A PERFECT SUMMATIOIN OF WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY.

I really tried to find something in this that I did not agree with, but could not. Also, I felt that everything that is written in this supports my own view, that we need term limits and that includes both democrats and republicans. One term and they are out, they spend not one day in office running for re-election. Maybe then, decisions will be made based on what is good and right and the constitution. I hope we wake up before it is too late. Factual, Accurate, Truthful and Pitiful! Just plain pitiful.

RE-ELECT NOBODY! Worthy of your time and attention regardless of your Party Affiliation. 545 Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why? If both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, why do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, then why do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices – 545 human beings out of the 300 million – are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this cou

not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of INCOMPETENCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ. If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are THEIR BOSSES – provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!.

Absolutely, fantastic post and comment. I will do what ever is legal to bring this government to its knees and hopefully behind bars. I'm actually surprised this post made it to the public board. Keep it up, linecrosser2@...-yahoo.... -com

Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is also would be better at leading our nation in the future after a McCain Presidency than Senator Barak Obama would be in leading our nation in the future starting in January 2009 because of three areas which are as follows: ideology , experience, and accomplisments. Ideologically she is a conservative. Experientially she has two years of executive administrative governing experience . When it comes to accomplishments she accomplished 3 major things which are as follows: government reform, the state budget and the economy, and wise use of natural resources. She reformed government by standing up to the big oil companies by breaking up the monopoly on power and resources. She insisted on competition and basic fairness which ended the control that the oil companies had on the state, and thereby returning control of the state back to the people. She lead well in the state budget by generating a surplus which came about by vetoing a half billion dollars of wasteful spending. Economically under her leadership she brought about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. She also suspended the state fuel tax, and when oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, she sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska . On natural resources she has shown great leadership by beginning a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence, so please vote John McCain for President.John Wa
