2008 Election

 

November 4, 2008, a horrific day in American history.

What a depressing day.  This wonderful country that has provided so much opportunity, prosperity, and hope to so many people here and around the world just took a giant leap towards socialism.  All you people who voted for Barack NOBama, here's what you voted for.

1. Spreading the wealth.  Some of you say that taking from the rich/middle class to give to the poor is no different than taxes.  Pure garbage.  I get something for my taxes.  I get police, fire, defense, water, sewer, etc.  What do I get when NOBama and his socialist partners in Congress take my money and give it to those making less than $42,000 a year?  I'll tell you what I get, a smaller pay check.  Instead of taking my money, NOBama should great jobs by reducing taxes so small companies can hirer those people making less than $42,000.  Instead, NOBama's wealth distribution will cause small businesses to hire less even possibly reduce employment so they can pay NOBama's welfare.  I spoke to my landscaper the other day.  He owns his own business with 5 employees.  I asked him how the NOBama plan would affect him.  As I predicted, he said unless the economy makes a giant turn around, he will have to lay off an employee if the NOBama tax hike takes place.

2. Card Check: The Congress is currently discussing eliminating private union votes.  Why?  There is no reason I can think of other than to have more control over unions by intimidating union members.  This is a very terrifying concept.  Most of laws passed in America are based on precedence.  If the Congress and NOBama eliminate private union votes, then what could be next?  Eliminating private political votes!  Yes, that is the only reason I can think of why the Congress is entertaining this concept.  First, eliminate all private votes to control unions.  Then eliminate our right to a private vote in order to intimidate us.  Don't forget that NOBama and his left wing media  has harassed Joe the Plumber and the family of the Orlando reporter who challenged Biden.  This sounds a great deal like Communism.  Keep in mind that big changes in governments come about as a result of small steps.  You may think this will never happen and this is completely absurd.  Did you think 20 years ago a black man would be elected president?

3. NOBama supporters claim that John McCain is just another Bush.  yet NOBama supported the Patriot Act that allows the government to ease drop on citizens.  Although the Bush administration needed this act to keep us safe from terrorist, what does NOBama need it for?  I'm sure he will not use it to keep us safe.  No, he will use it to spy on us.  Sounds more like Communism.

4. Note that most Democrats voted for the banking industry bail out.  Yes, Republicans voted for it as well and I plan to vote against all those candidates, Democratic or Republican, who voted for this drastic Socialist act.

5. Nancy Pelosi and her gang have announced that they have a plan to nationalize our 401k accounts.  Pelosi's radical plan is to take our 401k plans away and replace them with a government run plan.  This plan would eliminate choice of mutual funds and other investment choices.  The plan would pay up to 3% in bonds adjusted for inflation on a yearly basis.  The most we would earn is the inflation rate.  No growth whatsoever.  There is no reason for this plan other than control of wealth.  The socialist left do NOT want us accumulating wealth.  They want to control the wealth.  Just think if your retirement plan consisted of social security and whatever you had been able to set aside with no growth.  Are traditional and Roth IRAs far behind?  The reason the left wants this plan is to eliminate the tax deferred basis of these accounts so they can get the taxes NOW so they can distribute them.  If this isn't socialism, then what is?  Think people!  You've just elected a man who said the problem with the civil rights movement is that the courts did not provide for wealth distribution.

6. Fairness Doctrine.  Congress has hinted it wants to revive the so called Fairness Doctrine. This bill requires the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced.  False!  The socialist left has been unable to sustain liberal talk radio.  As a result, since they cannot compete, they are attempting to shut down conservative talk radio.  Socialist are using the guise of fairness to attempt to suppress freedom of speech.  Does this sound like what our country stand for?  What happened to the first amendment?

 

What does this election mean to me?

I left the Republican party in 1988 because I felt they had gone to far to the left.  I am a conservative independent.  I love the constitution.  I want the government that the constitution outlines.  We have moved very far away from constitutional government.   The constitution outlines what the government is suppose to do for us - defend us and secure our property rights, THAT'S IT!  Now we have a $10 trillion deficit, $3 trillion budget (and about to sky rocket), and phenomenal government control.  However, today I rejoined the GOP.  I plan to do whatever I can to help GOP return to the ideals of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Reagan.  If the GOP returns to the ideals of strong defense, property rights, small government, state rights, and fiscal responsibility, then I will remain a GOP.  I will do whatever I can to make this happen.  It is only by returning to these ideals can we reclaim our country.  It is only by reclaiming out country can we become the beacon of light that brought millions of people here LEGALLY from around the world to prosper.  It is only with these ideals can we hope to revert the socialist moves that will occur the next 4 years.

 

Please join me in getting our country back.  Do what you can.  Join conservative movements where you live.  Help our country remain the leader in the world.
