BoogeyMan
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you are being chased by a boogey man, but your feet won't move and you can't scream? You keep looking back, but no matter how loud you scream or try to run the nightmare is gaining on you. This is the only way I can describe how I feel watching our governments intervention with the economic crisis. Majority of American's are fuming mad, screaming at the government to "RUN!!!" from bailing out Wall Street. But they just won't listen, or budge. What do we do? When do we wake up?
Scrooge vs. Santa
I would much rather have a Scrooge than a Santa for a Presidential Candidate.
Bailout? "Bah, Humbug!"
More funding for entitlements? "Bah, Humbug!"
Tax cuts in a time of outrageous government spending? "Bah, Humbug!?!?!"
We need someone who counts every penny. We need someone who doesn't care about image, or polling. I am tired of listening to both candidates play a pseudo-Santa, promising to drop entitlements, hand-outs, refunds, stimulus packages, down our chimneys, hoping it will make us happy. I don't want a Christmas this year, I want a stable and balanced economy.
McCain or Obama? "Bah, Humbug!"
My apologies for being a little disjointed in my thoughts. I am a tad flustered, and haven't had time to actually collect my thoughts in an organized fashion. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I have had this quote below emailed to me....I have tried to find the accuracy of the quote and source and it isn't clear...Snopes couldn't clarify it either but I think the idea rings true either way. This is where we are....voting ourselves gifts from the treasury. It makes me sick!!
In 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
Please sir, can I have some more!
I totally agree... that's why Romney was my man. I think he could have done it.
Let's hope that if John McCain is elected, he appoints Romney into his cabinet!
I agree with the Bah Humbug idea. The citizens of this country are turning into little spoiled brats. What is it going to take for someone to appreciate what they have and stop trying to find satisfaction in handouts as opposed to hard work and effort. I'm all about helping those who NEED it, but really, it's getting a bit out of control.
