OT: How congress sold us out to win an election...

Letting you go to the polls has been a farce. I go anyhow. The country is
too divided to function for a common cause anymore. If your children are
of age to fight in this war, your grand children will fight in the next
one. As your father fought in WWII or Korea and grandfather fought WWI or
the Spanish American. Do you see a pattern? Tell your descendants what is
in store for them if you expect it to stop. Place the blame on stupidity.
Good times, bad times follow a similar pattern. Keep the dummies off
balance.

By the way, what is the date for that victory party over Iraq and the
Middle East. I missed the one for Vietnam.

Oh well, I won't buy a new suit for the victory party anyhow.

Just between me and you, it's a bigger story than Congress controls. They
only handle some of the money. Follow the money and who really controls it.
Controls how much is printed and when to stop. What it's worth.

Congress was an ego trip for those involved that makes them fat. Now they
need to be fat first to apply.

That's my take until some one "proves" different. Probibly more proof than
I'll find here.

Most Corrupt Congress In History
With news coming out about the former Presidential candidate Sen Chris
Dodd and other Congressmen and Senators, will this Congress be labeled
the Most Corrupt Congress In History? How far does the corruption go?
With all of the campaign contributions and VIP sweetheart mortgage deals
these people received from Countrywide, Citigroup Inc. and who knows
who, its no wonder the Senators and Congressmen are pushing a sweetheart
bailout plan to save companies like Countrywide.

With the price of oil being manipulated on the commodities market it
makes you wonder just how far the corruption goes. The CFTC admitted
they are ill equipped to carry out a ligitiment investigation of the
market and some investigators stated off record that maybe the Justice
Department should be leading the investigation. The question has risen
just how many public officials have hidden investments in the
commodities market. With the recent floods and the loss of corn, soybean
and other commodities will the speculators drive the prices so high
America will be driven into the worst Recession in modern history?

The State of America today reminds me more and more of the early stages
leading up to the French Revolution. While historic revisionist will
disagree on the exact cause for rebellion, a few things are clear;

1) Only the Elitist and privileged Aristocrats held power 2) A
burdensome national debt was destroying the economy 3) Price of food due
to high taxes led to famine among the peasants and lower class
4) Unemployment among the the poorest jumped to historic levels 5) The
governing powers became out of touch with the common citizen 6) Land and
homes were being taken away due to unemployment and high taxes
7) The government refused to reform and tackle the corruption within the
Monarchy
8) Corruption ran high throughout all of government 9) The privileged
and rich became more privileged and wealthier 10) When people complained
they could not afford the price of bread, the arrogant response from the
Monarchy was "let them eat cake."

Americans will not violently 'storm the Bastille' in Washington, what we
will do is vote the bums out. Our own Declaration of Independence
states:

"... when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Today Americans are desperate for lower prices to feed, clothe and
afford homes for our children. Taxes are too high and we are taxed on
everything we buy or own. The only answer coming from Federal, State and
Local governments is to raise taxes higher and create new ones on
business, which will stifle growth and create higher unemployment.
Democrats in Congress and the Democrat Presidential Candidate are openly
calling for Nationalizing everything from Health Care to Refineries to
Oil Companies, turning America into a Socialist state. The average
American is not stupid. We understand the elitist in government will
look out for themselves before concerning themselves with the lower
class. We understand how greed and power can corrupt every politician
and member of the press. We understand how these same people will sell
their soul for power and money. We also understand how they will do
everything in their power to keep the lower class down and never
relinquish the power they have over us.

This a corrupt do nothing Congress that is intent on bringing this
nation to its knees in order to sway an election and gain more power. At
a time when most of Americans are calling for Congress and the White
House to lift the bans on domestic drilling the government says NO!

This is no longer a government "of the people, by the people, for the
people", instead it is a government "of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for
the wealthy."

It is time we let this Congress know we love our country and our form of
government. We will not allow America to be turned into another Soviet
Union. We are not Venezuela and will not allow Nationalization of free
enterprise in America. We demand a Congress that listens to the will of
the people instead of their own self interest. If the Democrats continue
their refusal to do what is right for America then we have no recourse
but follow in our forefathers footsteps and vote the bums out.

Let me try one more time, perhaps you can clear up your addled mind

1. Harry has been known, and caught in numerous lies here.
2. Harry is also the newsgroup king of political cut and paste
articles.
3. Harry titled the thread "REAL Unemployment Rates"
4. I stated that it's a good thing it was a googled cut and paste,
because we all know Harry wouldn't post anything REAL on his own
(see #1)
5. That would make any SANE person comprehend this just as it was, a
reply stating that Harry lies constantly, so anything he posts that is
REAL must be a googled cut and paste.
6. You are the only one here that doesn't understand that. Does that
tell you anything?

And Tom posts online games. Either be consistent and complain about
everyone's cut & paste jobs, or stop complaining about any of them.

Not to nit-pic but we don't really trust his cut and pastes either, he
has been known for some creative editing there too.

=========


In this particular instance, it would be fun to see someone demonstrate how
he creatively edited a .gov web site.

Try and remember that he began this thread with a subject line and a link to
a .gov web site which supported the subject line completely. The resulting
debate is absurd.

Ask Harry about his lobsta boat. Or, ask him about his 'body hunting'
