Republican conservatives are no more conservative than Pol Pot or Karl Marx. |
Election Day can be a revolution if the American people choose to make
it one.
Congress has allowed both the judiciary and the executive branch to
usurp most of its authority.
Can you imagine a member of the executive branch telling a senator or
representative that he or she can't see something because it's
classified?
Congress and the executive branch are coequal.
Under our Constitution, the president is not a higher office than that
of a senator or a representative.
And all of them, Americans must never forget, are just the temporary
hired help.
They are not our lords and masters.
They are hired help who are supposed to work within the strict limits
set by the Constitution.
Under our system, sovereignty rests with the people, not with the
government.
It's too bad Americans have allowed government to encroach on their
freedoms to the point that, according to some polls, some Americans
are actually afraid of their own government.

Congressional Republicans

Congressional Republicans, the pundits say, are running against
fascism, which, of course, doesn't exist in today's world.
That's OK.
The same buffoons are waging a war against terrorism, which they can't
even define.
My fondest hope for this political season is that every Republican
senator and representative up for re-election is defeated.
It's not that the Democrats are any great prize, but they are
marginally more intellectually honest than the Republicans.
Most Democrats are leftists and socialists, and most of their rhetoric
reflects that, as do the issues they support.
Most Republicans, however, are big fat hypocrites who campaign as
conservatives when in fact, judged by their actions and their votes,
they are no more conservative than Pol Pot or Karl Marx.
A true conservative would balance the budget, would vote against all
foreign aid and would practice an isolationist foreign policy.
A true conservative would make sure corporations pay their fair share
of taxes, would cut out all subsidies to big business and would take
whatever steps were necessary to stop the shipping of manufacturing
jobs overseas and the import of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who
are a source of cheap labor.
Most of these windbags in both parties have only two skills:
conning voters and raising money from lobbyists.
Most of them couldn't manage a small law firm or even run a successful
hot-dog stand.
As for foreign affairs, most of them don't have a clue as to what's
going on outside their own country club and favorite fancy
restaurants.
They are mental and moral midgets.
Most of them neither speak nor read a foreign language.
If they have traveled overseas it's usually on those paid-for VIP
tours arranged by special-interest groups.
They don't read, most of them. In fact, aside from raising their own
already bloated pay, they spend the majority of their time raising
money for their next campaign.
Very few of them have ever served in the armed forces.
There are a handful of good men and women in both parties, but if in
doubt, always vote against the incumbent.
If you judge contemporary politicians by their record, it's abysmal.
Congressional hearings have become largely a farce, where panel
members make speeches rather than ask intelligent questions.
They usually don't start work until Tuesday and are out of there by
Thursday afternoon or Friday.
They have more holidays than Santa Claus.
Therefore, it's no surprise that they never, ever get their work done
on time.

encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It's because
volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people
to work for no pay for a long time."

..."In both parties"..
Meaning there ain't a whole lot of confidence in democratic
machinations either.
In an ideal election almost all incumbents should be voted out, with a
resulting split in congress which in effect would only allow truely
important legislation to be passed - and not slap-happy neoconisms.
The demos have also been spineless in the face of neocon antics and
have even gone along with the game. I suspect that the demo ranks are
rife with globalists too; neo-con new world 'orderers' on one flank and
demo one-world socialists on the other - not a happy situation.
Ultimately what either side says doesn't matter - it's what they do and
how they voted that matters.
These are the key issues that any candidate should be held responsible
for - in no particular order:
1) Enforcing US borders
2) Developing and keeping good jobs in the US for US citizens
3) An adherence (return) to constitution liberties as are accorded to
US citizens
4) Comprehensive and *open* congressional oversight of all US
government activities.
5) A balanced national budget
6) Rejection of NAFTA, and the WTO.
7) Removal of the tax burden shifted upon the middle class by the
neocons
8) Monopoly busting; dissolving monopolized business sectors.
9) Re-establishing import tariifs to generate revenue instead of taxing
US citizens to make up the difference.
10) Alernative domestic energy sources
11) Campaign reform - remove industry influence from the election
process
12) Get the federal government out of schooling; it's a state matter
13) Enforce guidelines for responsible broadcasting; no more corporate
lies
14) Once and for all separate US Social Security funds from those of
the General Fund.
15) A balanced trade regime
16) Forcing trans-national business to adhere to US regulations if they
want to do business (sell) in the US
17) Legislation kicking PACs off of the hill - with severe penalties
regarding influence peddling.
