Well thank you for that. I hope almost all of us feel that way.
I hope after the GOP got their butts kicked out of power in 2004 that they learned their lesson about putting politics ahead of the people. Right now they are mostly talking the talk, but it's too early to know whether they'll walk the walk. We won't know until they regain power and have a chance to redeem themselves.
But it's for damn sure most of the Democrats in Congress put politics ahead of the people and need their butts kicked out of power.
I am simply not willing to resign myself to the fact that it is impossible to elect patriots and honest men and women to high office any more. I may die trying, but I haven't given up yet.
I admire your resolve.
Personally, I doubt the GOP walks the walk if they take part of Congress. Our current two party system has transformed into the Bloods versus the Crips.
However, nothing would make me happier than the GOP taking the House, setting a mutual goal with the White House to balance the budget and meeting it.
Ah, a Tea Partier in spirit if not in name.
You know, I don't give a rat's ass WHO does it or WHO gets the credit or what they call themselves. I just want people elected to high office who will be above board, realistically honest, and show some integrity in their dealings in legislative projects.
If we had a law in place, for instance, making it illegal for Congress to give ANY favors of ANY kind to ANYBODY that isn't made available to all without prejudice, we wouldn't be facing trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, and we might have a healthcare bill that actually improves access to healthcare in the USA instead of the monstrosity that just passed.
And a balanced budget amendment is looking better to me all the time IF it can be accomplished without giving Congress a blank check to just keep ratcheting up the taxes and fees to balance it.
Unfortunately, we NEED to raise taxes AND cut spending to balance the budget and dig ourselves out of debt. Doing just one and not the other isn't good enough.
