Did you vote them into office so that they could pass meaningless resolutions condemning entertainers? Did you vote them into office to give them a bigger stage to criticize Bush’s Iraq policies but do nothing about them? Did you vote them into office to pass bills they know will get vetoed? Did you vote them into office to conduct numerous toothless investigations and politically-motivated hearings? Did you vote them into office so that Nancy Pelosi could become the first female Speaker of the House and then lower herself to the bawdy and disrespectful sexual harassment by some of the women on “The View”?
How well is the Democrat Congress representing you?
I know what some of you Democrats are thinking. “Some of these things are necessary to get the public to see why we need a Democrat President.” Were things really that good when Clinton had a Democrat Congress? You know, when we have that situation it becomes awfully hard for the Democrats to blame Republicans for problems. But I guess if we do get a Democrat President and Congress, the partisans will be blaming all problems on past Republican control, talk radio, “special interests”, and Big Business.
In California, we had a Big Labor Democrat-controlled Governor, legislature, County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, City of L.A. Mayor, and City Council, and the union executives in Los Angeles were still claiming that they didn’t have enough control to get their members their “fare share”. It is never enough. They need more dues money for political campaigns. It's like taxes.
Maybe, just maybe, personal success and happiness is something that is a personal responsibility, not something we should be relying on the government or a union (what amounts to an additional layer of government, complete with taxes) to bestow upon us?
