My Democratic Friends Were Right!
They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and now, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan .
My Democrat Party friends told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is at 9.5%.
They told me if I voted for McCain we would see more "crooks" in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery, racist beliefs and tax fraud.
They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the trough" in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress since January 2009.
I was also told by my Democrat friends that if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in Washington D.C. and sure enough, Obama has spent more in just 120 days than all other Presidents combined - in the entire history of the good ole USA !!
Well, I voted for McCain in November and my Democrat friends were right...all of their predictions have come true!

Do You Think The Government Can Save You?
This was sent to me by email from a friend. Don't know if the dates or numbers are right but it does sound like the government. Create a program and let it go broke while we continue to pay for it through higher taxes and fees.
********************************************************
The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. They've had 234 years to get it right but it's broke and even though heavily subsidized, it can't compete with private sector FedEx and UPS services.
Social Security was established in 1935. They've had 74 years to get it right but it's broke and for the first time in history, social security recipients will NOT be receiving a cost of living increase.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938. They've had 71 years to get it right but it's broke. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. They've had 39 years to get it right but it's broke. Together Fannie and Freddie have now led the entire world into the worst economic collapse in 80 years.
The War on Poverty was started in 1964. They've had 45 years to get it right but $1 trillion of our hard earned money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor." It hasn't worked.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. They've had 44 years to get it right. They are both broke and now our government dares to mention them as models for all US health care.
AMTRAK was established in 1970. They've had 39 years to get it right. Last year they bailed it out as it continues to run at a loss!
This year a trillion dollars was committed in the massive political payoff called the Stimulus Bill of 2009. It shows NO signs of working. It's been used to increase the size of governments across America and raise government salaries while the rest of us suffer from economic hardships. It has yet to create a single new private sector job.
Our national debt projections (approaching $10 trillion) have increased 400% in the last six months. Check out the debt clock yourself at http://www.usdebtclock.org/
"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009. 80% of the cars purchased turned out to be produced by foreign companies and dealers nationwide are buried under bureaucratic paperwork demanded by a government that has not yet paid them what was promised.
So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that each and every "service" shoved down our throats by an over-reaching government turns into disaster, how could any informed American trust our government to run or even set policies for America's health care system which is around 17% of our economy?
Maybe each of us has a personal responsibility to let others in on this brilliant record before 2010 and then help remove from office those who are voting to destroy capitalism and destroy our grandchildren's future.
*******************************************************
I hope you realize that the government is in it for the money and will throw us a bone every now and then but of course it will be a never ending bucket with a hole in the bottom so no matter how much they try to fill it up it will continue to drip us dry through government taxes, fines, fees, subsidiaries, etc., etc.
You get the point so lets make sure that 2010 sends a big message to ALL the politicians who have been lining their pockets with our tax dollars.
We need to clean house of those who have been there more than 5 years.
We need to get rid of those who don't abide by the Constitution of the United States.
We need to get rid of those who love their pork barrel spending and their lobbyist friends.
We need to get rid of anyone who does not want to balance the budget or cut spending.
We need to get rid of those who don't want to protect our borders and fight terrorism.
Notice I did not mention Republican, Democrat or Independent because there are bad apples in all of those groups. We need to remember that we are leaving our country to our children and grandchildren and we do not want to leave them with trillion of dollars worth of debt.
Fight for you country, fight for your children's future!
