You Can't Polish a Turd

My platoon sergeant in the Marines once told me, “You can’t polish a turd. If you try, you just get crap all over yourself.” But that is exactly what Republicans in the Senate are doing with this stimulus bill. They have been set up, and are playing right into the hands of Obama’s cronies. What a shame. The House Republicans got it right. And people wonder why I support term limits for members of the US Senate. Both sides have way too many career politicians.

This bill passed the House without one single Republican voting for it. In fact it was the Democrats who crossed the isle and gave the bi-partisan vote against the thing. But with the strong majority in the House, the Dems won the day and the bill went to the Senate for approval. When the uber-liberals in the Senate got a hold of it, they immediately started adding pork to it. The total of the bill increased from around $800 billion to upwards of $1 trillion in the matter of a few days. And then the Republicans jumped in. They thought they were doing the right thing, or at least they wanted us to think they were doing the right thing. They tore into the bill and started cutting out all of the “wasteful spending.” It’s all wasteful spending if you ask me.

Now, we all know that they weren’t actually going to spend $200 million on a project to put sod on the National Lawn. That, and the other pork, was a carefully planned out plot to draw these yahoos into doing exactly what we see them doing now. The Republicans are going in and cutting out all this junk, but it is still going to pass. The junk was put in there just so they would have something to cut! A couple of RINO Republicans will inevitably end up voting for the thing, and Obama will have the bi-partisan support he has desired. Misdirection is key to achieving the socialist’s goals. To them, the ends always justify the means.

The most liberating day of my life, was the day that I threw off the chains of partisan politics. Since I now consider myself a Constitutionalist, I can be critical of everyone. The Democrats are doing everything they can to destroy the foundation of the Constitution. They will not be happy until they have a socialist democracy like many of the countries of Western Europe. And the Republicans in the Senate are going right along with all this crap. They are handing the Dems our country and our freedom on a silver platter.

I never thought I would hear myself say this, but Ron Paul seems to have the best ideas around when it comes to dealing with our economy. If he had not been so weak on foreign policy, and had stayed off the coffee during the primaries, he might have gotten my vote. I am a conservative. I am what you would call the far far right wing. Hell, I’m more right wing than Ronald Reagan. All of these nitwits in government are way too far to the left for me! The Republicans are polishing this turd of a stimulus bill, and the crap is going to get all over everyone.
