With the midterm elections right around the corner, I feel it is my civic duty, to make sure everyone knows the truth about the candidates running.
There is a lot of perception floating around, that our President has put America in the shape we are in right now. I can’t imagine how short some folks memories have become. The truth is, Bill Clinton, the President before the last one, (Bush) took a budget that Bush’s daddy ran in the ground, and balanced it. He had America working, and the economy running smooth as silk. Then enters George W. Bush. Almost immediately, he started giving the wealthy tax breaks they didn’t deserve. Then, because his ideas were so wrong for America, he decided to start a war. He and his cronies dreamed up all kinds of lies, to justify war.
Knowing they had no proof the terrorists were in Iraq, he rushed to get it started, kinda like when a football team knows they were wrong, but rushed the play so it couldn’t be stopped. Well, recent facts have come out, that our troops outright murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent men women and children. That in itself, should be enough to find Bush and Cheney, law breakers.
We killed Saddam, for the exact same thing. So as we continue on with this deadly sham, he started another war, where more innocent men, women and children were murdered. Not only is he a murderer, his fabulous personality, pissed the rest of the world off. Just like walking up to a hornet’s nest, and giving it a good whack, and running. So the rest of the world now is pissed off at us to the point, they will kill themselves, to kill us. This is pretty extreme, that a group of people hate someone else enough, to die for the cause. We took that deficit Mr. Clinton worked so hard on, and spent the hell out of it, to the point, we had to borrow money to fund these wars.
Who did we borrow the money from?
The very same people we are making rich, China. The same very people that sent our jobs there with obscene tax breaks. Wow you say, what the hell were we thinking? Don’t think with the Bush/Cheney regime, they ever thought about anything before they did it. I remember the smart people, the thinkers if you will, telling Bush, that the war would never end, once it got started. They explained to Bush/Cheney, civil war would break out amongst the many factions in the area, for control of the country. They did not listen, and went on with the lie and murders.
Now even at this time, we are hearing more stories of murders and wrongdoing. Folks, these wars, unless stopped, will never be won. We could be there for a hundred years, and will still lose. How about all of the troops, we continue to keep sending over there, over and over. The thing that upset me the most about that part of the war, was the National Guard having to go and fight overseas. Bush was so stupid, he was unaware of what the word “National” meant.
Good thing we didn’t have a national emergency here in the states.
Oh yeah, we did, how could I forget the hurricanes that hit the Gulf region. And again, he let America down. So, Bush/Cheney sent all of these troops over to fight HIS war, with inadequate armor, poor tired equipment, and did nothing about it, until the Democrats called him out on it, and was fixed somewhat. Not to mention, Cheney’s company, Hallabertion, out right screwed the America, by over charging for fuel and parts to fight the war. How could he do this to his, our country? Immoral behavior to say the least, but nothing was ever done about it. Tons of profit went into Cheney’s pocket, at your expense. So moving on, we see that the rich people, Bush/Cheneys buddies, get a tax break they didn’t need. Well after all of the war spending, we think the very people that should be paying the bulk of the taxes in America, was given a tax break. Pretty stupid, to give away money that you didn’t even have.
At this point, things that should be important, got put behind the rich folks. Funds for education, for infrastructure upgrades, fire, police were cut. All of the things that we as Americans need to exist in a safe secure America, cut to the bone.
Now, even if you are the most greedy person in the world, would not agree, this is the smart thing to do. But folks, he did it anyway. Payback to the people and corporations that put him in office. Yes you took a back seat to this immoral raping of the American people. Yeah, the logic they used was, the rich spend money, and create jobs. Ok, 8-9 years later, where are the jobs? There is none. These greedy bastards, find more ways to hide their money, but not back in the economy.
Still today, Republicans, are trying to sell this lie to us, and it still isn’t working. Moving on, these same folks want to radically change America as we know it. The biggest thing that scares me about the Republican agenda, is the reduction or demise of Social Security. I along with most all of you, have paid into S/S all out lives. Most of us, worked construction or a job, that made it hard for us to pay into a retirement fund.
