IT'S THE SMART MOVE

I just heard about McCains pick for the V.P. slot, and it's the smart move.
Sarah Palin is an unknown, I'll admit that I don't know much about her, I have read as much as I could find, she sounds like an American success story, her life could be made into a movie, she has accomplished quite a bit in 44 years.
I am willing to go out on a limb and throw out some gut feelings about Palin, she is the mother of 5, her last child was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome in the womb, she made the smart move, she had the baby, she understands the true meaning of life. This is not an article arguing the abortion issue, but there are people in this world that would do almost anything to have a baby, no matter what the circumstance, then there are people in this world that would do anything for the sake of their own personal convenience, this is an exercise in commitment, this is a person that knows what she believes in, no amount of political experience can trump that!
I am an outdoorsman and a fishing junkie, Palin was a commercial fisherman, I have friends that live in Alaska, they truly are "a different breed" of people, they are resolute and seem to have a love for the land that I don't completely understand, but I actually trust them almost blindly.
Palin has been labeled a "reformer" and a "maverick", she blew the whistle on corruption in Alaska's political men's club, she urged restraint on earmarks that have made Alaska a pork barrel laughing stock, she speaks clearly and with conviction, uncoached and from the hip.
It is my opinion that unlike another carpet bagging female politician, who's been mired in scandal after scandal, tolerates a philandering pompous ass of a husband, has accomplished little if anything in her "service" in the Senate, Sarah Palin will raise the bar, not for women, but for politicians across the board, I have not been thrilled with any female politician in my lifetime, nor any politician for that matter, most of the female politicians seemed to vote with their hearts rather than their heads, I still demand term limits for all political office holders on the national level, its a shame that when we get, what I believe will be a great one with Palin, the RATS ON THE HILL have already sullied the system.

BET IT AGAINST THE HOUSE

Why do THE RATS ON THE HILL get to neglect their jobs when they are applying for a better one, why are Senators or Governors allowed to go out campaigning and traveling all over the world and still get to keep their jobs, why is there no risk involved for THE RATS when they try to lie, promise and buy their way into higher office.
I say "BET YOUR JOB AGAINST THE HOUSE", that's right, if you run for another office when you are already in office, you should have to vacate the existing office, win or lose!
Look at Kerry and Lieberman, they ran for higher office and were defeated, they neglected their posts for over a year, but they weren't worried, win or lose, they still had something to "fall back on". Term limits would ultimately solve this problem, my idea would be this, speaking only in terms of national political office. The house of Representatives, the senate and the presidency.
If elected to the house, you would get one six year term, you would not be eligible to run for that position again, then if you ran for the senate and won, you would get another six year term and would not be eligible to run for that seat again, then if you chose to run for the presidency and won, you would get another six year term....That's it!
The worst thing that could happen to us is to have one of these hacks for 18 years, this would do away with the special interest bias and the government would have a better chance of policing itself. I challenge anyone to come up with a better plan, more importantly, I challenge THE RATS to put it into action.

MY WELFARE DRUG TESTING POLICY

America is the greatest country in the world, when I see people that can't even speak the language driving around in brand new Escalades or F-250's, I think, this would not be possible anywhere else. With that said, I was thinking, lots of my friends and acquaintances have to take drug tests to either get or keep a job, drugs are bad, I don't blame employers for wanting to weed out people that use drugs, they can be a costly liability if there was an accident on company time and it could proven that the person involved was under the influence of illegal drugs.
I think that America is a compassionate country, we love to help others get up and dust themselves off, however we do have a certain part of the population that has no intention of getting off the welfare rolls, their JOB is to figure out which politician (RAT) will be the most adept at taking money out of your pocket and giving it to them, then they vote for that RAT.
Here is my idea, lets make all welfare recipients go pick up their electronic welfare cards at the post office, but before they can take possession of the card they must submit to a drug test, a simple urinalysis, just like real employed people have to do, if you fail the drug test you forfeit your welfare benefits for 1 month, then you come back and try it again, if you fail again you forfeit your welfare benefits for 3 months, then 6 months and then you have your welfare benefits revoked for 3 years.
While you are a welfare recipient you will not be allowed to vote in any election, not even for dog catcher, anyone hoping to vote in any election will have to be a legal United States citizen and provide official state sanctioned photo identification, no exceptions. I think that we can permeate the RATS NEST ON THE HILL by making sure that all voters accept the riggers of benefiting from the American dream by acting like Americans.

WILL JOE TAKE THE HIGH ROAD ?

As a Conservative independent I hail the choice of Joe Biden as Obamas running mate, this makes it a safe bet that the ultra-liberals will not slither into the White House after all.
Biden is best known as a plagiarist and a hypocrite, this is only because he has NEVER done anything noteworthy in his 35+ year congressional career, as a law student at Syracuse, he was caught plagiarising an article from an obscure paper published in the Fordham Law Review, of course he said that there was no malevolence or intent behind the incident, but I believe that this is a character flaw that is all too common in congress today, THE RATS ARE FAT AND LAZY, they know that unless they really screw up, their incumbent status makes it hard for them to be thrown out of office, that's why we need term limits, Joe Biden is about as fresh a breath of air as my high school gym locker was.
Joe, we got the goods on you, if you plan on being Obamas attack dog, forget it, take the high road Joe, it will be a good way to be remembered.

