the Democratic National Committee

So in the course of seeing who had called while I was sleeping earlier, I took the caller ID back a few days to make sure I hadn't missed anything important, and found several numbers I did not recognize. So as is my standard practice, I "googled" them, and lo and behold, 3 out of 4 are related to the DNC.....kind of funny as I am a registered Republican. Kind of funny as if you know me, I am the furthest thing from everything that the DNC stands for...mainly because I abhore being lied to (that means I can't stand it, for those who don't have a vocabulary).

What I would like now, is since I have these numbers in hand, would be a way to let them know how I really feel about the direction they have taken this country since the Clinton era.....that was the start of a huge downhill slide. Good ol' Clinton, having taken advantage of the economic policies Reagan (gasp, a Republican) put into place, as well as taking advantage of his interns (although Monica couldn't have been so stupid as not to see some advantage for her as well). No wonder Hillary always looked so sour......

Anyway, I digress.......the DNC has pushed its candidates and gotten them elected to create chaos in this country. Most of us live paycheck to paycheck and now that is threatened too. I so love it when it is preached that all these new taxes and laws are for our benefit and "for the children" when they clearly couldn't give a rat's rear end about the children or anyone else.

That's why I am voting for anyone even resembling the Tea Party mantra. I want everyday people in office, people who have been there and done that. Who have struggled to make ends meet, who have lived in the real world. More importantly, as stated by the Jack Ryan character in Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders" novel, I want people in office who don't want to be there...who do not look at the position as their personal way to wealth...who simply want to do the job they are asked by their constituents to do and then go home.

And before one of my oh-so-brave anonymous chain letter style commenters decides to deride me for my naivete.......go back and read the Constitution, and the Federalist papers and so on and so forth by those who founded our country. Yes the evil white men, as our kids seem to be taught these days.....the post of senator and representative were not meant to be lifelong positions.....
