It's All About Power

The Democrat party led by Pelosi and Reid are all about power and control. Ever since the 2004 election the Democrats have been working toward one goal only. That is to take complete control of the nation. If they have to destroy America to attain control, they will. Republican legislator’s corruption and abandonment of Republican principals gave them the opportunity get control of the House and almost the Senate in 2006. Ever since then they have neglected all government business and concentrated on demonizing the Bush Administration. They saw their chance to tank the economy with run away mortgages to people who could not afford the exaggerated prices. These mortgages were created due to decades of Democrat effort to allow irresponsible loans.

They are now in a position to push what ever legislation they want and that is exactly what they are doing. All their efforts are to exaggerate the current economic condition so that in two to three years they can take credit for a recovery, regardless of how minimal it will be. The stimulus bill just passed will not stimulate the economy until several years down the line. In the mean time they can continue to blame the current economic mess on the Republicans, as the president is doing every opportunity he gets.

The budget now in congress has provisions to control radio, television, cable, and internet. They are using the drug gang’s activity in Mexico to curtail the sale of guns in the U.S., even though the weapons used by the Mexican gangs all come form China and North Korea. They are even attempting to usurp the sovereignty of the states by bypassing the governor’s office and giving money directly to the cities. Remember the Federal Government gives no gift without major strings. Mr. Reid is prepared to force the states to allow transmission lines from one state to go through another to bring power to a third with no benefit to the state forced to have the lines.

The struggle in Congress is not over what is the best way to bring America out of these dreadful economic times. It is all about absolute power. Remember that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
