Democrats are showing everyone what is in store if they win the whitehouse, and gain seats in the senate and house. Look at the last 2 years. Let's start with this month. Postal rate increases. This is almost unheard of in an election year. Usually, the party in power is too timid to show who they really are by raising postage rates (another form of taxation) when there is such an important election coming up... particularly when they just raised the rates not that long ago.
And let's look at gas prices. While they haul oil executives up to Capitol Hill to testify as to why energy is so expensive, today the oil companies hit back saying essentially that it is congress's policies that are causing the problem, not the oil companies! HOW TRUE! While everyone finds comfort in blaming big oil for price gouging, if everyone's business was as regulated as the oil industry, we would have an all out revolution.
Democratics have had the majorities in both the house and senate where all the legislation starts, and look at the mess our economy is in. Do we hear this from the press? NO! They are LIARS! Ever since Democrats won in 2004, the economy has gone south. During the first 6 years of the Bush tax cuts, the economy has gone gangbusters. It doesn't take a genius to see that conservative approaches to taxation works, and liberal policies don't.
So imagine if Obama or Clinton win the white house in 2008 and more Democrats are swept into power in both the House and Senate, we are going to be in big trouble. They are promising to raise taxes. Obama has suggested increasing the capital gains taxes. Who does he think creates the jobs in this country? It's the people who earn capital gains! And if they can't use those gains to purchase new equipment, open new businesses and hire employees, who is going to? Oh, I forgot. They will go into the new national health care industry! We are screwed!
Even if McCain can somehow pull out a win, he's as liberal as the day is long. How many Democrats have you talked to who have said they wouldn't mind a McCain presidency? I have talked to quite a few... those who will NOT vote for Senator Clinton no matter what. McCain has bought into the man-made global warming agenda... the same one that won't let us drill for oil. Can you say $10 a gallon for gas?
Someone out there has to have the figures. I am told we now import most of our oil from Canada. Is this oil that they produce or are they buying from somewhere else and then reselling to us? The good news is that oil futures can only go so high. The market will soon reach a price that can no longer be sustained. So all these speculators are going to go bust. Will they ask for government subsidies like the idiots who bought houses on speculation? Seems to me everyone is turning to the government who is only too happy to step in and solve just about any problem that comes along... whether it's their business or not.
Remember, what we have gotten from Nancy Pelosi and her gang for the past 2 years will only get worse once Democrats get more power. Count on it. And you can say you heard it here FIRST! Because you sure as hell won't hear it on the news.
