The Three Little GOP Pigs

// February 7th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // POLITICAL ARENA

Any Republican who has America’s best interest in mind has no business working with Democrats in getting this Obama Porkulus Scam passed. Sadly, the Democrats have found three sellouts amongst the Republicans. The three little GOP pigs are none other than, Arlen Specter of  Pennsylvania, Susan Collins of Maine and Olympia Snowe, also of Maine.

These RINOs should be thrown out of the party. I wonder how much money they were promised for their district by Reid. How much did it cost for Reid to buy their support? These three lowlifes have revealed that they do not serve the American people, but rather their self-interest. They have chosen political favor over the good of the country.

These three pigs are a disgrace! This bill does nothing to keep families in homes. It does not put money in our wallets via real tax cuts. It doesn’t create solid, long-term jobs. This only expands the size of government and keeps millions of Americans dependent upon Big Brother.

On a further note, Obama has already proven that he does not know how to lead. As he made his T.V. rounds this week he should have had a banner behind entitled, “The Obama Fear Mongering Tour.” He has acted irresponsible in his quest to get this socialist bill passed. And here’s a message to all the liberal bloggers and media snobs. THIS IS NOT A BIPARTISIAN BILL. I’ve already seen some headlines claiming that this is bipartisan. THREE GOP VOTES DOES NOT EQUAL BIPARTISIANSHIP. The Democrats own this bill, they just don’t want to go down alone.

House Republicans Say No To Pork Plan

// January 29th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // ECONOMY

For sometime I have been considering leaving the Republican party. As Obama mania grows throughout the country I have feared that the Republicans would continue to forsake conservative values and choose popularity over principle.

After hearing the news that not a single Republican voted for the Obama pork plan I have reconsidered leaving the party…for now. This was the right thing to do! This is no stimulus. The only thing it stimulates is the coffers of the democrat’s, lobbyists and special interests. This plan does nothing for you or me. It’s irresponsible and insulting.

I hope the GOP continues to do the right thing. While I am optimistic that they may have finally come to their senses, I will continue to watch their actions throughout Obama’s term.

Though Obama’s plan will ultimately get passed after a Senate vote, the finger cannot be pointed at the House Republicans when this thing fails.

Great Job House Republicans. I hope the GOP  Senate follows suit.

Republicans Get It Right; Auto Bailout Fails

// December 12th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // ECONOMY

There will be no bailout for the Big Three automakers thanks to the Republicans. IT’S ABOUT TIME! Finally, someone had enough sense to say NO! Since the $750 billion dollar bailout (which has in my opinion failed) companies across America want a handout as well.

It’s okay to let a company fail. That’s what leads to better companies. If you continue to give money to these companies so they can float by and not correct their mistakes you are only encouraging failure. If I under perform at my workplace I don’t get a raise for the poor performance. I get shown the door.

These bailouts are making our country weak and it’s people dependant on the government rather than self-determination and will.  We don’t need a car czar, we need responsible CEO’s. We don’t need hybrid cars, we need less CAFE standards. We don’t need more government, WE NEED LESS.

Will the stock market react poorly? Yes, it’ll be bad. We will rebound though! These bailout addicts forget that this is America. We are at our best when the outlook is bleak.

Do I feel bad if people lose their jobs. Yes, but I don’t think it will be as bad as you may think. The bailout didn’t pass today, but it will be voted on again after the New Year. If it comes to it Bush may make good on his promise of using the TARP funds if the bailout doesn’t pass.

Democrats Couldn’t Sell Bailout Bill To Their Own Party, Still Blame Republicans

// September 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // ECONOMY, Featured Articles

The Democrats are blaming the Republicans for the failure of the bailout bill, but perhaps they could have done a better job of selling the bill to their own party. Over 90 democrats voted against the bill.
