GOD HELP US : OBAMA 45%, ROMNEY 45% IN LATEST POLLS

The real telling (and depressing) fact about the current election cycle is not that the true conservatives, the ones who understand America is on the verge of bankruptcy, have been left behind in favor of career politicians who change their stance depending on what they think people want to hear. No, the real indicator of just how close we are to ruin is when the pollsters ask "Obama or Romney, Obama or Gingrich, Obama or ?" Obama is still consistently garnering 45 to 46% of the votes. The closest anyone has come to beating Obama is Romney at 45/45%.

That means that almost half the voters in this country have been..... A: So brainwashed by our liberal educational system that they are incapable of rational thought. B: Already dependant on the government for their upkeep so that they'll vote for anyone who they think will maintain the status quo, i.e. their welfare, housing, medical care, free cell phones, etc. ad nauseum. C. So unaware and ill informed about anything other than the campaign ads they see while watching American Idol, Survivor, or some other moronic TV program that they'll vote for whoever's ad they saw last before they leave to vote.

Do these people think our current situation can continue forever? The government spending two to three times as much as it takes in every year? The truth is most of them don't have a clue about much of anything. And don't care. Unlike Congress, whose members certainly do know the real score, and still don't care if it's going to cost them reelection. I can't even think of words nasty enough to describe our current politicians, both Congress and the President and his "czars".

I ask you : What is the difference between high treason (let's say selling military secrets to foreign enemies) and what our politicians and bureaucrats have been doing for the last 20 years or so???? I swear they have already sold their very souls for wealth and power. We need to get 90% of them out of D.C. Mark my words, four more years of what we've had for the last 3 and America will NEVER recover. They will drive us into forfeiting on our debt. If you think times are tough now, just wait till that happens. Please remember the Congressional races are every bit as important as who the next President will be

Choose wisely,

P.S. Why is it that every single time anyone talks about cutting spending, even Fox News calls Social Security an "entitlement"? And not one single network EVER talks about cutting all the free giveaway programs to those who don't work?

OBAMA 'S JOB CZAR IMMELT MOVES MORE JOBS TO CHINA

Sitting down? Here's more of Obummer's plan to fix our economy. The man he chose to lead his program to "fix" our economy, General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, (see "JEFFREY IMMELT : OBAMA'S JOBS CZAR" post on 10/22/11) has announced GE will be closing it's Xray division plant in Waukesha, Wi. and moving it to Beijing. In addition to moving the plant and the division headquarters, GE will invest $2 Billion in China, train more than 65 engineers, and create 6 research centers. This is on the heels of the news of GE's 2000 job plant expansion in Brazil.

Yes sir, Mr. Obama, you're "fixing" our economy all right. Let's see, gas $1.79 / gallon when you took office. (Remember, he said "we need to get the price of gas up to the level of Europe so people drive less, therefore creating less air pollution") Government debt doubled in 3 years. True unemployment rate around 15 to 17 %. True inflation rate near 10%. Billions in thinly disguised payoffs for your campaign contributors. Yes sir, four more years of your policies will "fix" us for sure. But that's your plan, isn't it? Destroy America, because you hate it.

I would like to remind you all that Congress is just as responsible for the mess we are in as the President. Therefore, the congressional races are just as important as who the next President is.

Choose wisely, our future, your children's futures, depends on it,

HERE WE GO AGAIN, NOTHING CHANGES

The race for the Republican nomination is becoming depressing. Romney takes Iowa and New Hampshire. Proving once again that the average voter today is unaware of anything about the candidates other than what they've seen on the TV advertisements. Proving again that he who garners the most campaign contributions, and therefore can afford the most ads, wins.

Illustrating once more the MAJOR problem with our political system as practiced today. You don't think those huge contributors - personal and corporate - don't expect anything in return for their millions, do you? It's why our tax code is so full of special loopholes, for one thing. Obama has made an art out of rewarding his backers with government (YOUR) money.

I am going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction. If Romney is elected President, don't expect any fundamental change in this situation. In fact, unless Tea Party candidates win the House and Senate by a landslide, I predict we won't see much of a change at all. Oh, they'll make piddling cuts here and there, but definitely not the major spending cuts and policy changes it will take to save our country. 

Lord, help us make wise decisions

CHICAGO POLITICS IN WASHINGTON

Chicago politics, generally recognized as the most corrupt in the nation, are now standard operating procedure in D.C. The man who now occupies our White House is by far the most corrupt politician I can remember in my lifetime. Probably the most corrupt president in our entire history. His history of rewarding campaign contributors with shady deals is only now being discovered, one piece at a time. Solyndra was only the tip of the iceberg, and that one cost us taxpayers over 1/2 billion dollars.

Our current economic malaise was precipitated by several major factors. 1. The federal government, in the person of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, forcing lenders to meet minority lending targets, thereby forcing them to grant mortgages to millions of people who had no chance of making their payments. 2. The greed of shady bankers and stock brokerages "bundling" these "toxic" mortgages and selling them to unsuspecting investors. These were not back street brokerage houses, they were some of the largest, formerly respected, financial institutions in America. George Bush tried several times to shut down the power of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but was thwarted every time by the Democrats, who controlled both the House and Senate at that time.

Here's how Obama rewards the crooks who bear a large part of the responsibility for this mess:

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting
activities. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

Tim Howard - was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard "was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million." Johnson is currently under investigation
for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES?
Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.

TIM HOWARD?
Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.

JIM JOHNSON? Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee.

Need I say any more?

TRUE COST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION : 338 BILLION PER YEAR!

Something else to thank the scumballs in D.C. for. There is only one reason they have allowed this to go on and on for years and years. They want the Hispanic vote. Once again they prove they care nothing for our nation, only their personal greed and power. Look at this list and ask yourself why in God's name would we be doing all this for people who aren't even supposed to be here, who broke our laws to get here? Who drive down YOUR paycheck. Oh yes, it's not just laborers and pickers any more. Check out the software companies for one.

$22 Billion per year for food stamps, WIC (Women in Crisis), and free school lunches.
$2.5 Billion for Medicaid for illegal aliens.
$12 Billion for primary and secondary school education.
$17 Billion for education of American born children of illegals.
$3 Billion per DAY for incarceration of illegals. 30% of ALL federal inmates are illegal aliens.
$90 Billion for welfare and social services.
$200 Billion in suppressed wages for Americans, because they work for next to nothing.
In 2006, the last year figures are available for, illegal aliens sent $45 billion back to their home countries.

The total estimated cost of illegals in this country is $338.3 billion per year! Beware of any Republican presidential candidate who is not in favor of fixing this huge drain on our treasury!

I have urls to verify all the above figures. If you would like that list, please leave your email address in a comment or those who know me personally can email me direct, I will be happy to provide them to you.

Please remember Congress is every bit as important as the President. Educate yourself on the candidates and VOTE!
