Freedom Lovers Shouldn't Let Politicians Drive Drunk

Several weeks ago I made several "tweets" on Twitter about the results of some U.S. elections. One thing I find quite striking is how similar the House and Senate majorities elected in 2008 are to those elected in 1992.

Reviewing this brief list also confirms the view of many that big government harms our nation rather than helping it. For instance, consider the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, who also had a Democrat governing majority. During his watch the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Bank were created. And now, the "tweets" of the story: 

>>2008 current House count is 255 Democrats (very similar to 1992 results as some have noted)-Pelosi/Reid will go too far to left and >>2010? about 1 hour ago from web  
  
>>2006 elections result in return of House to Dem control, after a couple years of
Republicans acting like big spending liberals-Reps lost >>way about 1 hour ago from web 

>>1994 elections result in repudiation of big government policies,give Republicans control of House and Senate for first time in 40 years! >>about 1 hour ago from web  
  
>>1992 elections gave Clinton a 258 seat majority in House of Reps and control of
Senate-HillaryHealthcare,Interstate Banking >>Act,stronger CRA about 1 hour ago from web

>>Imagine, people get to keep 72% of income at the highest level rather than 30% - talk about new capital available for economic >>growth! about 1 hour ago from web  
  
>>Why is he known as Ronaldus Magnus? Reagan accomplished what he did even though he
never had a majority of House of Reps. >>Freedom works! about 1 hour ago from web  
  
>>Carter's bumbling also allowed fall of Shah which resulted in Muslim radical control
of Iran,American hostage crisis,high interest,inflation >>about 1 hour ago from web  
  
>>1976 election results gave Carter a 292 seat majority in House of Reps-created Depts
of Education,Energy and C.R.A.,gave away >>Panama Canal about 2 hours ago from web  
  
>>Result of 1964 elections gave Dems 295 seats in House of Reps. Can anyone say War on
Poverty, Medicare/Medicaid,Vietnam War >>escalation? about 2 hours ago from web  
  
>>As result of 1936 elections there were only 88 Republicans in House of Reps! The next
election Republicans gained 81 seats-FDR >>went too far about 2 hours ago from web


There is not space enough to list the behemoths given life by FDR and his long majority in both houses of Congress. Suffice it to say that the depression only became The Great Depression after years of big government programs enacted by those in Washington, D.C. who could not effectively run the government but somehow thought they knew how to run the businesses across the land. 

And what of LBJ and the hapless peanut farmer from Georgia? War On Poverty, Medicare, Departments of Energy and Education.

The Clintons' co-presidency is almost entirely responsible for the mortgage meltdown we now find ourselves in. Attorney General Janet Reno threatened banks with lawsuits if they did not make loans to people who could not possibly repay them. The Interstate Banking Act of 1994, passed while Clinton still had a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, cleared the way for the likes of Lawrence Summers, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Robert Rubin, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, Rahm Emanuel, Kent Conrad, Jim Johnson and a host of other Democrat Wall Street insiders to pillage the markets and then design plans to have taxpayer money fund their shananigans.

History makes clear that liberals and, might I add, their RINO accomplices, easily succumb to the drunken stupor of spending everyone else's money. Freedom loving citizens have as their duty taking away the keys of elected office from these ego-centric miscreants. Friends of freedom do not let politicans drive drunk on the spending of OUR MONEY! Take note, TARP and stimulus bill supporters - rooms are being prepared for you at the detoxification center known as a return to private life. WE THE PEOPLE are declaring 2010 as the year of sobering up. Got it? We're coming to take away the bottle.

No Excuses! 305 Pink Slips To Be Issued On Capitol Hill

We are not buying it! Your lame apologies and excuses will not be accepted. We trusted you with an awesome privilege and you failed, miserably. Don't send us flowers, candy, gifts. How dare you try and serenade us with an ode to stimilus while filling your worthless mouths with all kinds of pork. WE THE PEOPLE are hereby putting all 305 of you arrogant, morally-deficient, condescending gasbags disguised as Senators and Representatives on notice. Your time is up. You've gone too far.

To borrow from a popular maxim: Hell hath no fury like citizens who've been scorned. Let's explain this in words you bloviating, pompous bureaucrats can understand: You work for WE THE PEOPLE. You have no money, no authority, no power, no food on your august political table unless WE THE PEOPLE decide it is meal time, got it? You were elected by citizens not born into royalty. You have no special rights, no immunity, no inheritance, no genealogical pedigree, none. That cup of coffee you drink in your DC office each morning? We pay for that. That meal you eat each day at exclusive cafeterias? We pay for that. That massage you get after your workout at the Senate or House gym? We pay for that. Truth be told, you don't even own the pens that you sign legislation with because we pay for those, too. Oh, and the costs associated with voting all of you sorry excuses for honorable leaders out of office in 2010 and beyond - you got it - we will pay for that, too.

So, 61 pink slips will be issued, the first batch of them next year, to those in the Senate who had the audacity to vote for the pork-filled stimulus bill on February 10, 2009. Now, the names of all who committed this brazen betrayal of the public trust:
 
In the United States Senate:
Inouye (D-HI) - up for reelection in 2010
Reid (D-NV) - up for reelection in 2010
Bayh (D-IN) - up for reelection in 2010
Boxer (D-CA) - up for reelection in 2010
Bennet (D-CO) - replaced Salazar, up for election to a full term in 2010
Burris (D-IL) - replaced Obama, up for election to a full term in 2010
Schumer (D-NY) - up for reelection in 2010
Murray (D-WA) - up for reelection in 2010
Feingold (D-WI) - up for reelection in 2010
Kaufman (D-DE) - replaced Biden, says he will not seek election to a full term
Dorgan (D-ND) - up for reelection in 2010
Dodd (D-CT) - up for reelection in 2010
Leahy (D-VT) - up for reelection in 2010
Milkulski (D-MD) - up for reelection in 2010
Wyden (D-OR) - up for reelection in 2010
Lincoln (D-AR) - up for reelection in 2010
Gilliland (D-NY) - replaced Clinton, up for election to a full term in 2010

View the rest of the list, including the three repulsive Republicans who voted for this pile of excrement here:
 
 
 
In the United States House of Representatives
 
244 pink slips, all in 2010, will be issued to Democrats who rather than doing the job they were elected to do only represent the worst excuses of public servants ever to walk on American soil:

WE THE PEOPLE are a patient, considerate and understanding group but we've had enough. No more Mr. Nice Guy. So, you'll understand if we don't shed a tear when you numbskulls actually have to start paying your own way in life, when you are weaned, kicking and screaming, from the milk we generously provided you with for far too long.
