LOL! I am hoarding gold and silver. Sure not sending Nelson any!!!!!
In defense of Nelson, Socialism (the addiction to government subsidies and control) is overwhelming. Between the loss of military and O promising him extra Medicare benefits for Nebraska, it takes a real strong and principled person to say no.
Heck, most Republicans like Frist, Hastert, DeLay and others sold out to Socialism along the way. The power of “freebies” and “entitlements” is too strong to pass up.
Think of it this way. Our politicos KNOW the whole economy will crash and burn in the next couple of years. Why not jump on the gravy train, line your pockets and your friend’s pockets and then prepare for the explosion?
Now, we wouldn’t do that. But politicians in general are whores and “the people” as reflected by lobbyists, journalists and a sizable chunk of voters, no longer see a problem in giving themselves unlimited entitlements and making someone else (the alleged rich) pay for it?
They are all sell outs. Right down to McCain...if he would have dared to call Obama on half of the lies he was spewing things might be different. He never called Obama out on ANYTHING. I feel that Palin has some of this burden to share. Having said that, she is regretful of giving Obama a pass on all his “misspeaks”. She has admitted to these mistakes and learned from them. I would like to think that this is not a lost cause. That there is something that can be done to save our freedom, but even optomists are hard pressed to find light at the end of this tunnel.
Everybody in DC is a whore.