FIGHT FOR THE FAIR TAX

The fair tax will set us free, it is such a simple concept that the RATS ON THE HILL would never pass it because it will take the money (POWER) out of their hands. Its so simple that you could explain it to a 10 year old child without embarrassing or confusing him, the RATS ON THE HILL don't want that either, they have dumbed the average American down almost enough to give the RATS free reign.
This is what is important to the RATS ON THE HILL, staying in office long enough to collect the Congressional pension, making the right contacts so that when they are either thrown out of office or step down to avoid prison they can get a lobbyist position for themselves and their relatives, grandstanding for the cameras (very important), getting buildings and roads named after them before they die (very-very important), stirring up class warfare and racial divides and spending every last nickel of taxpayer funds with little or nothing to show for it.
This is the four year work cycle for the RATS ON THE HILL, after getting elected or re-elected, the first 6 months are spent getting their staff assembled and getting new office furniture, the next 18 months are spent pointing fingers at the other party, securing pork projects for their district, blaming the President for EVERYTHING, covering their ass for the next scandal and taking lots of trips to far off places in private jets at tax payer expense that have absolutely nothing to do with improving the fortunes of the United States.
The last 2 years are spent threatening freshman congressman with abandonment or expulsion from their committee posts to throw a vote, bragging about their meager accomplishments, cramming in as many photo-ops as possible with movie stars and foreign dignitaries and best of all neglecting their jobs to take care of THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in their lives.......GETTING RE-ELECTED.

TERM LIMITS.....TERM LIMITS.....TERM LIMITS !!!!!!!!!!!
The problem with the current system is that these RATS who have been on the hill for decades are the corrupting force that causes gridlock, the freshman and junior lawmakers are intimidated by the RATS.
What has Ted Kennedy, Orrin Hatch, Barbara Boxer, Charles Byrd, Bill Nelson, Charley Rangel, John Lewis, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Maxine Waters, Dick Durbin, Harry Reid and the rest of the multi-decade RATS done for you lately........Nothing....Nothing.
If the RATS ON THE HILL are doing such a great job for the American people (so they say), they should have no problem letting the public have a vote on term limits.
There are a few good RATS in the nest, but are you going to stick "your" hand in there to pick them out ?

THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING...THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING

Do you believe in fate, coincidence or deja vu ?
Do you think that the Russian aggression is just a flash in the pan or do you smell the fixins of a reorganization of the former Soviet Union, and why are they acting up at this particular time.
A combination of the Olympics, Presidential election politics, American political infighting, a weak dollar, an unpopular war, energy uncertainty, rogue nuclear proliferation, the U.S. military that is spread paper thin, and a very sinister Russian "Prime Minister" causes just enough confusion for the world to turn a blind eye to the carnage in the country of Georgia.
If history has taught us anything it should be that through multiple layers of uncertainty, financial unrest, world politics and aggression in Europe, there is a fertile breeding ground for military overthrows, remember the future, remember the 1936 Olympics in Berlin with Adolph Hitler as the emcee, the exact circumstances were in place and look what happened.
The Russians are licking their chops in anticipation of a weak and unpopular president coming into office, the moment is right, Russia has an unlimited supply of patsies to take the fall for their dirty deeds, I appreciate what John McCain went through in a very unpopular war, he is one tough son of a gun and I believe that he would let the GENERALS run and win wars, he has common sense but even he will be in over his head due to the CHAOS that this pathetic congress has perpetrated upon our beloved country.
Obama would be chewed up and spit out by the wily Russian gangster Putin, I am an independent conservative that would vote for the best person for the job because I am not beholding to either party, I think they both stink. As usual we are stuck with choosing the lesser of two evils, however in this case I think that would prefer to have McCain in the White house and let him concentrate on foreign policy and have a successful businessman like Romney running the economic side of things, why should a vice president sit around waiting for the sitting president to croak when he could be put to good use by utilising the power of the office to focus on domestic woes.

AREN'T YOU TIRED OF THIS BEHAVIOR

I'm talking about the....pay raise voting, special interest beholding, spendthrift, double dealing economic failures that make up this congress. I am a Georgia conservative that has been sold out by those two BILGE RATS ISAKSON AND SAXBY. It cost me $12 to fill my LAWNMOWER yesterday, this goes way beyond the PRICE of gasoline, this is a national security issue of the highest order. We need to make this country as energy independent as possible as soon as possible and here's why.
I believe that within 10 years the auto manufacturers will be able to mass produce a compact to midsized car that will run on electricity, you will be able to plug it in to a wall socket, it will do 75 miles per hour and it will have a range of 200 miles between charges, through attrition, the U.S. will be able to replace the current gasoline fleet with these vehicles and the everyday commuter, which is the primary user of gasoline, will be able to function relatively normally, HOWEVER, the MILITARY, RAILROAD and TRANSPORT TRUCKERS will be needing gas/diesel for probably the next 40 years until an alternative for this is rectified.
It's not just a coincidence that Russia is starting to get more aggressive in that part of the world, they were going after the oil pipelines in the former Soviet Georgia for a reason, they want to disrupt oil supplies and hold our economy ransom in the process.
What good are ANY OF THESE POLITICIANS if they cannot secure the borders, get us on the road to energy independence and STOP SPENDING ALL OF THE MONEY, there is no rule that I am aware of that states that you have to spend every last cent of tax payer money!!!!!

Join with me and lets let the PEOPLE decide on term limits, the RATS ON THE HILL will never vote themselves out of POWER AND PRESTIGE, but we cannot let these CHARLATIANS stay in power indefinitely. It's now or never, the RATS ON THE HILL have almost run this country into the ground, good Americans may still be able to save it.
