Answers to the Problem
I answered a comment by Jay, and it turned out to be a long winded rant. It is time to take the kids gloves off and try to rid our nation of those who steal from it. I'll share the comment with everyone here on page one.
Hello Jay and other friends,
I really think it is time for all of the citizens to put down our petty differences and take on the task of replacing (completely) the scoundrels in Washington D.C.
It is time to tell them they have reached the limit on their taxpayer credit card.
In the coming months I am going to use this blog to highlight the patriotic and expose the idiotic.
One thing about patriotic, I don't think spending money that the citizens will have to struggle to repay, is patriotic. Waving the red, white and blue while robbing me, is not patriotic. Look, I want us to win the war on Terror, but if when the last terrorist is rounded up, we have a bankrupt nation, and a worthless dollar, that fact will turn our children and children’s children into terrorists, looking for the ones who robbed them. When you pile debt upon a generation, they will look around to see who did it. When they have to struggle just to pay the taxbills for our greed and lust, they will turn on us. Be prepared to fix the problem or pay the price.
And concerning the war, It is time for someone other than America, Britain and a few other nations to pay for the costly war. Let's see? Who could we get to pay the bills? How about Iraq...such a novel idea, Iraq paying the cost of its freedom. As long as the taxpayers here pay for it, the Iraqi people will let us pay. I am sure they will be more than willing to pay the bills from now on, faced with a pullout of troops. America and other nations have shed precious blood for them, and now they can pump a little oil to pay for the bills.
One more thing about the spending orgy in the American Government,
Let's not lay all the blame of the financial mess at the Presidents feet, yet we cannot absolve him completely....he had the veto pen.
And for the next president, we cannot let anyone who has held office while this theft was going on lead our nation. No Senator Hillary, Senator Brownback or Congresswoman Pelosi, Congressman Hastert or anyone else that has helped spend this nation into bankruptcy.
From the individual states, there are a few governors, from both parties, who I would exempt from this ban on elected officials leading in the future. That would be the governors who fought for fiscal responsibility and won the battle. I'll work on the list, I'm sure there are some you could suggest, but it is sure to be a short list.
President Bush recently looked to a person who has never sat on a judicial bench, to become a justice of the Supreme Court. Let's take a page from that same book and elect some nonpolitical servants....yes servants who will serve the people, not rob the people.
But if we exempt someone from the ranks of the thieves to lead us as a nation, we will continue losing.
Does any of this make sense?

Of course if makes sense but that would mean that people would have to have the courage and guts to do it and sadly, I don't think they do. Some of them just want to point fingers and call names like little children.
It would take a people willing to hear the truth from those willing to run for office...and it would take the courage of the people to elect them, rather than vote for the candidate that makes them feel good.
Politics has become like sports. Everybody roots for their favorite team and badmouths the other. Meanwhile, those that are really in control of our government merrily go on sucking the country dry, while the people scrap at each other over petty details.
I've never seen the country more ripe for the rise of a populist third party......or a revolution. I would much rather see the former.
Jay, you described a lot of people, me included, who picked a team and cheered for that team, irregardless.
We need a revival of the wide awake movement.
The wide awake people followed Abe Lincoln around in his debates with Douglas, and admonished the citizens to wake up and pay attention.
The slavery question they said had to be faced, it could be ducked no more.
Today the growth of government into a cannabalistic monster...has to be dealth with, by people putting aside their allegience to their party, and doing what is right for the country.
America really and truely needs a third party.
