Well its 11/24/2009 and it appears all the bills Dem’s wanted passed. There is an element bent on destruction of the GOP. It is the far right wing of the party. Their defacto leader(Limbaugh) has called for flushing/purging the party of moderates and rinos, what an ill concieved plan. Limbaugh’s “Ditto Heads, Hannity’s Hannitized, Becks True Believers that buy his daily revelations he delivers as he decends the mountain top, are the sheep following an unsavory lot. Has anyone the clarity of thought to look at the evevolution of this group. Most were DJ’s, druggies, achoholics, draft dodgers and mal adjusted in most aspects of life. A nitch appeared on the political scene and overnight these guys became all-knowing political gurus. The sheep that follow the propoganda spewed daily have become cult like in conversation. From coast to coast they repeat the mantras sent out daily (daily talking points). One can travel across several state lines and the shock jocks are on the topic of the day. Then talk to anyone on the street, the sheep reguritate the same garbage. A party can’t survive operating at this level. Bring on a third party, but it will have to have provisions that keep corporate from corrupting it. Have term limits, send a senator for one 6yr term, house rep for one 6yr term. this would eliminate having to raise funds for the next run, senority, pensions and corruption. We could limit funds any individual could give $100. No corporations, labor unions, pacs or any other groups could contribute. In other words elections would only be finaced by the public( individual). This would eliminate lobbyists. We would have a government of the people. There are too many in both parties that don’t want this to happen.

I think it is TAX CODE FRIDAY for the taxgirl.com blog?
Our country deserves better than what either political party will or can provide. In my circle of friends, “vote all the bums out”, is pretty much the voter battle cry. The last eight years have shown no fiscal responsibility, political “pork” was only a problem when the “elephant” wasn’t in power, etc. Pretty long and nasty list just for the fiscal category.
Fix the tax code is as needed as fixin’ health care, and fixin’ Walter Reed. Why the American taxpayers as a whole have allowed special interest and corporations drive the tax machine continues to dazzle me. It’s about time for a flat tax, or a Singapore style, GST, Goods Services tax. A big change is needed.
