I just got through watching the Kevin Costner movie "Swing Vote" again.
I like it, despite all them critics that dont, I got entertained and that's what counts.
If you haveen't seen it, do so. Watch it several times.
ESPECIALLY near the end. The part where they are having the debate, opps!! hope I didn't spoil it!!!
...anyway, in Bud's opening statement he talks about how our leaders need to do so. How they need to be giants, in order to carry the burden of office. ....got me to thinkin.....
Why should we elect someone who thinks they are above us?? most all politicianz think they are better than their fellow man. They may not show it...but they think it.
Some are highly educated, wealthy ofttimes both.
Very few are just your "average Joe".
We need, no, SHOULD DEMAND MORE from our elected officials!!
They should carryout the wishes of their constituents. Not the whining of their lobbyist, buddies, corporate interest and other "payer's".
WE The People are the ones who elected them.
We The People should be the recipients, not corporate. They SHOULD make sure that OUR safety and commerce are the precedent.
If they happen to make a bit on the side for it, well that's annuder story.
They SHOULD HAVE TO and are DEMANDED that they fall under the SAME RESTRAINTS and laws that we do!!!!!!
They ARE NOT ABOVE the law. Just because they make and pass them gives them NO exception.
After all....they ARE flesh and blood and bone just like US.......
even if they think theirs is better...........!
politicians, lawyers, insurance salesmen, used car dealers, evangelist---the deadly 5.
plug that oil well with them..........therez more than enuff.

obama-nation...
Found this on Several Blogs..
I AGREE 100% !!!!!!!!!!

Both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He is a one-term President!Why am I doing this?It is because I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America;I do not share his Abortion beliefs;I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to ill egal's than American Citizens who need help;I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tole rated except being intolerant!They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society! They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!Unite behind Obama? Never!I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him.However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for America."=2 0 I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." (Thomas Jefferson)God bless you and God bless our Country!!! (Please, please, please. Pass this on if you agree.)Thanks for your time, be safe. "In God We Trust"'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'I WANT THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE BACK...
I AGREE 100% !!!!!!!!!!

THE FARMER'S GUIDE TO PUBLIC POLICY
SOCIALISM: You have two cows and give one to your neighbor.
COMMUNISM: You have two cows; the government takes both and gives you the milk.
FACISM: You have two cows; the government takes both and sells you the milk.
NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM: You have two cows, the government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.
CAPITALISM: You have two cows: you sell one and buy a bull.
19 Things That It Took Me 50 Years To Learnby Dave Barry
1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6. You should not confuse your career with your life.
7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
10. Never lick a steak knife.
11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
19. Your friends love you anyway.
