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,
Dumb Farmer
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!

HOW BAD IS THE ECONOMY AND WILL AMERICA SURVIVE?
Just how bad is the economy? Forget what the lying sh**s in our government are putting out to the media. Here are some actual figures compiled by our local paper, the Starke Journal. This past year, 10 local businesses have gone under and closed, making a total of 26 local businesses gone over the last 3 years. The local KOA campground, which 3 and 4 years ago was full all winter, is only at 57% occupancy. Traffic counts on US 301, the main route from anywhere on the U.S. east coast to Florida's Gulf coast, are down 27 to 64 % from '05/06 levels. Remember trickle down economic theory? Well here it is in it's current government induced state : every business that closes hurts the suppliers that business bought from. That supplier has to make staffing cuts to stay afloat. The companies / manufacturers that supplier bought from have to make cuts. More and more unemployed. Remember, Starke is just one small town, this is multiplied thousands of times around the country.
Why do I say this is government induced? What precipitated the housing and banking crisis that started this whole chain of events? It's all politics. Government rules and regulations forcing banks to make loans to people who couldn't ever afford to repay them. (Why? All in the name of diversity)Government "watchdog" agencies that were supposed to police the financial industry in cahoots with the very entities they were supposed to police, actually facilitating the robbery of America. So many government regulations you can't put a swing set up in your back yard without a stinking permit, let alone build something new for a business.
How much longer do you think we will continue to exist as a nation of free men? Considering all the government (federal, state, and local) laws and regulations we have today, are we still really a free nation now? Or has the decades long, gradual, piece by piece, infringement of personal liberty already destroyed that concept?
Why, what personal liberties have we lost, you say? I don't see any difference in my life.
OK, let's start with an easy one : the right to be stupid. Drive without a seatbelt and your government, in the person of a police officer, will issue you a fine if you get caught. Ditto ride a motorcycle without a helmet in some states. Oh well, that's for the common good - the taxpayer has to pay for the medical care of those idiots, so we have the right to take away their right to be stupid. Whoops, who said the taxpayer has to pay for their injuries? I'm sorry bleeding heart do-gooders, that's not my problem. Neither is it my problem to feed, clothe, house and otherwise support the 15 kids you've had while milking the welfare system.
How about the right of free speech? Duh, heard about hate crime laws? That's right, call an African American the n word (unless, of course, you're a black rapper) call a male homosexual the f word, and you could be charged with a hate crime.
How about the right to keep and bear arms? Oh, they are working SO hard behind the scenes to get rid of that one!
Wait one second before you start calling me names. If you're my neighbor, my friend, in my church or community, AND SOMEONE WHO HAS STRUGGLED TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY, but fallen on hard times, I will probably help you out of a jam if I can. But, it is NOT THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT TO FORCE ME TO DO SO.
You CAN do something about this. You DO have a say in whether America stays free or ends up bankrupt like the European socialist countries are. Folks, I know some of you are way more liberal than I am. Some of you who are extremely intelligent think the Obama Plan is the way to go. I ask you to look at just one bit of evidence : socialism/communism DOES NOT WORK. It has not worked anywhere in the world it has been tried. Oh yeah, it will work for a while - until you have more takers than givers. Look at the problems of every single European country. Greece and Spain both would be bankrupt today without international bailouts. The rest of them are not in much better shape. Look at OUR national debt, we are only a very few years away from defaulting. NO ENTITY, BE IT A FAMILY OR A GOVERNMENT, CAN CONTINUE TO SPEND MORE THAN IT TAKES IN FOREVER.
Your vote does count, remember Florida and the hanging chads? YOUR vote could be the vote that swings an election. Your OPINION does count. Since 95% of our current crop of politicians only care about reelection, believe me,even though you may only get a form letter reply, they tally the letters on issues. Do you support our troops? Are you a veteran? Have you put your very life on the line for your country? A true patriot who loves your country and what it has stood for in the past? Remember, many, many thousands have DIED to protect YOUR freedom. Surely you can take a few minutes out of your life to let your voice be heard in our government. The Internet has made it so easy and quick to do that. Click on the link above "contact your Senator or Representative". Let them know what you think. And please, please, know the candidates and their positions before you pull the voting lever.

WHICH PROSTITUTE WILL YOU VOTE FOR????
The GOP primaries are rapidly approaching. And unfortunately, it's beginning to look a lot like previous races, i.e. your choice will be between the lesser of two evils.
The two current front runners, Romney and Gingrich, are just different sides of the same coin. Career politicians who have flip-flopped on so many issues over the years we really have NO idea of what they will actually do if elected. In other words, they are not only liars, but prostitutes. They will say anything they think will get them votes. Neither one is a true conservative. Both have favored harsh gun control laws, of course trying to hide that now. Romney pushed hard for Massachusetts version of Obamacare, and now says he favors repealing Obamacare. Gingrich took millions of dollars from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to lobby for them so the big bankers can continue their legal robbery of America. He says this was "consulting fees".
Rick Perry is also a wolf in sheep's clothing. An examination of his tenure as Texas governor shows how he says one thing and does the opposite. Another typical politician.
Ron Paul is too radical to ever garner enough votes in the general election to defeat Obama's 46% of people on the government dole that will always vote for whoever promises to keep their freebies coming.
Which leaves Michelle Bachman, who I like, but has made so many ill-informed statements I wonder if she is intellectually qualified to be POTUS, and Rick Santorum. Santorum has consistently been a true conservative, and seems to have a good grasp of the issues.
Right now, my choice would have to be Santorum. Unfortunately, he is way down on the list of poll favorites.
God help us make wise choices in these elections,
