The solution to a balanced budget...

I have found the solution to balance the budget and to bring in, maybe, millions of dollars in reveune to the government.  The solution is...(wait for it....)
 
Have any person in the country who is a registered Democrat get audited for their taxes (at least the ones in politics)!!    If it is patriotic of all Americans to pay higher taxes, then it should be no problem for the Dems to pay their taxes they already owe!   Just look at our new IRS boss, Geithner, and maybe our next Health chairman, Daschle.  Neither of them were going to pay their taxes UNTIL they got nominated for Cabinet positions working for the President who wasn't going to have lobbyists in His White House (and look how that turned out)! 
 
I am so sick of the hipocracy and double standard that the main stream media give these Dems and President Obama!   If The One came out and said the sky was green and grass was blue, there would be an immediate White House press Conference letting everyone in the world know the differences and it would be on front page newspapers across the globe!  We have to hold these people's feet to the fire and hold them accountable for they they do or don't do.

The end of bipartisanship??

Again today, President Obama had to publicly denounce Rush Limbaugh and FoxNews in his meeting with Republicans on the Hill.  What a class act!  The President of the United States should not be criticizing individuals or private companies or networks.  You never saw President Bush deride MSNBC, CNN, or any of the other liberal leaning networks.  He was truly a class act, never once did he fight back against his critics (maybe that was part of his low approval ratings), he knew in his heart what he thought was right and did not care what others in the opposite party had to say.  If Obama keeps talking down Limbaugh, FoxNews, Hannity, and other conservative pundits and outlets then he needs to really learn what it takes to be Presidential!  If people thought that President Bush was partisan, then I wonder what they think about President Obama?  Obama in his first week has been more partisan and devisive than Bush was in the last eight years!!!!!!!!!!!!

President Obama, class act or classless??

The President of the United States has no right to single out and denounce one of it's own citizens for practicing their first ammendment right to free speech.  I am talking about Rush Limbaugh, a member of the loyal opposition GOP party.  President Obama is the President of all Americans in this country, not just the African-American ones, not just the Democrat ones, and not just the liberal ones.  Forty seven million did vote for the other guy, you know.  He is the President of ALL Americans and should not have told the GOP to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.
Did I miss something and we are now North Korea, China, or Venezuaela, where one is not allowed to criticize their leaders or fear being punished by the state?  Do we have to bow everytime someone mentions the Messiah's name?  NO, we are Americans and the Constitution gives us all the right to publicly air our views.  But, we in the Conservative movement, are not going to personally attack the President like the left did (anyone remember Majority leader Harry Reid calling President Bush a loser??), anyone??  We may attack his policies or ideology, but never him personally.
 
Obama's explanation of "I Won" and therefore can anything he wants is egotistical, arrogant, and definately not bipartisan!  Yes, he did win and can therefore push foward his own liberal agenda, but we can also fight back with our own ideas and make sure they are heard.  The GOP might not have the votes to stop anything, but that does not mean they can just roll over and let the Democrats do whatever they want without any opposition.  Elections have consequences, and in two more years there will be another election that may well change the tide in the Congress which will force President Obama (by the way, the first BIRACIAL president) to compromise and work with the GOP to pass truly BIPARTISAN legislative. 
 
Lastly, the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" must never again be law.  If so, then we will be just as bad as China and North Korea.  And that is not who we are.  We are AMERICANS and have the right to free speech and the right to object and oppose peacefully and with words any policies we do not believe in.  When the Democrats were in the minority, no one stopped them from complaining or opposing the Republican Administration.  Although they vehemently attacked the character of President Bush and his policies, that too was an example of them excercing their free speech (although in very bad taste).  We must show them, and the AMERICAN people, that conservative ideas and policies work better than liberal ones in defending this country on issues of security and economically and socially.  
 
I say this to President Obama - We may disagree with you on political and social issues, but do not try to silence our voices and turn this country into a socialized state where we must give up all freedom to the government!

George Bush Legacy, respect, and Barack Obama

Tomorow will be the start of a new era for this country, for the better or worse.  We have heard all the plattitudes for the last two years about "Bush lied, people died", or how the failed last eight years of this administration has caused the financial crisis, on how deregulation has contributed to all our ills, or how we are so hated across the world now more than ever, on how we torture and abuse detainees, and so on.  Like it or not, Barack Obama will be our President tomorrow and we must show him the same respect for the office that the left has not shown for the current President.  I say this because we are one country, not two that the Democrats would like us to believe we are.    
Before we get to Obama, I want  to set the facts straight on George W. Bush. 
 
