You know, now that I think about it. Why do we even need Congress at all? We have State Governments for everything that States need. I think I just hit the nail real hard.

Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It is amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush is *** them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.

People are just duped I guess. But why is that? Obviously we are not stupid. It is because in this example you are of course dead correct. But someone will point out in a post or two something that Bush is slam-dunk guilty of. It is a see-saw. we as a people should not be in the position of determining how is lying and how is telling the truth. We have to discern that prior to deciding the merits of the issue.

A politition that lies, while running for office, should be convicted of a felony. Lying while in office should result in termination. We need a way, other than impeachment, to actually fire these people. Why should I have to live under the likes of Pelosi just because San Francisco loves her? Why should my life be effected by Barney Frank, just because Mass. loves him? And Bush also, why can we not insist on a basic IQ test?

The US Government cannot even govern themselves. How in the heck can we trust them to handle our banks and money? More corrupt CEOs will walk with millions.

It''s getting more and more like "1984" every day.

You see there it is right there. Not the points of the statement - thats different. We do not even know how much it is! Somewhere "between" 11 and 22 Billion. That is the point. We will not know where this 750 Billion ends up.

Part 1

Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following:

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money -not the President.

He has to work with what''s handed to him

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.

12. The National Policy Institute, ''estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.''

Are we THAT stupid?

If this doesn''t bother you, then just delete the message.

If, on the other hand, it raises the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you continue to forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, DC.
