Funny how the WH hasn't announced any kind of a bailout for the Big 3 yet this whole week. I think that most of the rats in Washington are programmed to put any kind of unpopular, costly, or just plain stupid deals, plans and announcements off until late Friday afternoon. That way the radio talkshow circuit can't get their teeth into it until it's been parsed and sold on the Sunday morning political talkshows. So watch out for the announcement on Friday that Bush worked it out to give Detroit an early Christmas present without making the UAW give in. Folks, I'm telling you that Bush and the rest of the folks in Das Capital have sold us down the river.
Why is it that we aren't getting our voices heard? Because we don't write the big checks made out to your congressman, senator, or party. Our government is just as for sale as an Illinois senate seat. And don't think that the rest of the world doesn't know that. There are hundreds of foreign interests working in the hallways of Capitol Hill. Dubai has Bubba Clinton in their back pocket. My congressman has a more than favorable rating from groups that support Iran. IRAN! So maybe if one of you Mega Millions lotto winners want to maybe slide a few thousand my way, we could buy a congressman or senator to speak up.
All kidding aside, that is just the reason why I want to put some friends together to help me run for congress. Soon I hope to get some further advice and support from those who are already in congress or have previously served. My goal is to be able to challenge for the seat in 2010. If you've been reading here, you know how I feel on many subjects and I think that there are enough folks out there who believe like I do that the GOP has gone off track.
We need true conservative ideas and values brought back to Washington. America needs to create the opportunities to get ahead without government getting in the way. The previous generation sat by and let our nation get too dependent on foreign oil, too dependent on foreign workers (legal and illegal) to do the jobs we thought are beneath us, too dependent on somebody else to take care of the tough jobs, and too dependent on government handouts. Our country needs to be weaned off the teats of big government. America is a choice land, and I cannot stay on the sidelines while good intentioned people - with bad ideas ruin it.
