Beware of the Angry Electorate

A note to President Obama and Congress: BEWARE OF THE ANGRY ELECTORATE! Many of the Democratic Representatives and Senators were holding town hall meetings in a number of states in regards to health care. John Dingall (D-MI), Arlen Specter (D-Pa), Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Kathy Castor (D-FL) were just a few. There were protestors at the meetings expressing their frustrations at the elected elite with this health care bill that Congress is trying to pass. Senator Arlen Specter had protesters jeer at him. He said this was the angriest he's ever seen Americans. I read in the USA Today that Specter said that the frustrations the electorate was expressing was not representative of Americans as a whole in regards to overhauling the nation's health care system. Who's he kidding? It is representative of Americans as a whole. Americans are sensing Obama is wasn't what he said he was. Those that voted for Obama bought into his lie for real change in Washington. The only change we're experiencing is a government that's reaching it's tentacles into the fabric of our society. However, the corruption and cronyism are still going strong.

Many Americans were frustratated at the town hall meetings because they were fearful they would lose the coverage many of them already had. That's what most of the protests were about. However, the American people have been showing frustration at Congress and the Presidency for the last several years. The American voter isn't just angry at the Democrats; they're angry at the Republican Party. Ever since the Republican Revolution of 1994 when the Republicans were in charge of Congress for twelve years, there has been frustration with both parties. The Republicans ruled Congress for twelve years and they ran up a huge deficit and increased the size of government. As a result, they were voted out and replaced by the Democrats in 2006. Both parties are controlled by monied interests. Neither party seems overtly patriotic.

If Democrats continue this path toward a Communist state, many of them are going to be turned out into office in 2010. I say that's a high probability. However, if the Republicans take over both houses of Congress next year and they continue the same policies that they did prior to being voted out in 2006, then the Republicans will be voted out in 2012. Americans aren't going to vote Republican so they can continue the same policies that the Democrats are implementing. The "blue dog" Democrats need to break away and distance themselves from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. If they don't, they'll be voted out in next year's Congressional elections.

Both parties are non-responsive to their constituents. The only time do they care about the voter is when it's time to run for re-election. Our Congress who's supposed to represent the American people, represent those special interests that contribute to their political coffers. All this campaign financing by these special elite interests need to be ended immediately. Our elected officials need the ear of the American people and the only way that will happen is for us to speak out and contact our Congressmen as well as all the campaign contributions by the elite interests be ended. We don't need Big oil, multi-national corporations, trial lawyers, and liberal organizations contributing to our politicians. They're the problem. We need to take America back from these progressive politicians.
