The RINO's vs. Tea Party

The Good Ol’Boy group in the Republican party is afraid of Michele Bachman and her challenge to Their boy Romney .
The only way to go after her is to let the media talk up the physical fitness to serve with the Migraine headaches stories. The next way is to bring in more Tea Party candidates to dilute her chances in the primary nomination process.
I just heard from an uncle who played Golf with Rush Limbaugh last week he told Jerry that he and another big hitter just came back from seeing Chris Christie and asking him to run.
The only reason I can see is that if he throws his hat into the ring then Michele Bachman’s surge would be watered down . This move would guarantee Chris Christie and could give Romney his VP Tea Party tie for their vote.
If this is true then we are back to business as usual with the same people and system in place with a new branding but no change . As much as they are trying to convince us that the Democrats are the culprit for why we are in this mess, they are equally as guilty.
Romney is not the answer, and the manipulation of the process can not be left to continue.

Put me in Charge and ...

Put me in charge ...

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of the cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the common good.




Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND, while you are on Government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
