The Health Care Summit Sham

In Politics on February 25, 2010 at 4:34 pm

I can’t watch anymore of it.  If this is how our Federal Government really works, the problem isn’t health care, it’s Washington!  Any reasonable person out here in the country beyond the beltway should be disgusted by the display today.  What a waste of time and, presumably, tax payer dollars.

Neither party gets it.

Stop with the stories about people back in your constituency.  Everyone has them and, even during this event, admitted to this fact but told their story anyway!  We know there are hardships.  We don’t need to be told, because that is what you are doing – telling us out here that you understand the plight of the common man and trying to convince us of the same.  It doesn’t work. Get over it.

Stop finger pointing.

Actually, let me take it further and make it crystal clear…

STOP!

Just Stop!

Partisanship – They Still Don’t Get It!

In Politics on February 17, 2010 at 11:16 am

Much has been written, spoken and speculated regarding the Scott Brown victory for the senate seat in Massachusetts.  I don’t live in the New England area.  I live in the middle of this great country and I can tell you that from where I sit, the victory was not about one party or another at all. 

It was about one thing and one thing only – Partisanship.

And those of us out here in the middle of the country, and I suspect within both the left and right coasts, are tired of it.

But the politicians and alleged representatives in both parties still don’t get it.

We want the word partisanship and, for that matter, bipartisanship removed from the language of our Congress and political landscape.

We don’t care if one party doesn’t work with the other and we sure don’t care if they work together simply as a means to look like something is getting done.

What we want is for the concept and notion that one party has to have it their way or else become an extinct notion.

We want everyone we elect to represent us to do just that -REPRESENT US!

Put aside the idea that you must march lock step with your party.  Put us and this great country first.

That’s all there is to it.  Put the country first and get the government out of our way.  We have more power to fix this mess than you do.

Do it.

Or we will find someone who will.

Advice for Politicians from the Common People of this Country

In Politics on November 30, 2009 at 8:38 pm

This country is at a pivot point. Will we head down the road of continued disregard for our founding principles or will we steer into the wind toward and return to American exceptionalism?

Those of us out here away from the beltway and not hampered by blinders have a clear understanding of what it means to be an American and to live in the greatest country on Earth.

And if you are a politician anywhere in this country, take heed!  Do not underestimate us.  Do not ignore us.

We do not care about party affiliation.

What we need from you is very simple but apparently very difficult for you to do.

We need straight talk. No spin.  No parsing of what you say.  No double speak.  Just give it to us direct.

We need honesty. No half-truths.  No gray areas.  Just the facts.

We need integrity. No ducking of responsibility.  No hiding.

We need common sense. No fuzzy logic.  No fuzzy math.

We need leadership.  Unflinching.  Clearly defined.

If you can not remember these 5 simple criteria, then just remember this:

We are watching everything you do and everything you say.  If you ignore us, we won’t forget you at election time.

You will experience Change You Can Believe In! The common people of this country will conduct a recall of our defective representatives and put in their place a new breed of elected officials.

Heed our advice.