 Fact one:  Bush did not lie and people did not die becasue of it.  Every member of Congress had some of the intelligence the President had leading up to the Iraq invasion (some, but not all).  The majority of Congress voted for the give the President the authority to go to war, including Clinton, Kerry, etc.  Obama was still in the State Senate voting "present" on most big issues.
 
Fact two:  For 52 months we had positive job growth in this country, we had record unemployment at 4.5%, record stock market at 14,000 points, and so on.  The economy started to go downhill when the housing bubble burst - the same bubble that Senator McCain and the Bush administration warned the Democratic controlled Congress in 2006, one in which Chris Dodd and Barney Frank said that there was no problem.  In fact, you could trace the problem back to the 1979 CRA under Jimmy Carter, but we won't go there.   
 
Fact three: It was too much regulation that caused the financial mess, not deregulation.  Banks were forced to give out big loans to people who could not afford them.
 
Fact four: Since Bush was elected, we now have right-leaning American-friendly leaders in Germany and France..  We have soveriegn governments in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We have  a nuclear-free Libya (one that we did not even know was nuclear in the first place).  North Korea is better under control than it was before they tricked Clinton.
 
Fact five:  We do not torture prisoners.  Harshly interrogate-yes, torture-no!  We have only waterboarded three times, THREE TIMES, and one was on the mastermond behind 9/11 that led to the prevention of another attack.  Beside, waterboarding is not torture.  Do people lose limbs when waterboarded - NO!   Does it cause great pain that lasts for a long time - NO!  Does it cause deformities or disfigurations - NO!  Has anyone ever died from it - NO!  Is it uncomfortable - YES!  These butchers we pick up on the battlefield do not care about our rights, our liberties, our very lives.  They want to kill us just becasue we ARE us!  The answer would be just to kill everyone on the battlefield, but we don't.
 
Now for President Barack Hussein Obama.  He has literally bought himself the presidency with money and the Main Steam Media behind him.  He is by far the mosr radical liberal this country has ever elected, even ran for the office.  But, he had a good campaign and the media hid all his faults from the average citizen or just swept them under the rug.  Need I mention Rhezko, Ayers, Blagojevich, Rev Wright, Rev Flagler, Genther, Holder, Richardson, and voting "present" over one hundred times when it came to big issues.  How about his radical abortion stands, where a woman can have an abortion right up until childbirth, or even after a child is born from a botched abortion!  How about his anti-2nd ammendment views, his pro-union views, his beholden to teachers unions, steel unions, etc.  What about his pacifistic world mentality, his tax-the-rich and spread-the-wealth philosophy?  What about his class warfare games he plays?  Or about his big government mentality, the one that says only more governement programs can save the country!  He even wants to stop all drilling for oil, so we rely on our enemies for energy (which is what will happen.  I am all for alternative fuels, but they are at least two decades away).  Last, he wants to "talk" to our enemies, give them credibility and weaken ours.
 
Obama is your typical Democrat liberal,  He wants half of this country to not have to pay taxes and the other half to.  He wants to keep down his base so they never have to reach up.  He wants them to stay on welfare programs so they don't have to work and so they continually keep the Democrats in power.  He wants the "rich" to pay for everything, never mind the fact that it is the rich that do all of the hiring and buying that keeps the economy going.  
 
 BUT DESPITE ALL THIS, HE IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND SO WE MUST RESPECT THE OFFICE, IF NOT THE IDEALS THE MAN HAS.  WE WILL NOT HATE HIM, CALL HIM NAMES, WISH ILL WILL ON HIM LIKE THE LEFT HAS DONE FOR GEORGE W BUSH.  WE WILL PRAISE HIM WHEN HE DOES RIGHT, AND WE WILL CRITICIZE HIM WHEN HE DOES WRONG.  AND WE WILL STAND UP WHEN THE COUNTRY NEEDS US TO ON ISSUES LIKE TAXES, ALTERNATIVE ENERGY, AND FREE-MARKET SYSTEMS.  ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, SO WE ON THE RIGHT RESPECT THAT.  I ONLY PRAY THAT HE DOES NOT DAMAGE THIS COUNTRY TOO MUCH IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS SO THAT WE MAY PUT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO DEFEND FREEDOM, FREE-MARKETS, AND TRULY PROTECT US FROM THE EVILS THAT ARE OUT THERE. 
 
