Yes = $100 Million

It isn't looking good. $100 Million speaks loudly to the Senator of Louisiana.

Welcome to the 11th Hour

America is on the brink of Socialism and our fate lies in the hands of two Democrat Senators. Most Americans assume that tomorrow will come and be fine. Nothing really will change and that this Country is the greatest place and magically will continue to be. That is the problem. Stupid breeds stupid. We need a cleansing of this mentality. Taxing the rich and giving to the poor won't last, won't work and has never worked.

Hard work, drive, determination and a competitive nature is what has made America great. Not the notion that everything should be fair. What is fair? Who determines what fair is?

I have had enough - done - put a fork in me! Today as I read all this crap about Healthcare reform - the $100 million payoff to the Louisiana Senator I decided that I might stroke. Then I thought...Why do we take this? Why do I continue to pay taxes? What if everyone that feels this way went into Human Resources at work on Monday and filed tax exempt. We just stopped funding this. That is our RIGHT! The Gov't exists because we pay for it and as a taxpaying, hard working American I am sick of it!

Audit me - NO ONE in the Obama cabinet pays taxes, Rangel from NY doesn't pay - so why do we? The entire Tea Party movement should become - STOP PAYING TAXES PARTY! Senators and Congressman only have the money we pay to spend!! So let's stop paying!!

Why bring Terror back to NY?

Wonderful insight by John Yoo former Bush Administration Attorney. John Yoo sheds light on issues that must be considered. This article also makes one ponder the true motives behind the Obama administration's decision to try the 5 terrorists in US Criminal Court. Is this truly a trial for the terrorists or a trial to persecute Bush, Cheney, & the CIA?

WSJ - John Yoo Terrorist Opinion

Thank You to all the Veterans!

What a wonderfully patriotic - yet, sad day.

My paternal grandfather joined the Army at 18 and began a journey that took him far away from the farm he grew up on in rural Alabama. He was a handsome young man with a head full of black curls and a crooked smile.
Shortly after basic training and the the attack on Pearl Harbor he was sent overseas. He didn't talk much about his experiences in WWII - just a comment here and there. It wasn't until his funeral that I heard this amazing story.

In a dark fox hole somewhere in the Philippines, my grandfather sat watch with his then best friend. Their job was to peer above the fox hole and follow enemy movement. In the dreary confines of this fox hole they endured something I will never experience. They decided to take turns peering above the fox hole. It was my grandfather's turn, but his best friend told him to sit back down. You see, my grandfather wasn't a tall man and had to jump up or step up on something to see over. As his friend made a joke about his height he stood and took my grandfather's shift, stuck his head above the fox hole, and almost instantly he was shot in the head. He died in my grandfather's arms.

Today my thoughts and prayers are for that man and so many others. I don't know his name but I pray his soul is at peace. He sacrificed everything and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. God Bless all the men, women and their families.

Looking Good!

So far so good with the special election!! Can't wait to sit down with a glass of wine and watch the returns. Virgina is looking like a slam dunk and the polls are closing in NY & NJ!! Come conservatives and independents!!

Great Article

Actions speak louder than words, even if you are a great orator.

Polls for 2012

The Republican nominee for 2012 is ... Huckabee?

Huckabee - lets just have McCain again for 2012. Huckabee is a Southern Baptist preacher from the great state of Arkansas (I am southern so I can be sarcastic here) and I don't care how low Obama's approval rating is - Huckabee is another old white guy that isn't going to beat Obama. Huckabee is a Fair Tax guy and I like that but I don't see him winning the independent voters.

Romney is what we need because of business knowledge. With a struggling economy, what better choice than a successful business man to control spending and create jobs. But I do feel Mass's health care plan will hurt him. It isn't working and the media is going to focus on that. Romney has to start explaining the Mass's health care program before the media explains it for him.

Palin is a rock star in my book. I love strong women. But she resigned as Governor and she needed the experience. I understand the cost was crippling her family, but the liberal media is going to destroy her. Her reputation is damaged.

Gingrich is a brilliant man, but he is from the 1990s. Lets face it - Obama would beat him to. He has to many skeletons in his closet and he is going to be branded as the stereotypical Republican.

I love Rudy Giuliani. Clearly something went wrong during his 2008 campaign. Either it was just poor management or he tried to lose. Rudy also doesn't appeal to the religious right. I wonder what his future plans are...

Is there really not anyone from our party that has a fighting chance?

Obama's approval rating are continuing to drop but Americans have short attention spans. The Liberal media wants 4 more years of Obama. No matter what, 2012 is going to be a close battle. Republicans need to find a star in order to win!!
