"A Rainbow of Economic Prosperity Awaits the Nation."

On November 2, 2010, we will gather to decide on what direction to take the nation. Do we continue moving forward despite the current economic torrential blizzard where beyond this awaits an economic rainbow of prosperity, or do we--gulp--move backwards?

On one side; and there are sides, is a political party that has in essence declared war on the middle class, working poor, and the poor citizens. A political party whose members supports outsourcing American jobs to countries they say that the Republic should not do business with because they practice communist philosophy--and yet, this political party accepts millions of dollars from China.

This is a political party that has members who have campaigned on overthrowing the government and eliminating the 1st, 14th, 16th and the 17th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution--the Constitution! This is the living document that keeps us from tearing each other and the Union apart.

This is a political party that refuses to create jobs; wait, not just jobs--good paying employment opportunities that will benefit families and stimulate the economy, health care for all Americans, and new innovative education policies that will produce scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs and medical professionals, and environmental and finance reform.

This is the Tea/Republican Party. This is the party of Wall Street, corporations, the wealthy, aka, the party of "NO" to the other 98% of America.

On the other side, there is the political party that has members that have lost their way and at times those members mirror the principles of the Tea/Republican Party, and have at times capitulated to the party of "NO."

However, the Democratic Party HAS members that are serving the needs of the dwindling middle class, working poor, and the poor citizens, they support education, Wall Street and health care reform, support for small businesses, gay rights and are the last line of defense on protecting the environment from those that don't give a damn about the quality or there lack of water we drink and the air we breathe. The Party of Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama has served the will of the people and battled the "Beast of Intolerance, Racism, Poverty and Unemployment."

On November 2, 2010, we can vote to abandon the "failed policies of empty rhetoric from the past" or we can continue implementing solutions that will strengthen and empower our current fractured Republic.

On November 2, 2010, we will once again--be the outcome.

“Using Thomas Jefferson--When It’s Convenient.”

Many of the “loons who sat by the door of democracy” are in full support of Wall Street and corporations, and how they love to quote Thomas Jefferson--when it fits their needs. They like to talk about how sharing one’s wealth is wrong and how poor people need to get off they're assess, get a job, and make something of themselves. They tell the soon-to-be-extinct middle class that poor people are irrelevant and that Mr. Jefferson said:

“The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

The Angle’s, Miller’s, Paladino's, McMahon’s, and Rand (“My Goons Will Stomp On Your Head”) Paul says government is too big and trying to control our lives. They invoke Thomas Jefferson--again, with quotes to stir the soul:

“My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.”

They say too much government is bad and limited government is good. Yet, if you ask them to name at least three Republican Presidents that lived by the “limited government” mantra, they’d gleefully say Reagan, Bush I and Bush II--and I’d gleefully say “Wrong,” “No and “LOL.”

Then they would be angry and infuriated. Ms. Angle, Mr. Tancredo, and Mr. Perry would utter the quote by Mr. Jefferson that is now a catch phrase craze in America:

“The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.”

All the while saying Wall Street and corporations are good for America. One can place what appears to be the never ending economic nightmare in America on President Obama. I guess it’s easy to do so when you’re the one holding the hot potato and no one else is around to toss it to or catch it for that matter. But make no mistake--it was Wall Street and the corporations that have bought us to the current doom of despair and it was Thomas Jefferson who said:

“I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.”

"So, Who's the Real Terrorists?"

I am so sick and tired of these cowards with their cowardly threats about overthrowing the United States if they aren't elected in November. This is treason pure and simple and those that are fanning the flames--traitors to the Republic.

Sharon Angle from Nevada and Rick Perry from Texas are some of the culprits who began this acidic behavior for this election cycle and people are in full support of them.

Elected officials--here in a America openly and arrogantly talking about invoking their 2nd Amendment and seceding from the Union if they don't get what they want. Five years ago the faux public servants would have been arrested, prosecuted, and jailed for their "cowardly and treacherous act."

No! We are heading in the wrong direction when citizens are accepting this type of rhetoric from individuals s who aspire to sit at the table of our government.

Oh the irony. Citizens were branded "Un-American" when they didn't support Bush's War, so what shall we call Americans campaigning on terror, fear, threats, and secessionism--patriots?
