House Markets Socialism For The Masses

The House today passed the monstronsity so we can all settle down because the Government will now assume responsibility for all facets of our lives. The White House promised 48 hours to see it before voting, but only gave congress 12. Of course, it still has to go back to the Senate for approval.

Here's the thing. All this money is coming from us to pay for "stuff" for us. I can't help thinking of ID theft. This guy has stolen your credit card and comes to you and gives you money. You're thinkin' what a nice guy. But the money came from your bank account. Just a thought.....

Congressman John Boehner stood before the House and held up this huge pile of paper that is the bill (1000+ pages) and pointed out that not a single member of congress has even read the thing. "and we're supposed to vote on it?" he says and drops it with a thud on the floor.

I Voted!

It's such a rush when you get to exercise your power. Here in Petersburg, most of the folks are elderly and didn't want to go out to vote so the entire town (pop. 195) did absentee voting. We went to Lakota which is the county seat and voted there. This may be one of the most important elections ever. McCain is not Bush and Obama is not a centrist. Without the backing of the mainstream media and internet contributors Obama would never have beaten Hillary. So we have a moderate republican against the #1 and #3 most liberal democrats in Washoington. I just worry about extremeism on either side. I would never have voted for a David Duke either. Here's another thing that bothers me. The FBI stopped a couple of idiot neo-nazis from assasinating Obama and I say that's great. I'd never want harm to come to anyone like that. This is a great country and Obama wants to change everything. Don't argue about it, it has been documented. When he feels the constitution is flawed because it doesn't give the government enough power over the people there is something wrong. The constitution is designed to give the power to the people. Yeah, Vote early, vote often.
