Despair

No, I won't let this feeling, this lump of rocks in my stomach, get me down. I won't quit harping on these guys, these elected officials who continue to pass things in defiance of the obvious will of the American people.

They need to go, the sooner the better. If not, imagine the evil, the harm they will do to this nation and its heritage, tradition, and greatness.

No doubt, opponents of these bozos will be painted as some sort of extremists, Nazis or Fascists, even. The Tea Parties, Town Halls, and writers opposed to the massive, UnAmerican actions by Congress will themselves be characterized in pejorative ways. Note the Mallard Fillmore cartoon of last week, announcing that one of the major networks' news anchors will be absent for a few days recovering from a strained mouth--from smirking at a recent story about the Tea Parties. Expect no help from the mainstream media, notably television and newspapers. Apparently they never heard of Pastor Niemoeller (which doesn't surprise me, since they display an incredible lack of quality education).

Am I paranoid, an extremist? You decide. Catch this one.

Congressman Alcee Hastings, a Dem from Fla, said this the other day: "There ain't no rules here. We're tryin' to accomplish something.... All this talk about rules.... We make 'em up as we go along." (Should I add that Hastings was a Federal District Court Judge until impeached and removed about 20 years ago for financial improprieties? And then the idiotic voters of his district in Fla elected him to the House, again and again!)

If this doesn't scare us into finally standing up, get a load of this, from Mich's own John Dingell:

And, I heard Dingell on the radio say that Congress is smarter than we are, that it knows better what's best for us.

Arrogance from the self-anointed. Bullying tactics, bribes, etc. Can anyone be a bigger sellout than Bart Stupak? He recently denounced a Republican proposal/amendment to the bill opposed to abortion that he himself suggested a while back! Is it true he was promised $700 million for his district--for airports???? Airports in the Upper Peninsula? And don't forget the prostitutes from Louisiana, Nebraska, etc.

"Ah, but it's always been like this," you say. I think I could argue it hasn't, at least not in such a debilitating way. And, besides, wasn't this supposed to be "Change we can count on?" You know, "transparency" (What happened to C-Span? Instead we get Sat night, Sun night, Chris Eve votes, backroom bribes/deals, etc.), bipartisanship (no need to address that one), no lobbyists' influence (Hmmm...who spends more time in the Obama White House than anyone else? Hint: it's a union known by its initials.), and "I'll read a bill for five days before I sign it."

It's time to get rid of them all--all the liars, cheats, arrogant asses (I know that term is usually reserved for the U of M). Let's vote in those who will repeal the bailouts, the health care, and, for a start, all the benefits these bozos in office have voted for themselves over the years. Had they been doing their jobs--you know, representing US citizens--I could live with the perquisites. But, they are so arrogant, they are the self-anointed, when we bounce them out of office, they should have no trouble taking care of themselves, making ends meet by themselves.

It's been nice talking to you, Ron and, no, the sinking feeling in my stomach hasn't abated.
