Earmarks Rant

Thanks jschm for the lecture, but I'll correctly place my anger where I please. Sure with 50 states and the enormous economy of our great country, of course you can come up with some sound bite examples of bad earmarks, but my point is that WE PAY the taxes and they should benefit US, not the bottomless pit of the corporate culture of corruption.

McCain doesn't seem to mind selling out America with this war of choice--KBR (possibly guilty of electrocuting our beloved soldiers) and Blackwater (mercenaries without proper legal oversight) get the lion’s share of not only OUR tax dollars, but the tax dollars of our great, great grandchildren.

With regards to Social Security; we all know that you Republicans want to justify getting rid of it. What better way than to try to pit the young against those of us who have been faithfully paying our entire lives. If Republicans simply rape all of our national treasure, then they could thrash all of the programs that benefit regular Americans.

It is our money after all. That's what Republicans say all the time. They want us to keep our money, except when it comes to infrastructure, schools, healthcare, or anything that benefits THE CITIZENS that contribute to the limited national treasure. Your ilk are all smoke and mirrors, along with quite a few lies. You benefit from an uneducated and fearful populace. Republicans have been taking, taking, taking and can no longer hide their contemptuous deeds.

Do you think we were not listening when Bush said, "Bring it on!"?

Do you think we were not listening when Cheney said, "So."?

Do you think we were not listening when McCain quipped, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb Iran!"?

Do you think we were not listening when McCain joked about killing Iranians with cigarettes?

Do you think we were not listening when Gramm called us a bunch of whiners?

It's more of the McSame.


The nasty Bush administration has been flipping us off, just like you tried to flip me off. But what you all count on when you send our brave men and women overseas, the American fighting spirit, is exactly why you will lose in November. We're fighting for our country; we want it back. Republican deeds are revealed for all to see.

I know our perspectives are inconvenient to you jschm, but you will not be able to get away from the audacity of truth.
