We Need to Say To Government ENOUGH!

politics, obama, government, arizona, illegals

It seems lately the only thing our Government is interested is their own agenda. They are fighting Arizona over their right to protect their citizens and yet they are not going after States and Cities that call themselves Sanctuary's. Boarder States have a steady flow of illegal immigrants and most of them are criminals. The Drug Lords have snippers to hide in the mountains and spot for them and we aren't suppose to do anything about it. It's a slap in the face to the Immigrants that came to this Country the right way and did the hard work to become American Citizens, How do they feel about just giving illegals everything for nothing!! Lets just suppose another Country like China decides to move in to Texas and take over should we just let them! Well thats what our New Commander in Chief seems to think at least by his actions or should I say inaction.

We need to let this Administration know we have had enough, if we keep voting the same people in office year after year we will get the same results and this isn't just along a Party Lines. We need to start holding them accountable for their actions. Look we voiced our concerns over the spending, the Bailouts and the Health care Bill and yet it was shoved down our throats. When they talk to us it's like they are talking down to us, we are not quite their equals or we are to ignorant to understand whats best for us and they do. Lets start this November, any of our Representatives that have voted along Party Lines and refused to listen to what the Citizens of their States wanted needs to go. Then in 2012 get rid of Obama and his hired Thu tell him to Party on his own dime. We are paying for him to party and live high on the Hog while the rest of us are wondering where we will get the money to pay our bills and feed the kids. He doesn't care about America he only cares about his agenda and making a name for himself. Well I have one for him" It's Called The Worst President in History, That almost Killed Our Country" let the politicians know we won't just sit by anymore and let them take away our Freedoms and Destroy our Country.

So you'll just vote the republicans back in then? Yeah, a great change is coming. (lol)

YOU dont like them, it doesnt mean a great deal of us do. And even though they may not be perfect, the alternative is too much to stomach.

I did not say in this Blog that I would only vote in a Repub. I said "any" Representative that has been if office doing their thing instead of listening to what their constituents want then Vote them out otherwise we will get the same results.

    It really seems that the GOP Congressional portion of the government is only interested in their own agenda at the expense of all Americans. It is definitely time we let them know that their days are numbered.

    I think it's more that they have listened to us shouting at them and maybe just maybe they have learned their lesson. We need some new blood in office , we have to take a chance. I do know that the path we are on now is not good for our Country and will only diminish it the eyes of the world more than it already has.

      I hear a lot of complaining about what you perceive as inaction, I would like to hear some suggestions of what you think he can do.

      BTW, Boarder State Snippers sounds like a great name for a band!

      He made a lot of promises while campaigning that he hasn't lived up to. All the money thats been spent did it really stop the unemployment from going up, and just how many jobs did it create and if you were to divide the # of jobs into the amount of money spent wonder what their pay would have been? Sure he's taken control of a lto but why- it's not to help "us". The bank Reform he he just did, did nothing to Fannie or Freddie and they started our downward spiral. This Reform bill now says that the SEC no longer has to give us information, so we won't know what their doing. We are slowly but surely loosing control of our Government and our Freedom of choice.

          I WILL say Obama is doing a "GREAT" job, let's see; health care for almost all Americans, tax cuts for the small businesses and cuts if they offer health care, more control on the banks that brought us down in the first place, made BP pay for some of the damage they did, more control on what credit cards can do for us consumers, investments on green energy, working hard on helping the economy that was on the verge of bankrupcy when he took office, all this with GOPs screaming anything stupid like "not an American", "Antichrist", "Communist" and other ridiculous claims. I thing and know he is doing a "GREAT" job, he is making all those folks in the Congress work their ass off...! Keep going President!

          OK he took control of our Health Care and the CZAR he's put in charge now will control your treatment. He a big proponent of Rationing, I don't want a bureaucrat to decide it I'll get the treatment my Doctor has prescribed. Do You? He was part of what brought us down, the Dem's. had control the last 4yrs. Did it Help us? The only thing he has really done was to gain more Control of us in every aspect of our lives. Do you really want the IRS to be able to check out your checkbook?? Not Me!

            Wild, You are right on that. Now we found out it's going to cost more and won't cover everyone they said it would. Although it will cover illegals!

              tax cuts for the small businesses and cuts if they offer health care

              You mean penalties if they dont offer. If it is so good why are people being forced to buy it ?

              more control on the banks that brought us down in the first place

              Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not covered under this bill. They were the primary instigators of the fall.

              working hard on helping the economy that was on the verge of bankrupcy

              He has done nothing to help the economy. The stimulus is just a pork package and has done nothing to help unemployment. They were the ones who claimed this would stop the rise of unemployment which it did not. We are borrowing 41 cents for every dollar we spend and that rate will only go up so talk about bankruptcy that is a sure fire way to get there.

              I agree--the US government is going bankrupt in a hurry... but that doesn't seem to stop BHO from spending, spending, spending.

              At some point, it's all gotta end--and it will either end with BHO putting this country in the crapper economically, or with voters saying "enough is enough."

              I hope voters are smart enough to put him out to pasture while they can.

                The latest insanity is the new Obama vehicle the Volt. It is going to cost $41,000 dollars for what a glorified Malibu ? Tell me who will have $41,000 to spend on such a worthless vehicle ? We loaned Government Motors 50 Billion dollars to come up with this ?

                We did exactly what this article suggests, we voted the Republicans out of the majority. We're slowly getting our government back from the Corporations who were sold the rights to our representatives by the Fascist-leaning GOP.

                What are we getting back by borrowing 41 cents for every dollar we spend. Is this what you do at your house ? Go deeper and deeper in debt and believe you are in recovery.

                You'll have to ask the GOP about that, they are the ones who ran up our deficit, after spending the surplus that a "Liberal" President got for us.

                Like I said, I am voting for fiscal responsibility by voting against the GOP.

                Ironlung, everyone keeps forgetting the Democrats had control of the last four years. Obama was part of it.

                  Janie, you assume that we've only been in economic ruin for four years. The GOP have been running the economy into the ground since the late 90s.

                    I think so, if we hold them accountable and Vote them out I think they'll get the Idea. I listened to one of the Dem's that lost their primary, he talked like it was owed to him he said " but I have Seniority, they need me" . Thats the kind of mentality we need to vote out. LOL
