Ethics in American politics

Hi

It seems that the democratic party is going crazy. There is no leadership and now the democrats are fighting amongst themselves.

Case in point - In order to get an additional vote for Obamacare, Congressman Massa of New York is being thrown under the bus. The liberal leaning pundits are all spinning the "tale" that it is because of a sex scandal. Rot. If sex scandals were any criteria why isn't Barney Frank being pushed out? The liberals can spin all they want but facts deny any baloney about the real reason for a witch hunt on Massa. I just love it when the liberals try to put this nonsense in a positive light, it shows them for what they are, hypocrites.

Another example is the recent remarks by our old friend Dan Rather. You remember him, the guy who wore sweaters on TV and then ran with a phony story about George Bush. Now Dan is making remarks on TV and saying Obama could not sell watermelons. I wish some liberal (or anyone else) could explain to me why that remark doesn't get Rev Sharpton out with his bullhorn. More hypocrisy. Don't you just love it when these self proclaimed "smart people" get themselves into such Catch 22 situations. I know I would appreciate a good honest answer from some liberal pundit. I an not holding my breath until that happens.

Meanwhile keep up your prayers for our service people.

Lack of leadership in DC

Hi

It is disheartening to follow what is going on in Washington. It is depressing enough about health care reform, the debate over global warming and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now we have a new concern.

The question of ethical people running our government concerns me. House Speaker Pelosi condones the actions of Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wrangle, former congressman Jefferson is in jail and the late Congressman John Murtha has had his name connected to various nefarious doings. I wish some one could explain to me what this does to the promise by Speaker Pelosi that we will have an open and honest government. Do you think that she understands that when she gives Wrangle a pass on his ethics violations she is in effect assuming the blame for these tactics? I wonder if she does.

The good news is that tomorrow is primary day here in Texas and we can start the ball rolling to oust some of these characters. Please remember this when you cast your ballot.

There are good and ethical people who work for our government, our military. Please pray that they are protected.
GOD Bless

Morality of our politicians

Hi

There is a terrible attitude in Washington, DC. It appears as if the elected officials,both parties, have a sense of entitlement to the spoils of our labors. Ain't so.

It is distressing to read that someone like Congressman Wrangle (D-NY) adopts an air of, "I am above the people of the nation". This man has tax problems, questions of his
reporting wealth and now an ethics allegation. He answers the allegation by denying his aides statements that they informed him of certain trips being illegal. He never got the message. Cone on, Congressman, you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar, admit it,take the responsibility and atone. The way to atone is to resign your post as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. We don't need some one with a clouded sense of ethics writing our tax laws. Of course a resignation would show you have morals and I wonder if you do have morals. Actions speak louder than words.

While we di8scuss this let us remember the words of Speaker Pelosi and the candidate Obama, we were promised a clean, open and honest administration. If you want to be what you promised get this character off the committee. Is this too much to expect. I await your decision.

Mean while we can continue to pray for our honorable and brave warriors. Please remember them.
GOD Bless

Bipartisan politics and health care

Hi

Thursday the President will conduct a so called bipartisan health care summit. I wish him luck but I don't expect mush to be accomplished. In reality it seems like a feeble attempt to get republicans to agree to a bad piece of legislation. The only bipartisanship to come from this is the distrust from the American people. The voter anger will be aimed at both major political parties, and the American people will be the ones to suffer. This is the time for partisan politics, the republicans should stand for what the voters want, no Obamacare, and the republicans should not sign on to any legislation which gives us Obamacare.

The tea parties were held in order to let the politicians what the American people want, the republicans must respect that feeling or else be doomed. Let's hope that we get some fortitude from the republicans. If not, keep in mind those who caved and remember their names when the 2010 elections come around.

Keep saying those prayers for our service people.
GOD Bless

Obama Health Care

Hi

The president is at it again. We are seeing another effort to pass unwanted health care reform down our collective throats. When will this end? I know I speak for many people when I say that the government no longer is doing the best thing for the people.

On TV we see liberal pundits still try to justify the attempt to pass this health care legislation but no one addresses the fact that the public doesn't want Obamacare. It has been mentioned often that the people want some reform but things like tort reform and allowing insurance carriers write policies across the state lines. The democrats will not even discuss this, solely because the trial lawyers want it and the lawyers contribute t democratic candidates. The democrats are playing to their donors even though it creates a hardship on the general public. We have one big weapon, vote the bums out in midterm elections and then vote the president out in 2012. Save the country. Please look at what any candidate stands for before making your decision on election day. This past election which was primarily an anti Bush vote showed how dangerous a vote can be if the electorate do not consider the stand and policies of the candidates.

Continue t pray for our troops.
GOD Bless

Where dowe go from here

Hi

The title of this blog does not give a clue as to the content, this was done with a purpose in mind. The blog is about the direction we should try to steer our country. Let us start with the 2010 mid term election.

We need a new government, not just the people but the complete mindset. resident Obama promised this when he ran for office but so far all we have gotten is more of the same. We need real change.

In the 2010 elections we should elect out of office any politician who supports the unpopular positions being put forth by the liberal left. The people do not want a government run health care system, why is congress trying to push one off on us? We don't want a blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, again, why is the government trying to push this on us? This writing could go on and on about things that the liberal elite in DC feel we should have. I say let's teach them a lesson and throw them out. In the next presidential election we should look at what the president has done and if we don't like, then throw him out. We the people need to take back our government.

I have tried to give my take on ways to better our government and I will continue to do so. I hope you will read the blogs.

Please remember to pray for our heroes.
GOD Bless

Tea Party and Town Hall meetings

Hi

It has become a hot topic on the news programs, "What do you make of the Tea Party?" What amazes me is how the pundits see so differently from the way I see it. Many, if not most, of the pundits see this as a new insurgent political party. I see it as a grass roots movement which is angry at both political parties. The cause of this misunderstanding is that those elected officials in Washington, DC just do not understand the American voters. The pundits go along with the Washington establishment primarily because of the culture of the city. DC eats up personalities and numbs the thinking process of the insiders. They huddle together and socialize with each other so they tend to get a very narrow point of view. Since most of these people seem to be liberal the prevailing thought is liberal.

We see it in the main stream media,papers like the New York Times do not report the cause,effect nor the make up of the tea parties. To the editorial staff any one who supports a tea party concept is just a radical right wing nut. Why don't they get it. The American public is tired of politics as usual,mutual backscratching by politicians of both parties and what seems like an unending stream of self serving legislation. We pay and we are pi**** off, listen Washington. The American people want and need a change of the way things have been running. I usually do not give ultimatums but in this case I must make an exception. If the elected officials don't share up by the November electionm, it will be "sayonara". 'Nuff said.

Meanwhile please continue to support our troops and keep praying for their safety.
GOD Bless
