Millard Filmore 1852! So we can keep Comprising with the Democrats while achieving little in return!
P.S. That is going to be my new Tagline.
I just want to be left alone to make my own way in life without every cent sucked out of me.
Its a scary thing to be middle aged and getting poorer by the second and have no family to rely on as I get older. Its even scarier to know that neither political party has any intent of releasing us from the prison they’ve built.
I’m finished with listening to promises of the great GOP saving me in 4 more years.

Dude, preach it! I’m working for down ticket TEA Party candidates wherever I can support them. I tied myself in knots defending some of the “compassionate conservative” pieces of President Bush; I supported mccain when Sarah came on the ticket. I “came into politics” during Dole. NOW I have this Romeny idiot as my only choice? Screw that. No longer anything GOP here, I’m just a Constitutional Conservative and to all those out there that try and lay that bullshit line on me “not voting for Romney is a vote for Obama”; piss off, party hack.
You cant even take a dump or turn on a “light bulb” without Government interference.
IM SURE THATS HOW THE FOUNDING FATHERS WANTED IT.
I would be happy if there was a general consensus within the population that “more freedom means you need more personal responsibility”.
Instead we (as a society) seem to think that “freedom MEANS freedom FROM responsibility”.
Take the Drug War. There is a reason we HAD to have a constitutional amendment to ban the sale of alcohol because back when it was passed enough people realized that just any old law passed in congress to ban alcohol nationwide would be un-constitutional and thus they had to MAKE IT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION to make it have effect. Of course it even violated the “Spirit of the Constitution” in that it was an Amendment that limited what the citizens could do and not the government like many other “Progressive Amendments passed around the same time”.
Because of the screwball intepretation of the “Commerce Clause” by the seditious FDR surepeme court over the decision of a farmer to raise wheat in the 70’s they were able to justify the “war on drugs” which while “having good intentions” has done a lot to erode the personal liberty of the large percentage of american who do no use drugs in the first place in the name of the “public good”.
I do not think drugs are good, but I think it is the states responsiblity to deal with it and not the federal governments.
I would be happy if we took the what the average person pays to the state government and what they pay to the federal government and “Flip it around” and then split every federal program except the millitary and national security into 50 pieces and hand them back to the states.
Bring the federal government back to what is prescribed in the constitution and only use Federal millitary assets against foreign powers and NEVER use the Federal millitary against ANY United States citizen.
Also make funding the newly limited federal government on a limited tarif of no more than 10%like it used to be in the “good olde days” before there was the horrible class warfare inciting thing called a “federal progressive income tax”.
Then the liberal states can choke on all their wonderful programs while the states with common sense lead the way in growth and prosperity by cutting all they would like.
I would also give back over 95% of the “federal land” in the western states back to the states themselves. (Federal Millitary bases can stay owned by the Fed, or even better reneted from the states by the federal government in some sorta arrangement).
