The Donkey or “Jackass” is the Perfect Icon for the Democrats

I am an honest to God political neutral as I voted for Bush in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 which makes me probably one of the worst voters in the history of the world, but I voted my conscience and for what I believed was right. As it turned out, they are all crooks and the one thing I learned is we need balance in government, no matter who occupies the Whitehouse. When that balance is out of whack, like we saw when the Republicans had absolute rule and like we see now with Democrats with absolute rule things get ugly, real fast.

Most of all, corruption runs amuck and there is no accountability to anyone. Just look at Senator Dodd, he was guilty as sin and my 5 year old could tell he knew he was getting favors on his mortgages from Countrywide, but not the ethics committee who let him off Scott Free. Now we see the same thing with Representative Rangel who is clearly guilty as sin as well, yet he is still the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, possibly the most powerful committee in all of Washington and the committee that writes tax laws.

Just so you are keeping score at home, we have Timmy Geithner who is Treasury Secretary who “forgot” to pay his taxes, Sen. Dodd who gets sweetheart mortgage deals, campaign contributions from AIG (then let’s them keep their bonuses which he included in the stimulus bill), takes money from Fannie and Freddie while leaving them largely unregulated and so on only to collapse later on. Now we have Rep. Rangel who has spent eons in Congress only to make a small fortune for himself including property in Dominican Republic and some fancy apartment dealings in NYC.

Either these people are the dumbest people in the world, which should scare you because they are leading our country, or they are simply lying to you (more than likely the case) which means they should resign for the good of the public, which would never happen. Either way, how could these people get reelected? What is wrong with people? If this “happened” to you or I and we used the same lame excuse as I forgot or whatever we would be bed mates with Bubba in a heat beat, but not these guys. Nope, there is definitely a two tiered system in place because not only are these guys not in prison, but they still have jobs.

Not only that, but when a vote comes to the floor to remove Rep. Rangel as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee while the investigation is completed the Jackasses, I mean, the Democrats knock defeat the vote. So much for transparency in politics and fighting for the American people and all that other BS Obama fed us during the campaign. We sure as hell know that Pelosi doesn’t care about us, she is trying to impose a VAT, value added tax, to pay for health care, yeah, ever been to Europe? VAT’s are horrible regressive taxes that stifle growth and punish everyone, especially the poor, equally. You don’t even need to go to Europe to see it in action, just go to Canada.

Anyhow, this is just unbelievable to think that these crooks are able to stay in their jobs as if nothing is wrong when they are under investigation. It’s like someone being accused of murder being released by a judge and allowed to have his gun back because it is the only fair thing to do as the investigation is not complete yet, even though the ballistics test already matched. We know their all guilty, but if you are part of the political class, no problem. Enough is enough already, vote them out and for the love of God let’s get some balance back into government (any party will do!).
