what a surprize

I am sitting here on Sunday AM and watching all the political shows and wondering where the change is that the politicians promised. As a life long Republican and a supporter of the conservative view I am shocked and appalled by the "business as usual" that the politicos are displaying. I guess I shouldn't be shocked. As of now, I publicly renounce my affiliation with any political party as they are all seemingly corrupt, greedy, and only are interested in their own well being. They take money from lobbyist to insure they have jobs after they leave Congress, and they take money to say what the corrupt company CEOs and Wall street want them to not say, or say, or do. Can you say Madoff? The bailout of banks who created the mess and have now thumbed their noses at the public by taking taxpayers money and refusing to lend. They want more of the same and business as usual. Congress is just as bad. Did you ever ask yourself why the Congress bailed our AIG and let Lehman collapse? It's because AIG is the manager of the CONGRESSIONAL PENSION FUND. They wanted to be sure to protect themselves. No one bailed us out when we all lost our pensions and 401k stock in the United Airlines bankruptcy a few years ago. And, I'm sure there are 1000s of other examples of little guys like me getting screwed out of our life savings and pensions. My wife and I have been laid off since OCT of 2008 and are struggling to figure out how to keep food on the table and our house. Obviously we are not alone. It appears the rich get richer and the middle class poor go away. It's time to start over and get rid of the entire group. Dodd, Reid, McCain, Pelosi and the rest of Republicans and Democrats need to retire, collect their pensions and get the hell out. There is no substitute for common sense except when something or someone pays you enough money to make common sense go away.
