George W. Bush and Nancy Pelosi?

Are GWB and San Fran Gram Nan in "bed" together?
I am SICK at this whole "bail out" business.
This is the United States of America and we are a free enterprise system.
Yes this is the biggest financial story since the Great Depression, but saddling the taxpayers with $700billion in debt is UNFORGIVABLE. Any Republican that votes for this bailout better beware come election time.

Stupid people bought homes, cars, boats, rv's etc., with money they didn't have and I am supposed to bail them out?
Greedy jerk bank managers knowingly made BAD loans and then took their money and ran, and I am supposed to bail them out?
Financial institutes, caving into the "politically correct" movement in America made loans to minorities who should not have been given those loans out of fear of being "racist" in their lending practices.
Now it all comes crashing down and I am supposed to bail it out?
NO!
I am sorry if you are losing your home, you probably should have thought it out better instead of taking advantage of the market and biting off more than you could chew.
Mr. Bank, sorry you made really STUPID loans, so, close down and go on to something else.
This is not the average tax paying AMERICAN'S FAULT!
Currently according to MSNBC polls of incoming emails and calls, the legislator's are hearing 100-1 that Americans don't want this bailout!
They better listen!
Anything that brings Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and George W. Bush together, can't be a good thing.
GWB is a traitor to Conservatives everywhere. I am ashamed!

Washington D.C. Part One: The Capitol

One of the best days we had in DC was our last day, which included a wonderful tour of the US Capitol. The tour was conducted by Senator Carl Levin's assistant, Nick Standiford. I have linked his blog on my blogroll by the way.

First of all a bit about Nick:

He is a Michigan grad and football fan. He was not too thrilled with the fact that MY Oregon Ducks rolled the Wolverines IN THE BIG HOUSE BABY!

He is also a liberal. BUT, he is a GREAT Liberal! Hey I have many Democrat friends and admire them greatly, and I now add Nick and his Boss to that list. Wonderful people who I had the pleasure of being with for a few hours.

Nick showed us EVERYTHING he possibly could in the 2-3 hours we had before flying out. What a beautiful building. I have put a few pictures into this post to give you a bit of a feel for what we saw, but pictures just don't do it justice.

Nick, thank you again, and please thank Sen. Levin and dear, sweet Jackie for their time and the tour.

PS: some day, Nick, you will have to hear about my dad and our tour :)

Romney Out. There is still Hope!!

Mitt Romney just dropped out. So, that means there is NO Conservative candidate for President.
We are going to have to live with that.
BUT
Do you realize that we still have one third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives to elect. That is where the REAL power lies.
Remember when Bill Clinton was President, we had a majority Republican Congress and we had the most prosperous times in our history.
NO ONE is talking about this part of the 2008 Elections!
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and all the rest of the talk shows are ignoring this, wallowing in their grief over the Presidential candidates.
Friends, WE STILL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
Let's make sure and get out the word, this is not over yet!!