The Republican leaders, don’t care about your retirement, or lack of, because they have a retirement plan second to none. They are taken care of until the day they die. Bush just commented day before yesterday, his worst let down, was not privatizing S/S. Folks, can you in your wildest dreams, think where America would be if that had happened? I can’t think of where all of the older folks, including my parents, would be right now if that had happened. Talking about ethnic cleansing. There wouldn’t be enough funeral homes to handle all of the seniors. Absurd is the word that comes to mind. Well, if you choose the Republican party, this will be a threat you will live with everyday. The Republicans want to tell you how the reduction of the government is going to save you money. Well, I think they will find another way to spend your money.
Just think about how nasty your food will become. We have already seen people die, over the lack of inspections of where your food comes from. We see how nasty your water supplies have become, due to the lack of inspections. This my friends, is done to save the corporate farms money. When is it ok, for your child to eat nasty food so a CEO, stockholders, can make more money? The GOP has a catch phrase “transparency” to make you think this is what you want and need. It is only transparent, when they benefit from it. They tell you about how they want to protect your rights, and turn around and tell women they can’t have an abortion, should they desire one. Bush/Cheney reduced your rights more than all former administrations did together, with the “Patriot Act”.
This my friends, is the worst shredding of the Constitution in history. It did not make us safer, and secure. They tell you they want to stay out of your business and turn right around, and say this is a Christian nation, and if you are of another religion to are wrong. This is the biggest right we as Americans have. The right to worship any religion or not at all. We have people that think if you are Muslim, you are a terrorist. They are willing to shred the Constitution again, to put you down. They are willing to shred the Constitution once again, to say if you are born on American soil, you are not automatically an American if your parents are illegal . They forget, their ancestors were immigrants of this country once upon a time. The very same folks, want to close down the border, but can’t come up with a plan to do so. The very same people, will hire the illegal immigrants, they hate so very much, for pennies on the dollar, to fuel their greed.
They try to tell you how to live your life, tout “family values”, turn around and get caught in whore houses and have extra marital affairs. They tell you how pure and clean they are, and want to kill homosexuals in the next breath, until THEY come out. They think, as long as I show up to church on Sunday, they are saved. WRONG again. They should make their slogan “do as I say, not as I do”. That would be more fitting to their agenda. The very same people think that Corporations are more important than us the people.
When has a large Corporation ever done anything in your behalf? The very same people tell you outright lies on TV and that they have your interest in mind. This Robert Hurt, is the worst. All of the taxes he has raised on you the people, and tells you he has not. I guess if you call tax increases levies, it is not a tax!
How about the increases in power bills? The very same people want to keep polluting the air and water, by refusing to seek alternatives to produce electricity. Yes we need coal to make power, but what is wrong with trying to clean up the exhaust that is killing us slowly. No one said it has to be done by tomorrow.
But folks, we have got to start somewhere. I want to say this, if we all as Americans, had got behind the President from the beginning, we wouldn’t be having this chat right now. The last guys dug such a deep hole, it can’t be filled in in a short time. And if you put these very same people back in power, that hole will just get deeper and deeper. And guess who is in the bottom of that hole….YOU. We are still down in that hole because the Republicans, have blocked most of the ideas the Obama administration wanted to put in place to bring us out.
The very same people, allowed the banking industry, to get rich at the American’s expense. And the Republicans still are allowing the banks to screw the American people, by watering down, or rejecting new rules, that will keep them from screwing us more. The banks right now in my opinion, are the reason America can not come out of this depression they put us in. They refuse to loan money to Americans that want to buy a house. They are refusing to loan money to the small businesses, to operate on a daily bases. I personally think it is a way they can get back at the President, because he wants to make them work in a legal way.
The day the American people can buy houses again, is the day this economy turns around. Until money is loaned, this will not happen. The only people that are making out on this bad economy is the people who have money. The repo man, the foreclosure companies. I could keep on going with reasons the Republican/Tea Partiers should not be reelected, but this should be more than enough for you to think about when you go into the voting booth.
Think about your children’s education, or lack there of.
Think about how you are going to make it in your senior years.
Think about the rights you think are American rights, or the lack of. Your vote will impact all of the things you used to love about America.
