The Democrats say they want to bring change to the government. Let us take a look at the last two years that the Democrats have been in charge.

First of all we need to understand that it is the congress, specifically the House of Representatives that have to initiate spending bills not the President. This is something most people do not know and something the Democrats will not tell you. Yes the President can ask a Republican Congressman to submit a spending bill but it takes the rest of the Congress to approve it. The last two years the Democrats have had a majority control of Congress and has had enough votes to stop any spending bill the President has requested. Matter of fact they have had enough votes to pass any bill they wanted and then let the President either sign it or veto it. If he vetoed it they could have then jumped up and down and say look what we tried to do and the President vetoed it. But no they just sat there and complained. Why because even members of their own party could not stand the smell of corruption and partisanship by the leaders of their party.

So in the last two years that the Democrats have been in control of congress what have we seen?

Consumer confidence went from a record high to an all time low. Regular gas went from $2.19 to around $4.00 a gallon. The unemployment rate went from 4.5% to almost 6%. Home mortgage defaults (foreclosures) are a 30 year high. The Dow Jones just over a year ago hit an all time high of 14,000 now it is down below 9,800. Guess what else the approval rate of congress has never been this low in our over two year history (below 12%). That is even worst then that of President Bush. Two years ago the American people wanted change because the Republicans forgot why they went to congress. So the Democrat s said they would do what the Republicans failed to do; that was to cut spending and bring confidence and integrity back. Now what do we have, the biggest financial scandal in years? In 2001 many times since President Bush asked for more oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Democrats in Congress said no not needed. In 2005 when the report came out that Fannie Mae and Freddie were cooking the books The Democrats yelled foul and Democrat Barney Frank said that the Republicans were trying to tarnish two great men and lead the fight to block legislation for more oversight. Turns out these so called great men Raines and Johnson (who are both are democrats) walked away with Millions of dollars in bonuses for running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground and we now find out these same Democrats who supported them received hundreds of thousands dollars each from them, including Senator Obama who in the last four years received almost TWO Hundred Thousand dollars. So now since the Demarcated Congress has done nothing for two years except to try and destroy our economy we want to give them more power? We want to trust them now? To do what, put us in a depression? I am sorry I do not think we can afford any more of their kind of change. So if you as some of my liberal friends and family have said voting for Obama is history in the making and that’s why they are voting for him, we should at lest put the Senate or House in the hands of the Republicans. This way we keep some kind of checks and balances. Now me I have never been for doing something just to make history, I have always thought the Country should come first. What about you!
