Give them Control?

The economy is bad but who's to blame? Is George Bush the root of all this terrible home loan business or banks failing? Uh no. Let's look back ten years. The economy was strong, Bill Clinton was our president, and big firms were giving loans to people who were not going to be able to pay them back. Who are they blaming now? That's right George Bush. They are also trying to link the problem to John McCain, a senator who tried to block legislation that would allow companies like Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Sallie Mae, and Freddie Mac to hand out loans like candy in a Memorial Day parade. Now those Democrats who controlled the Senate then and who control it now want to get sixty members in the Senate. They would have almost complete control of the Congress, and would be able to pass legislation without anyone to stop them.

If we are one of those people who believes that this problem stems from events in the last few years then let's not forget that Congress is responsible for the majority of the legislation that effects the country. Who has been in control of Congress since our last midterm election? That's right. The democrats. Now they want complete control? And they think they should be able to get it? Yes and yes. God help us is we give them the majority. For many people, not just conservatives, a Congress run by Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and John Kerry is a scary, scary notion. One party should never have complete control of either branch of Congress and this time in history is a very important one. Let's not let them take over. Let's keep them from gaining too much power.

8 days until the election.
