I am so sick of the political games.

It takes courage to take a stand.

If not now, when?

I’m with you.

It’s hard to know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. But in politics, it’s never a once and done battle - it’s an ongoing war. if you don’t live to fight another day, the other party wins the war.

Tough decisions.

I voted for Sean Duffy, but was never sold on him. During the campaign in 2010 he was saying the right things, but never seemed to believe them. I always knew with little pressure he would cave.

Nobody seems to correlate the rising debt ceiling with declining jobs.

The rising debt ceiling has two consequences....

more regulation ...

to occupy employees in expanding federal bureaucracies...which expand because “they have more money” and another layer of bureaucrats need their 20 year promotions... Each round of regulatory expansion is the effective equivalent of another targeted tax increase on the object of the regulation.

more taxes...

The rising debt ceiling has demands and expectations of creditors for new elements of “revenue raising” by the Feds...taxes or fees.

In this strangling environment job creation is simply NOT possible.

In fact the only logical conclusion..can be ..is that the Federal apparatus -initially an asset to the United States..by virtue of its abilities to raise an effective Navy in the late 1700’s, and early 1800’s to facilitate overseas trade on behalf of the States, has become nothing other than the States greatest liability at this point in time. In the absence of profound regulatory and taxation reform-which is not capable of coming from the same minds that created the problem..we may well be at the end of the line.

For Obama, the Tea Party fits in Washington like nuns at a swingers’ convention.

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve...

This is why it will take a leader with an optimistic view of the USA, experience with dealing with entrenched bureaucracies, and the willinginess to do something "out of the box" to save the country.

I see that in one Sarah Palin. The day she announces a run for the Presidency, she'll be swamped with so much "grass roots" money that the MSM will be totally amazed at what happened.

Palin is the only person I know of that is willing to take on the Federal bureaucracy to cut down the size of government for real and enact way-overdue reforms to our income tax code to encourage real economic recovery and growth, in my humble opinion.
