed 21% of those polled believe Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Now, while that is a pretty low number, it’s the highest rating Congress has gotten in over a year.

The weird part is, even though the number of people that think they are doing a good job is up, so is the number of people that think most members are corrupt. So what does this say for the public at large? It seems like they think that the members of Congress, even though they’re crooks, are doing a pretty good job. Of course, that’s only 21%...

Personally, I think it shows that the people don’t like the fact that our politicians are crooks but they expect them to be dishonest. It sort of shows that most people know that if you’re a politician, you’re probably a liar and a cheat. Kind of sad when you think of it… that we have such low expectations from the very people we elect to run our country.

Anyway, here’s some more interesting facts, plus a comment or two from me…

Nearly half (49%) the nation's voters say politics in Washington, D.C. will be more partisan over the next year.

You mean they’re not believing the Obama mantra of being non-partisan? Imagine that…

Just 53% Say Capitalism is better than Socialism

That means 47% need to move to France…

Only 27% See the U.N. As America's Ally

I’m surprised it’s as high as 27%...

36% Still Say Country Headed in the Right Direction

I wonder if they’ll think so when we have double digit inflation, high interest rates, persistently high unemployment and taxes through the roof…

44% See More Tension With Other Countries Because of Economic Crisis

Huh… Ya think?

75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States

And guess what… Your government is not listening to you and they don’t care what you think…

54% Count On U.S. Business Leaders More Than World Leaders To Help U.S. Economy

Gee, what a coincidence, it’s only one percentage point away from the people that think Capitalism is better than Socialism…

60% of U.S. voters now have an unfavorable opinion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, including 42% Very Unfavorable

Of course, 100% admit she’s a lunatic, but 40% think she’s doing a good job…

81% Say Neither Madoff Nor His Wife Should Keep Any Money

The other 19% want him to be let out of jail so they can invest with him…

And when it comes to illegal immigration and tightening our borders?

79% Support U.S. Troops on the Border to Fight Drug Violence
68% Say Those Who Employ Illegal Immigrants Should Be Punished
73% Say Cops Should Check Immigration Status During Traffic Stops

Pretty big numbers I’d say. Guess what, the Obama administration isn’t going to listen to the voters on this one either.

How about “Card Check”? (doing away with the secret ballot to vote for or against a union)

61% Say Secret Ballot Is a Fair Way To Vote For A Union
Just 9% of Non-Union Workers Want to Join Union

9% huh? I wonder what the percentage would be with Fat Tony and Louie the Lip “helping” you vote?

And finally…

In March, the number of Democrats in the nation fell two percentage points…

Hey, you mean people are starting to wise up?

Wait a minute…
…the number of Republicans fell by half-a-point.

YES, people ARE starting to wise up! They’re starting to realize that the Republicans are almost (not quite) as bad as the Democrats. Can you say “Libertarian”?
