One Mans Opinion11/5/2010

It's taken me a couple of days to digest what happened this past Tuesday, but I think I now understand its implications.

The mid-term election was but a warm-up to the big production that is to come, and that’s the 2012 presidential election. With the gains the GOP made this election cycle, they had better do something with the new power… Namely, shut down Obama’s plans to redistribute the wealth and stick it to the American people with Obamacare and Cap and Tax! They need to focus on shutting down the democratic machine and clean their own act up in the process.

The Republican Party needs to rebrand itself once again. This time, they need to remember who brung ‘em to the dance. We the people did, and if they want to continue to hold office they had better do what we want them to do. Otherwise, next time, they will be finding out how the democrats feel to lose big!

The Tea Party has brought new blood into the tired old body of lawyers and career politicians. And those new members should take heed of what we want as well, otherwise they will be returning to civilian life just as quickly as they were elected.

We the people want jobs, economic growth and lower taxes. We want smaller and more responsive government, and we want immigration laws enforced and our military strengthened, not weakened.

We want to end political correctness and bring in commonsense solutions that will repair the system that's currently broken. We want a balanced budget, and term limits too!

But what we really want is for our representatives to hear us and do what "we the people" sent them to Washington D.C. to do… To represent US; not the lobbyists and special interest that currently hold the ears of those elected few. Is it too much to ask or elected officials to listen to the voice of everyday people and do what’s right for the majority of Americans… And not bend over and take it from the fringe groups that have high-priced lobbyists representing them?

The Tea Party and Sarah Palin represent what’s best in America.

The liberals represent what’s wrong with America. They tax and spend and tax some more, and the cycle has to end now!

Otherwise we the people will be watching our country end up in bankruptcy. And then, America will be nothing more than a third-world nation, and that cannot happen!

In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan, “The problem is not that government spends too little. The problem is Americans are taxed too much.”

The Tea Party is just the beginning of what needs to happen in America --- To fix the problems that have been passed on by previous administrations and congresses. The end result will bring us back from the brink of financial collapse, and hopefully make America a stronger nation, and a freer one too.

And if Sarah Palin becomes president in 2012, then maybe that will happen a little faster.

But that’s just my opinion, I could be right!
