Republican and Tea Party Candidates Sharpen Their Teeth

Republicans and Tea Party leaders are clammering for positions to win their partys' nominations for the 2012 Presidential election.  As usual, real issues are taking a back seat to social agendas.

In Tony Perkins article, Who social conservatives want for 2012 (a), he writes, "Big government is what happens when family life fractures, when mothers avoid marriage, and fathers flee responsibility. The right candidate will understand that when the family decreases, government increases. Simply put, this candidate will recognize the fact that when the natural family is looked down upon -- we will be forced to look up to big government."

Sad...Sad...Sad...Social Conservatives, mainly Republicans and Tea Party candidates, really want us to believe it's because of family issues?!!!!  Boy!  This statement reeks pure scare tactics, publicly admits what these people think about women's rights and prove they have no clue how to fix this REAL problems facing our nation!  OMG!  GAG! 

Here's the truth:  Government is BIG because the overwhelming majority of voters sit back on their apathetic, non-voting duffs and let KOOKS get into office and almost NEVER hold our elected representatives responsible for making laws in favor of their BUDS!  We ALLOW them to place the needs of this country last!  

Somewhere in our 200+ year history, the wealthy majority has manuevered our system into an almost feudal state where the only people able to run for office are the rich.  The importance of the Constitution and EVERYONE's rights are non-issues.  Compromising for the good of the whole has given way to buttering your benefactor's bread and smut throwing has been honed to an artform.

As America slowly sinks into the same pitfalls of other great nations throughout history, are we going to sit back on our apathetic laurels and allow the stupidity and greed of these wealthy money grubbers to continue driving our great nation into the ground?  I hope not.

Be heard!  Let Washington gurus know we want the basics attended to...Education, Poverty, Jobs, and Healthcare.  Visit your representatives personally, through email, letters, by phone.  Make them earn the ridiculous salaries and benefits WE PAY THEM.  Let them know you are tired of the lopsided system of government we have and their tenacity to pass laws about their personal belief system in a country where everyone is guaranteed the freedom to believe in whatever they choose.  Do it daily.  Be persistent.  The alternative is unacceptable and will lead to the eventual downfall of America...