GOD BLESS THE NEXT PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, AND GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!

Another Democrat, another indictment...

It's a good thing that the the Republicans and their"culture of corruption" got voted out of office in 2006 and 2008 because the Democrats are as pure as the driven snow (wink, wink).  Another indictment for another Democrat, this time the Baltimore mayor, Sheila Dixon.  The mayor is facing a twelve count indictment, including perjury, theft, fraudulent misappropriation  by a fiduciary and misconduct in office.  Let's see HOW the MSM (main stream media) or even IF they cover this story and if they mention the (D) in her party affiliation, my guess is they won't.
 
The Republican party has to take a stand on this.  They were silent all throughout this last election, never mentioning the words "culture of corruption" at all in any of their political ads!  Not once did I hear in an ad the dismal approval ratings of the Democrat-led Congress nor of any of their "promises" they promised during the runup to the 2006 election when they regained control.  I want to see the GOP start to fight back with the "culture of corruption" ads of their own.  I want to see every conservative Republican that is on the cable news shows or the broadcast networks keep beating this point like a drum!  I want to hear all the names mentioned, Jefferson, Blago, Spitzer, Dixon, Rangel, Dodd, Frank, Richardson, all of these people that were invlolved in some sort of scandal. 
 
I want to see in the next election cycle (2010) commercials with Nancy Pelosi's own words making promises in 2006 that weren't kept.  I want to see the approval ratings of this Congress almost as much as President Bush ratings were shown.  I want to see ads depicting Rhezko,  Blagovich and any other corrupt Illinois politician getting caught red handed doing anything.  Then I want to see what the Republican party stands for, not just what we are against.  The Democrats did not win over the White House and Congress, the Republicans lost them.  People who voted for the Democrats did not vote FOR them because of their policies (well some of them did) but AGAINST the Republicans and what the MSM has reported about them.  We need to look to talk radio, ther blogs, and to FOX NEWS to get the real message out, and they have two years to do it.

Obama's not immune to pay-for-play schemes....

     The recent pay-for-play deals going on within the Democratic party (Gov's Blago and Richardson) have even enveloped the President-elect himself, the Appointed One - Barrack Obama.  First, MSNBC becomes the Obama network, with such "unbiased" newspeople like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Andrea Mithchell on air everynight bashing everything with an (R) in front of it.  Then it's parent company, GE, gets billions in bailout money from the federal government.  Now, CNN gets rewarded for their Obama cheerleading everynight with David Gregory, David Shuster, and Campbell Brown by appointing one of their own, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, to Surgeon General.  Notice how no company associated with FoxNews has been appointed anything, nor have their parent companies been given any monetary award.  Sean Hannity is correct when he says that 2008 is the year that journalism died!  

     What the media has done for the Annointed One is uncomparible to anything that it has ever done before in this country.  It's constant McCain-Republican-Conservative bashing was daily and had it's effects on that part of the American people who does not pay attention to politics or anything that happens around them.  And also those who still suffer from Bush-Derangement Syndrome and would have voted for Mickey Mouse if he was a Democrat running for office (AL FRANKEN, need I need any more proof?).  For the past several election cycles the MSM was always ranting on how the Republican party and it's good fundraising efforts bought them elections, now it's "look how many everyday people gave what little money they had" to the Prophesized one to wage war against the right-wing attack machine!  Obama bought this last election with the help of the media!  But still, he only won by seven points when the Republican's fielded their worst candidate they could have (judged on Conservative values).   
 
     This next election in 2010 will be the next most important election, besides this one, that will either make or break this country.  If the Republicans (real true-conservative) ones can regain some seats and can control one of the two houses of Congress, we might have a decent chance of saving this country from becoming the United Socialized States of America (USSA).

Richardson withdrawing name from post...

