I must apologize for not having a blog for the past couple of weeks. I've been very engrossed with the political scene that has been unfolding. I do not understand the Democrats that are in office. It was reported that Nancy Pelosi would not even discuss how the two parties will work together if the Republicans take over control of the House in tomorrow's election. Yesterday, they played a recorded message left by an Alaskan TV crew (who thought they had hung up, but the phone failed to disconnect) while they were planning a smear campaign against the Tea Party Senate candidate, Joe Miller. The manager of the station confirmed that the message was from their phone, but went on to say that it was misunderstood! Yeah?? Really??? And, now the media that will even talk about it at all are saying that Palin made the whole thing up. Hhhm...I think they better come up with something better than that!
Today's scandal and shennanigan that has come to light was a 30-minute ad paid for by Christine O'Donnell's camp never aired! They had paid for it to be played twice, and it didn't air either time! Those ads cost a lot of money and it is a disgrace that the TV stations can be that crooked!
I started out by saying that I don't understand the Democrats. I honestly think that the biggest problem is that they have been in power too long! I know it seems like I am picking on just the Democrats, but, I think the longer EITHER PARTY is in office, they more power-hungry they become and they need to be voted out! None of them should ever be allowed to make politics a carreer!!! They want that power so much that they are willing to change the rules just to please them! Classic example: They were changing the rules to let the illegal immigrants vote in the election! Why? Because they are counting on the fact that the illegal immigrants will vote for THEM!!! That just may not be the case....so it may come back to bite them in the butt! At the same time they were "arranging" for the illegal immigrants to vote, they didn't want to allow the soldiers who are fighting for our rights the opportunity to vote! WHY? Same reason...they were afraid they would NOT vote for them!!!
OK, I have to get this off my chest! I've heard Obama time and again talk about the ditch that George Bush ran us in to. Excuse me, Mr. President...but the Democrats had control of the Senate and Congress during those last two years that Bush was in office!!! The President can't do these things alone...it takes the whole group with votes! And, that is exactly why we need to shift the power of the House to the Republicans! Obama needs to have his hands tied and not make his Marxist policies he is trying to pass so easy!!! We need the shift of power to pull this country back together after the Democrats have just about bankrupted us! It is our grandchildren and great-grandchildren who are going to be paying for what is done now! We have to have LESS government....starting NOW!! I know some people don't know how that is...but, just think of the taxes that will have to be put into effect in order to pay our $13T debt!!! Right now, we are looking at everyone having higher taxes...yes...even though Obama's promise was that those making less than $250K/year would not have one dime's increase in their taxes! Well...the way things are scheduled to go right now, someone making $50,000/year, their taxes are scheduled to go up by $2900.00!!! Sounds like a BARRELL of dimes to me!!!
I just want to make one more point! The biasness of the media has really had me bugged for a long time now. My husband and I do not watch the mainstream media at all! They don't report the whole story! This is a fact!!! Just as an example, here are two examples of how they reported the same thing, a) when Bush was in office and b) since Obama has been in office:
a) There has been ONLY 128,000 jobs created....Report on the jobs while Bush was in office
b) The has been only 163,000 jobs lost...Report on the jobs while Obama was in office
Second one:
a) Unemployment has skyrocketed to 4.8%...Bush's watch
b) Unemployment is at 9.8%...You guessed it...Obama's watch
These comparisons were actual news reports on the 3 main channels. Their very-evident biased attitudes were showing with all three reporters. That just shows that the way things are presented makes all the difference in the world! Unless you are watching Fox News, you really don't realize what is being shoved down the people's throats!
My final plea to everyone....PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT AND DUTY AND VOTE TOMORROW if you haven't already!
