The only lawmaker to speak against the raise was Rep. James Matheson, D-Utah. "We can't afford it, last year's government surpluses are long gone, we are swimming in red ink, we are fighting a war. We shouldn't be asking the taxpayers to pay us more," he said.

Not ONE Republican spoke out against this?

Meanwhile, back at what's left of the ranch, the stock market is tanking, 3 trillion dollars of wealth has evaporated, and all our so called conservative, fiscally responsible Republican House can do is vote to spend more money, on more entitlements (prescription drug bribe for medicare) and give themselves raises.

And they still find time to send me fundraising letters begging me to help them stay in control or else...what? The democrats will spend more? How?

I've gone from being a grassroots GOP supporter and get out the voter type, to opposing ALL the Republicrats and RINOS. Vote all of them out.

Quite nervy, isn't it? Maybe we should send them letters asking for money back to pay our bills.