Funny how the MSM seemed to "forget" to mention that Richardson was a DEMOCRATIC Governor and not a Republican.  The same thing happened to Governor Blago, McGreevy, and Spitzer(let's not forget Gray Davis).  Does the MSM really think that by omitting this one important letter that the American people are fooled by which party they really belong do?  YOU BETCHA they do.  No wonder that the majority of the American people who voted for Barrack Obama thought the REPUBLICANS still controlled Congress (see www.howobamagotelected.com for details).  The MSM has done an extraordinary job this last election cycle of confusing the American people and by totally ignoring the fact that the DEMOCRATIC-controlled Congress recieved even lower approval ratings the enitre two years than did President Bush, yet Bush's party got defeated and the Democrats got re-elected!   Any normal, logical thinking person would assume that given all the facts on this matter, that the Congress should have switched parties as well as the White House.  NOT SO!  The new age media - cable (FoxNEws), talk radio, blogs - need to start making this info public and get the word out!  The MSM has controlled what happens in the country for far too long.  The Republicans were held accountable in 2006 and 2008 for their misbehavior (acting like Democrats) and deserved to be kicked out (some of them anyway, some were outed purely for having an (R) in their title).  We need to start to take this country back from the left and do everything (peacefulkly and patriotically) as we can to bring this country back to center - right, right where it belongs!

African American for Senate...

     All I have been hearing lately is that there are no African-American senators (besides Obama) and that Blago should appoint one in Illinois.  Another thing I keep hearing is that the Republican party is an old white man's party with no diversity.  I am sick of the MSM twist on these two items!  When is the MSM (main stream media) ever going to learn one simple thing - the problem is not that there are no black senators in Congress, the problem is that there are no LIBERAL DEMOCRAT black senators in Congress!!  Just like the NAACP and NOW, they do not promote conservative blacks or women, just LIBERAL blacks and women!  Where were they when Sarah Palin was running for VP?  Where were they when Michael Steele or Lynn Swann (two black Republican candidates) were running for the Senate??  I just want to hear the truth!!!  These groups do not want equality for all blacks or all women, just liberal ones!
     If the Governor wants to promote a black person to the vacant Senate seat and party does not matter, why doesn't a black Republican get the nod to run or be appointed?   Let's not kid ourselves on this one issue, which is not just a black or white issue, it is a Liberal black vs Conservative black issue.  If the MSM really wants a black person in the Senate, they can always get behind and support Micahel Steele, Lynn Swan, or another black Republican to run in 2010 and beyond!

New York Times hit piece on Pres Bush

What is the New York Times doing now??  They have what they want - a Democratic White House and Congress - now they want to make sure that President Bush goes down as the worst President ever.  Sunday, they come out with a 5000 word article on how Bush is solely responsible for the current housing crisis and does not mention Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Barack Obama, or the Community Reinvestment Act of 1999?   The article repeatedly contrasts what the Times has said in the past several years concerning Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the role President Clinton had in the current crisis.  Clinton signed into law the Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000 which made banks and mortgage companies able to trade credit defaults without any, I repeat ANY, government oversight.  All this information can be found at www.newsbusters.org and is spelled out exactly what the Times said throughout the past couple years and what it is saying now.  The American people have to have the truth about this, not the hand-picked out of context crap that the New York Times has laid out as truth.  The NY Times is so desperate for readers and sponsors that they believe a hit-piece like this will energize their left base and make them buy their papers and advertise in them.  We must make them pay for their misinformation and get the truth out.  President Bush has done one thing that President Clinton has not done - kept us safe after an attack on our soil or on our interests overseas.  There is no need to bring up the Kobar towers, the USS Cole, Tanzenia, or a handful of other attacks that went against us during the 90's.

Corrupt Governors..see a pattern??

Bill Clinton.  Gray Davis.  Jim McGreevey.  Elliot Spitzer.  Rod Blagojevich...Do we see a pattern of corrupt Governors?  
What do all of these men have in common??  Don't know yet, hint..they are all DEMOCRATS!!  A pattern has emerged in recent times concerning corruption and  Democrat Governors.  The other thing in common is that in each case, the Main Stream Media has either ommited or added in the last paragraph of each story that the person in question is in fact, a Democrat.  When it is a Republican in trouble, he or she is usually referred to in the press as "Republican Senator ..." or "Republican Gov ...", etc.  The media covers up the Democrats crimes and highlights the Republicans ones. 
 
The recent trend in this country is to elect any Democrat instead of the Republican.  For proof of this, look at Al Franken, a "comedian" who has avoided paying taxers in several states and is now in a recount with a known Republican Senator.  Only in Minnesota, the state that voted for Jesse Ventura as their Governor can this happen in.  What regular Americans need to know is that in evry city and state where a Democrat has been in charge, taxes have gone up, spending has gone up, and economic woes have followed.  Look at Detroit and Chicago and their corrupt mayors and their city's economic problems.  Look at Jennifer Gramholn, Gov of Michigan.  Look at the state of the whole New England area and the problems it is facing and compare that to the South where Governors and Republican mayors are either holding their economies together or having surpluses. 
 
