The big Fall elections are here and isn't it about time we make some big, really big, changes in Congress ?
First, any incumbent of either party should be carefully scrutinized. The record of Congressional action in improving our economy, international standing, lowered corporate & personal taxes, and energy independence has been miserable. Scandals have poisoned federal agencies into cesspools of crony capitalism, inaction, and downright fraud. Politicians of both parties have catered to the moneyed lobbyists offering them the biggest shot of political gain and personal wealth. It's not so much a democratic or a republican party problem, but more a problem with incumbents. The need for term limits is so damn obvious, but it will never happen because of the self interests of corrupt Congress persons and their puppet masters. Therefore, voters must do what they can to create change. I personally believe that if every incumbent were replaced in 2014 and 2016, the inexperience of rookie congress people would be an improvement over the current crappy leadership in Washington.
Second, is it not a little scary that Hillary Clinton heading for a 2016 Democratic Party coronation has stated that she believes the number one problem in the world is global warming or climate change ? This liberal rallying point flies in the face of reality, and the concerns of Americans in every significant poll. Is it possible Ms. Clinton can bypass her miserable record as Secretary of State and her minimal record as a Senator by appealing to this emotional canard ? As for the Al Gore pool of 97-98% of supporting scientists, I say it's unproven pop science designed to penalize rich nations, empower government overreach, and line the pockets of Mr. Gore and his pals. In world history, practically every learned scientist and the Holy Roman Catholic Church taught and insisted the world was flat, the earth was the center of the universe, and man really did descend from the Garden of Eden. It took hundreds of years of very careful scientific inquiry to disprove these great ancient "truths." It will be centuries before we know the facts of the earths cooling and warming patterns. Nonetheless, with today's world on fire, our economy in decline, and our natural resources either forbidden (coal) or hampered by government dictate, Ms. Clinton offers global whatever as the worlds number one problem ?
Third, here in Virginia we have Senator Mark Warner up for re-election. Although a very bright person and successful businessman, he voted with Obama initiatives about 97% of the time. Also, Senator Warner supported Obamacare. In the next sixty days his democratic machine will spend millions to distance himself from Obama, and dump tons of dirty tricks on his republican opponent. Should Mr. Warner be rewarded for being an Obama pawn by re-election and another six years ?
Whether in Virginia or somewhere else, before you pull the lever or mark your ballot on election day think. Please think, and carefully consider our "State of the Union" and how it has degenerated over the last six years and which politicians are responsible.
