One of the many mantras in the 'Age of Obamania' is that the Republican Party is the Party of "No."
The left has made a full out habit of twisting the GOP's voting record and the fact that we are attempting to truely make a bipartisan effort to evoke the thirst for change into a facade of rejection.
The GOP did vote a clear and resounding NO to the Stimulus in the House. The left has made it out that we are against helping Americans. The Republican Party did not vote NO to helping Americans, but voted YES to helping Americans by trying to prevent the government from invading our lives further and piling the greatest debt on our shoulders that history has ever known.
It has been over 100 days since the Generational Theft Act passed into legislation and only a tiny fraction of the money has been dished out. Not only did the "shovel ready" jobs never come, but the unemployment rate has soared to an almost 30 year high. The liberals now want a second stimulus, yet only $58 out of $785 billion has been spent from the first. Obama now claims that they didn't have enough information at the time to predict this outcome, yet thousands of experts reported over and over that the stimulus would surely fail, kill the value of the US Dollar and put us at around $3 trillion in National Debt.
So why was the stimulus so critical to push through when Obama didn't have "all the facts"?
Another area that the GOP supposedly votes no to is energy independence. All I hear is DRILL BABY DRILL. Pennsylvania State Legislature Republicans as a way to balance the budget and create jobs wants to buy land to drill here and drill now while Govenor Rendell insists that PA Republicans cannot balance the budget without the tax hikes that he proposes.
When it comes to energy independence, the left says no to drilling, nuclear, coal and wind farms that may obstruct the view of Ted Kennedy's boating excursions.
When it comes to the right to life, conservatives have a clear YES to life. We aren't denying women the freedom of so called "choice" but saying YES to the rescue of innocent lives. (Heaven forbid a woman be "punished with a baby." And that is a quote from our dear leader. I thought he was a family man??)
The list goes on. In every instance where the left attempts to further our debt, grab another dollar out of our pockets to put into the pocket of someone that didn't earn it, turn a cheek to people that break the law, and further disrespect and shred the beautiful document that birthed our country, Conservatives end up the bad guy.
But people are waking up. The Tea Parties have been wildly successful and I have seen signs outside of businesses in my area protesting Governor Rendell's re-election and voting no to Cap and Tax. The more we speak out, the more the media criticizes us. You have to wonder what they are so afraid of when our own President openly makes fun of us for suggesting alternatives.
The fear is rising and it isn't because our representatives (well a select few) are strapping on a set. It is because the People are ready to take back what is rightfully and LEGALLY ours as written and dictated by The US Constitution.