This country soon has to realize what Democrat policies can do to an economy and need to start voting in TRUE Republicans to lead and govern their states and cities to econmic feasability, even in these harsh times.  The Main Stream Media is not going to do this, but the American people can and we must!

Let's change the rules on what a reccession is!

     Funny how only a month and a half before President Bush leaves office a reccession is declared.  Not by using the definition that has been used forever : two quarters of negative growth, but but a new standard: unemployment stats.  For two years the main stream media has been telling us what a reccession is and that we are not yet in one, now all of a sudden we are in one.  Could it be that the media does not want a reccession to begin on the Prophet Obama's watch??  The main stream media is in overdrive trying to paint this economy as bad as they can until January 20th, 2009, when the Messiah takes the oath.  Mark my words, by the 100th day of an Obama administration, the media will be constantly drumming up the economy and saying it isn't as bad as it was under President Bush.  They will be giving all the credit to Obama and not to the policies Bush started this past year.  Just like Iraq, where thanks to the surge, peace is in our sights and our troops can come home soon in victory, Obama will take the credit for "ending" the war and "bringing our troops home".  If Obama had it his way (voting against the surge) Iraq would still be a bloodbath and defeat would have been in sight! 
     Obama will also use this time to "experiment", as Emannuel puts it, to try to put through big government programs like universal health care and climate change policies that will bankrupt this government even further.  He will rescind the Bush tax cuts on the highest earners (not this year but next) will will cause tax revenue to decrease and will start the biggest class war battle this country has never seen!  He will pit the 50% of people who will pay no taxes against the 50% of people who will and take this country into a depression like era that will last a very long time.  This is no "HOPE" and "CHANGE" that America can afford!

Obama's 21st century solution to 20th century problem

      Not even three weeks after being elected President, Senator Obama (the first biracial person elected President, not African-American) is picking his cabinet full of old Clinton people.  If going back to the 20th century is his way of his moving to a 21st century solution, I do not know what is?   First he picks Rahm Emanuel, an old Bill Clinton advisor.  Then, Eric Holder, Clinton's #2 in the Justice dept who handled both the Mark Rich pardon and Elias Gonzalez case.  Then, Hilary Clinton (rumored) to be his Sec of State.  Add in John Podesta, Bill Richardson, and a few others and we have Bill Clinton's third term!  

      This proves that Barack Obama is, indeed, an empty suit and has no real experience or credentials for himself.  Again, I reiterate that (uninformed) Americans, with a lot of help from the Main Street Media and far left fringe, and over $700 million in cash, have helped elavate Obama to this Messiah image that everyone has put on a pedastal and not the real man himself.  Not one person came out on the campaign trail for Obama as a friend or mentor, not one.  The people we do know who associate with him are people like Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Father Flagler, and Luis Farakhan.  Those are his real confidants.  Obama is a typical Chicago-style politican who will do anything, say anything, associate himself with anyone to further his political career.  I hope the American people like the "hope" and "change" that they are seeing right now, becasue it is only going to get worse!  The Democrats did not win the White House and Congress, Republicans lost them!
  
     Now, let's look at the stock market.  Never in a Presidential election year has the market dropped so much since picking a President.  People are scratching their heads saying how can this be with the Messsiah elected?  The answer is the stock market knows the real truth - that if you campaign on raising taxes and capital gains, then no one wants to invest in the market so the government can take more!  Obama also has a vested interest in bailing out the auto industry WITHOUT them making any consessions in labor and pension policies because as with all Democrats, they are beholden to those same unions that financed them and got them elected.  Let's just give them money, not loans, so that in six months they can just ask for more of the same!

