Take Care of America First

Well election time is coming. I am personally not a fan of George Bush. I am sure as a person he is a nice man and I would not even want his job but as a president he just doesn't do it for me. Sometimes when I listen to him speak I think his speech writers are just laughing their collective asses off at some of the drivel they can get him to say. Some kind of a big joke on the big guy.

I know it is time for the presidential election but honestly the president is just the guy that catches the blame for everything. So I think it is time to start ousting some of the career representatives and senators that don't seem to listen to what the people want. These are the people that really decide what happens in our country so lets get some fresh blood in the place. Some of these old dudes have been hangin out in congress since Lincoln was in office.

I myself have not decided between Obama and McCain. I am a democrat but I believe in voting for what is best for the country. Seems the politicians have lost all sense of what they are supposed to be doing. Politics have become quite partisan these days. Congress needs to stop voting along party lines and start voting according to what their constituents want and what is best for the country.

After we get some fresh blood lets start taking care of America first! I know Saddam was a really bad guy and the middle east is important to us for oil but let's keep a limited hand in that pocket. Keep supply lines open and oil on the market and other than that stay the f*&k out of their business. All the money we are spending on rebuilding their country (and word is they have an $80 billion budget surplus this year) would sure go a long way toward education in our country. A long way toward feeding all of our own people. A long way toward helping people get off the streets.

Here is an idea. Instead of spending billions of dollars in a foreign country that is getting rich off of selling oil why doesnt the government just pay off everyones mortgage in this country. Would prevent a lot of families from losing thier homes. It would also prevent a lot of empty houses sitting around to be vandalized.

How about using all that money toward helping to lower the cost of gas. Why should I be paying 40 cents a gallon or more in taxes when apparently the government just has money to throw around in Iraq anyway. Let George just spend all that money from the war effort and rebuilding projects to buy the damn oil and give it to the people struggling here in the US.

These are just my thoughts for today and my message is:

Lets vote in some fresh blood in the house and senate where the real power is. Make a difference as an American and exercise your right to vote.
