The difference between the political parties

For a long time I kept hearing "there is no difference between the parties" as a defense of why people were not being active in politics, or even not voting. I was doing some work online today and two back to back headlines struck home how wrong that notion is for anyone that still may have it.

The first was "Obama pushes DREAM act (aka amnesty for illegals) as lame duck session priority".
The second was "Republicans approve ban on earmarks".

One party wants to make a whole lot of illegals legal thereby encouraging more illegals to come and further collapse the social programs and health care system that are already bankrupt, the other party wants to stop earmarks and wasteful spending.

Which party appears to be listening to what the voters said on November 2? The Democrats haven't gotten the message yet. It's why they need another historic defeat in the next election as well until they learn that this nation is not Europe and wants nothing to do with their socialism and social experimentation upon the population at the expense of our fiscal future.

The Next Stage

So the elections are over, and there weren't very many surprises nationally (at least not for me). I was a bit appalled over Harry Reid being there still, but when people are convinced they want tyranny they're going to get it. (People wanting tyranny in California is much less surprising). The biggest surprise was the massive turnover in the state legislatures. That is what made this a total wipe out.

Now it's time to hold the feet of the people put into office to the fire and continue to push on for the next round of primaries. I'm also interested to see who declares their candidacy for President, as right now I'm not seeing anybody very appetizing (and the last round of bozos need to stay on the lecture circuit and out of campaigning).

Time to Tune out the Noise

It's time to tune out all the noise from the media and every other outlet and just prepare to get out and vote tomorrow. The polls where I live open at 6am and I plan on being one of the first people there. And I'm not a morning person, and I don't have to get up otherwise before nine or ten if I don't want to. I've been waiting for this day for a year and a half now. I don't have a Senate election here in my state, but just like the rest of you in the country, I have a House race and many other state and local races that need to be voted on. Tomorrow is bigger than the Super Bowl, World Series and any other event you can think of combined. Because it affects our lives in a very real manner. Our freedoms and our bank accounts are at stake here.

So tune out the noise whether one report says the Republicans are going to win a large majority, or the Democrats are making last minute charges. The media, just like anyone else, have their own agenda and they'll report accordingly using whatever spin they can muster in an attempt to get you to do what's in their best interest, instead of what's in your best interest. That worked in 2006 and 2008, but it's not working this year. The people are now awake and seeing what the media's anointed ones have done, and will continue to do to, this country if allowed to.

Let's not even make this close where there will be endless legal challenges and where fraud can determine the outcome. Make it a landslide. Get out and vote.
You vote does count.
