Our politicians here Down Under had all forgotten who they stood for.. and that is why, I believe, we had such turmoil in our last election a few months ago. It was a tie, and that dragged on for so long. The public were just so over it all.<br /> I swear, If my nan were alive and she could have run for government I would be sure she would have had everyone's belts so tight they'd be eating once a week, and saving their money and not overspending on good they do not need and looking after all the farmers and local builders and manufacturers ... and she would have the schools run so well and tighten up on so much! Yeah. She would have been a true leader... something that we do not seem to have here right now on this day :(Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-19176922457443472082010-09-26T10:21:40.303-05:002010-09-26T10:21:40.303-05:00I agree with you completely, as you know well know...I agree with you completely, as you know well know. <br /><br />Here's a podcast that takes on Blanche Lincoln -- one of your favorite people today.

If ever in the history of the Republic was the difference in the two parties spelled out so clearly it is this election. Yet the Dems.seem to be afraid to voice it. <br /><br />This final insult by Harry Reid, who is more afraid of losing the election to a bonafide nut case, than in helping the party by bringing the tax bill to a vote is too much. I am sick at heart.<br /><br />Grayquill , I am not so sick that I would go with the ignorant tea party that is funded by the richest men in America and promoted by former Republican lobbyists.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-46251173754066198242010-09-24T08:39:50.161-05:002010-09-24T08:39:50.161-05:00*sigh* i hope there are more people who think this...*sigh* i hope there are more people who think this way than not, sugar! you asked the very same question i did re the tax cuts - bring it to the floor and let the party of no show their true colors! i'm a life long democrat, too and have to believe they will do the right thing. xooxoosavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-40712858080297697072010-09-24T05:56:29.573-05:002010-09-24T05:56:29.573-05:00I too agree we are broken but like you, won't ...I too agree we are broken but like you, won't throw the baby out with the bath water.