     It is now up to the American people, the Main Street media, the internet blogger community, and us in the loyal opposition party to make sure that a President Obama does not take this country too far to the left.  We must not let him stop the war on terror.  We must not let him destroy what we have achieved in Iraq.  We must not let him stop drilling for new oil and natural resources.  We must not let him pick activist judges.  We must not let  him undermine our military and armed forces and cut their budgets.  We must do all of this by using our voices, our computers, and most of all our God-given right to vote all of those who put themselves in front of this country out of office in 2010 and beyond!  Let's give the American people something to vote FOR again, not AGAINST!  And, we must do this peacefully and the correct way.  We must not personally attack the President like the left has done to George Bush, we could respect the office and not the person or policies.  I hope my fellow conservatives and others (liberals and moderates) will STAND UP to a President Obama if he does wrong, but also STAND BEHIND him when he does right.  Let's not divide this country like the Democrats did with hate or contempt for our President.  Let's unite this country with our ideals and beliefs!  

    This is a long blog, but everything I wrote is what I feel and has been a long time coming!  GOD BLESS THIS PRESIDENT WITH THE WISDOM TO GOVERN AND GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's own vetting process

The latest news out of the Office of the President-elect (is there really such a thing?) is that to be a part of his government, you have to fill out one big questionnaire.  Some of the things he wants to know are: if you own a gun or have ever used it; if you blog or have a facebook page; he wants to know if you have bad associations, and many other personal stuff.  The ironic thing is that Obama himself would not pass his own vetting process!  He himself has had many bad associations, has had controversial issues with lobbyists and unions himself, and he himself has some bad accounting practices in his own campaign (just ask all those unpaid staffers still looking for their paychecks, not the ones gettign all the cash and blackberries for Christmas).  This is turning out to be the most hypocritical, most unexperienced, most partisan person ever elected (who ever even ran) for the President of the United States!! Don't get me started on how the media is already praising his presidency as the best one ever when it hasn't even began yet!  We will see how open and public his admistration is and how he will learn very quickly that being the President is more than just giving a great speech!

Michael Steele running for RNC chair!!!!!!!!!

     Michael Steele for RNC chairperson!!!!!!!!!!!!!     This is probably the best thing that could happen for the GOP!  The last two years, this party has given the American people reason not to hire Democrats to lead, but to fire Republicans!  This is still a center-right country and Republican ideals and policies are still the best for this country and to rescue it from an economic downturn and for national security.  Pundits all say that the GOP is a white-man's party and that it is going nowhere if it remains so - well, here is our future!  Minorities like Michael Steele and Bobby Jindal, and with women like Sarah Palin give our party a chance to break the old mold and to reach out to new people.  Our GOP tent has to be big enough to include those GOP moderates, such as Charlie Crist and even the Governator, that although they believe in issues such as climate change, still cling to hard-core traditional beliefs like lower taxes and smaller government.  With the election of Michael Steele as chairman of the RNC, maybe other black conservatives (and some liberals) and even younger people will see conservatism as an alternate ideology to what the liberal left has to offer.  Steele will give them an opportunity to at least look at our party and what it represents!   We still have a long way to go to gain back the trust of the American people, but now that future looks a little brighter.  2010 does not look so far away right now!

Stock Market dives again...

     Today we see another dive in the stock market, 337 points down!  Could the market be reacting to President-elect Obama's choice of 30 something ex-Clinton people in his transition??  (So much for change????!!!)  When is the Pres-elect going to learn that if you want people to invest in the stock market, you can't keep going around telling people you are going to raise capital-gains taxes on them! 
     I was so sick of hearing Obama throughout the campaign talk of "the last eight years of failed Bush administration".  It seems the economy was fine until 2006 when the Dems took control of Congress.  I remember a 14,000 stock market, 4.5% unemployment, and the most revenue brought into the government than ever before.  I would like to see President Bush or the Republicans come out and say these things.  Why don't we hear or see more Republicans go out on the cable shows and major networks and provide this viewpoint, the Main stream media will not.  In order to gain back some seats and maybe Congress in 2010, we need to start being out there now!  We need the stock market and people that invest to get some kind of confidence back in the market in order for it to grow.  If the people stand up and keep demanding lower taxes, then maybe it will persuade some blue-dog Dems to try to keep the far left from implementing any tax increases for fear of losing in 2010. 
     We must somehow restore confidence back into the market and prove that trickle-down economics actually works and that this country is headed in the wrong direction.  WE THE PEOPLE must now more than ever keep our voices being heard and to convince Congress not to go down that path of socialism and big government.  We can't keep bailing out everybody and expect the stock market to grow.  Every time we bail someone out, someone else wants a handout and consumer confidence drops like a rock!  Let's get out and let our voices be heard.
