Thoughts.com Blogs - Back in The Saddle Again

Johnny Cash got it right with that song, "Back in the Saddle Again". Last night's New Hampshire Primary echoed that very theme, by selecting two of the oldest faces running for our nation's highest office, John McCain and Hillary Clinton.   So what was the supposed catch-on that everyone adopted from Barack Obama? Granted, were are only talking about one state, but the evidence is clear; the populus didn't really much care for any change.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is really a vote for Bill Clinton yet the New England, Granite state could care less. They are concerned about having someone who they think is going to help bring them jobs.     IF MAINTAINING JOBS WERE THEIR CONCERN, THEY SHOULD CONSIDER MOVING TO A PLACE WHERE YOU WILL SEE MORE THAN TWO SEASONS.

I won't attempt to hide my displeasure of the Clintons, but certainly one would think that after two decades of Clintons and Bushs, change would be the only thing that you should think about. Bill Clinton back in the White House means Bill Clinton running the White House. Worse yet, Bill Clinton being left behind so that he can philander through the Historical rooms.

Barack Obama needs to pull out all stops and fight for that job. He should discuss with all the voters what he meant by change, starting with the complete failure of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Its not a matter of pointing the finger at any specific government official, there is failure from the very bottom to the very top. And yes, that's a hit to my party's top man George Bush. George Bush wasn't the problem, its our entire government structure and Red Tape activities that are the problem.

While I also do not claim to the the oracle of wisdom I have seen the failure of our government for some time and that is exactly what Barack Obama is talking about.   Stop voting the same old faces to win these Primaries and start looking for other people who will bring a real fight for true change. We have to keep the governments hands off of the Social Security monies and stop the outrageous Pork Belly Spending that has been going on by both parties for decades. This irresponsible spending increases the deficit as well, then a democrat wants to get in office and make the tax payers pay again for their irresponsible spending. Yes Barack is wrong to want to raise taxes, and John McCain has always fought Pork Belly Spending. If you don't know what Pork Belly Spending is, that is an indication that you need to improve your knowledge about what's going on in our governemt.

Think about this for example; Employers take Social Security funds from your earnings, unless two things happen. 1.) You're paid in cash, under the table is the term and no claim of taxes is made by your employer and thus you do not participate in the taxation of Social Security. (but it won't stop you from drawing SS when you retire) or 2.) You earn over 97k a year. But you are considered wealthy by the government's standards.    So let's say that the government wants to use money for something; usually for Pork Belly Spending, which of course is voted on by the same people who represent you. But that money is never put back into that lot and the only way they return that money is to raise taxes. Then some dishonest buffoon says that Social Security is going to dry up because there isn't enough people paying into Social Security.

They make it sound as though we have a choice in the matter of paying Social Security, rather than them being irresponsible about our tax dollars. This is the type of change that needs to be looked into and these are the talking points that Barack needs to hit before anyone else hits if he really wants to win.

So, it puts up back in the saddle again. At least, the onset of last nights' Primary seems to be looking like that. Of course its too early to tell because there has only been three states to vote yet, but trends aren't difficult to see.
