Notes from all over by GDA |
Politics are heating up the air as the November
elections draw near. Republicans feel they are going to fare quite
well in those elections since the present administration and their
cohorts in the Senate and House have managed to put this nation
in debt so far that no one can even think of a way to get out
of this mess.
A recent poll has Congress receiving only an 11 percent rating.
That is the lowest any Congress has ever hit.
But wait, what is happening to our president? Remember when George
W. had ratings of around 39 percent? Of course, the main media
couldn't wait to attack him. If he went to his home in Texas,
the media had a fit. If the debt increased a mere $100 billion,
the world was coming to an end. He was at fault for everything,
including the weather. That is all water over the dam now.
Well, a year ago, Pres. Barack Hussein Obama's ratings were down
to 51 percent. That was with a media that could find no wrong.
Now, a year later, after taking something like four vacations
and presiding over a national debt that is completely out of control,
his ratings have dropped 15 points to 36 percent according to
that poll. Obama has been the sweetheart of the media during that
time, too. The media hasn't complained over all of the golf trips
or vacations he has taken. The media hasn't complained about the
mass national debt that B.O. has brought on this great country
of ours. His gala parties that cost millions have not been written
up or even brought out on TV. He has been on a honeymoon with
the press, but that is starting to change.
The media, finally, has started to realize that this administration
is treating them like a bunch of lackeys who will run around licking
their boots. The major papers are tired of losing circulation
because they haven't printed the news. The formerly top three
TV networks are starting to realize they have to be newspeople
if they want people to listen and watch them.
This is all good news for the people of this country and bad news
for politicians who have forgotten that they were elected to represent
the people and not their party bigwigs.
The trouble is, the Democrat machine in D.C. will try and push
through some horrendous bills before they lose power in November.
Then it will take another two years before the Republicans or
Democrats can knock Barack out of the big house on the hill and
hopefully bring power back to the people. This lame-duck Congress
could do some massive changes that would hurt this country and
their party. If they succeed in passing some of their ridiculous
bills, the people could rise up and knock them out of power completely.
These people we elect had better realize the power the people
have. The people have long memories, too.
By the way, I understand that Fox TV received a 78 percent rating
from the people while the press was down in the 20s. This despite
some leaked e-mails from other media people who want the Fox network
taken off the air by the political powers that be.
We do need to flush these incumbents down the drain and bring
in some fresh blood.

With all that mess going on in D.C. and in the big metro areas,
isn't it great to live up here where the political bosses don't
know we exist? Have a good week.
