I think of this…

I sent the following to Senators Bennet (Socialist-CO) and Udall (Socialist-CO) this morning.

Senator,

Your vote this morning is a confirmation of your ineptitude and inability to understand the principles of America and the US Constitution.

Your vote this morning condones and ecourages the theft of taxpayer dollars for bribes and payoffs.

Your vote this morning supports politics and power in lieu of the interest of the citizens of this country.

Your vote this morning is prima facie evidence that you have not read the bill, you do not comprehend its consequences, and do not understand the outcome.

You are raising taxes on Americans who are hurting and on the very people who actually create jobs.

You are jeopardizing the quality health care of seniors by creating the means to ration care.

You have committed 1/6th of a capitalist economy to a bloated, bureaucratic government incapable of efficiency and self-accountability.

You have created yet another entitlement hand out that will bankrupt this country so your party leader can add a political notch to his bedpost.

You have approved of faulty accounting tricks to cover up the true cost of this legislation for which private businesses and citizens would be jailed.

You have done this in spite of your constituency overwhelmingly in opposition to the legislation.

Senator, you will answer to voters.  Your term will end…but then, you don’t care, you’ve gotten your golden parachute for life.  Why is this bill good enough for us but not good enough for you?

Senator, you are simple-minded, irresponsible, socialist coward who lacks the fortitude to stand on the principles of individual freedoms.

Good luck on what’s left of your career in politics.

With great disdain…
An independent Colorado voter

what happens when the money runs out…

December 23, 2009

Margaret Thatcher said, “socialism is a great idea until you run out of other people’s money.” This is what happens when you run out of other people’s money…yes, its 13 minutes, but its worth it. The promises of a great society based on government defined and imposed equality and fairness is impossible to maintain.  The [...]

unemployment…

December 16, 2009

So, last week, the Dems were touting how wonderfully the “stimulus” was working when there was a drop in unemployment numbers.  OK, fine… $300 billion and 10 months later, we get a 0.2% drop.  But, come January and February, I challenge them to take the same credit. Why? Being a former employer who laid off [...]

barack obama’s jobs summit

November 12, 2009

Seriously…a jobs summit?  Wait…the $787 billion dollar stimulus package that needed to be enacted RIGHT NOW!!! isn’t working?  Wow, I wonder if anyone could have seen that coming? The White House is going to hold a jobs summit to discuss the 10.2% and rising unemployment rate.  As if this is going to solve anything.  It’s [...]

and the wall came down

November 9, 2009

I remember the night of November 9, 1989 pretty clearly.  Maybe not the minor details of the afternoon and evening…but I remember where I was and most importantly, how I felt. I grew up learning about the tyranny of Communism and Socialism in sharp contrast to Capitalism.  We learned that a Capitalist society allowed individuals [...]

no government bailout…

July 25, 2009

Ford has made themselves the example for the other car makers.  Ford posted a $2.2 billion (yup, B) profit in the second quarter of 2009.  Yes, a profit.  In the middle of one of the worst recessions ever. How the hell? Smart management, ingenuity, better products, desirable products. The smartest move Ford made was not [...]

broke and nothing to show for it…

June 24, 2009

I’m no billionaire, but I must be a friggin genius. Along with millions of other concerned Americans, I knew the Porkulus was a big fat waste of time, energy, and most of all….my money. So, when the guy with the fattest wallet says nope, no recovery you’ve got problems.  Do you remember how The One [...]

May 19, 2009

I found this new blog through a Facebook post from another conservative.  It seems the idea has caught on and in a few short days, Political Math is gathering a handful of readers.  Its still a little rough around the edges, but I like the content. The videos and text are a great explanation of [...]

obama’s bs…

April 15, 2009

So The One says he was “unaware” that the Tea Parties were taking place today. Ummm…what’s that word…oh yeah, bullshit! This statement by the administration today should be enlightening for you.  I’ll explain… If The One is truly “unaware”, then he is completely out of touch with the citizens and mood of this country.  And, [...]
