The Doom and Gloom Party

OK, now to bash the Republicans...

1. The government of the United States is not supposed to be a monarchy.

2. The scary people (read: Chaney, Rove, etc.) are supposed to stay behind the scenes. We all know they exist, but it shouldn't be so obvious.

3. Don't have just one gimmick. For instance, if you plan to be known for waging war, be good at it, otherwise you will need to deversify.

4. Never, never pick a fall guy unless you are willing to let him actually do the time.

OK, enough wise-assing, here's the real deal:

The Republicans became the Conservatives at some point, which is fine. The problem is that many well-known Republicans don't have the slightest idea what that means. Flag waving does not make one a patriot. "Trickle Down Economics" does not actually need to involve pissing on the middle class. To quote Stan Lee, "With great power comes great responsibility".

And for all of you who still haven't got Iraq figured out, here you go- Most big money oil from the Middle-East comes from Saudi. If the market gets flooded, the power base is removed from Saudi and the region gets truly destabilized. What nation has the oil fields capable of flooding the market? Iraq. If we plan to be that transparent, why don't we just go ahead and be the bad guys and take the oil fields from the Iraqis?

I am pretty conservative. I like to believe in conservative politicians. Unfortunately, recent history shows that I cannot trust those in power to leave me to my conservative lifestyle. When those in power don't care that I pay $3.75 for a gallon of milk, and $2.94 for a gallon of gas, I have to believe that they must be taught a lesson.

Here's the plan: We vote out every incumbent next election. The Republicans get the wrong idea and think that they have been rewarded for their recent behavior. Things get a little worse. Then, next election, we vote out every incumbent. The Democrats get the wrong idea and think that they are being rewarded for recaent behavior. Things get a little worse. Then, next election, we vote out every incumbent, and politicians start to get nervous. All of a sudden, there are no near-retirement Senators or Representatives. Congress starts to work really hard to impress the people. Better candidate choices are made available. Then, next election, we vote out every incumbent. Suddenly, the ear of every congressman is turned to his/her constituants. This particular Congress will go down in history as the hardest-working government that the United States has ever seen. From here, we vote carefully (and so do they), and things start getting better.

You see, I don't care what political party you belong to, as long as the best interests of the United States of America are of utmost concern to you. No honest citizen can say that either party has been an example of this so far. We actually have the power to make a difference. Instead of listening to what the politicians say, we need to make them listen to us.

I am in the process of getting a genuine website going, mostly so people will stop flagging my posts for offensive material. But also so I can try to get this message to a wider audience. You don't have to agree with me (sometimes its fun when you don't), but I still want to hear what you think.
