"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

The Sad Truth

History of the past 50 years shows that we (the American people) keep repeating the same mistakes. It is widely recognized that the Democratic Party is the most liberal party in America. Yet, over the past 50 years (since 1961 and through 2011) we continue to vote democrats into Congress. Congress has the responsibility and authority for creating laws and for spending money - not the President. So it is much more important to know who our Congressmen are, as well as what they stand for. Here's the analysis. The Senate has been controlled by the Democrats 60% of the time since 1961 (30 years to 20). The House of Representatives has been controlled by the Democrats 76% of the time since 1961 (38 years to 12). And in those years where there was a clear majority in the Senate (some years were ties or differences of 2 seats or less) the Democrats have controlled the entire Congress 75% of the time (30 years to 10). And we wonder why we're in the state we're in? Let's put fiscal conservatives in office folks, or you and I will be slaves to the debt we're incurring, and so will our children, their children, and on and on. It's not sustainable!! Tell those who represent you to repeal the spending that has been passed into law since January. If they don't do it, VOTE THEM OUT, and tell them that's your plan! Wake up America!!!
