Senator Arlen Specter Hosting Town Hall Meeting
I'm watching Fox News' coverage of a town hall meeting on health care hosted by Senator Arlen Specter. People are upset with more than just the health care. The people are upset with government's decisions that have been made in a vacuum.
In response to a question regarding the writing of bills at a Junior High School reading level, Senator Specter responded by saying, "I'll try."
Americans are tired of hearing those words from our government. The Congress has not listened to the American people for quite some time. TARP, the Stimulus Package and the continued discussion on health care are just examples of the government's failure to listen to the people. A gentleman talked about trust. The American public no longer trusts the government and is growing tired of this.
I have been unemployed for over 8 months and have talked with many people who are actively looking for jobs. The Stimulus bill hasn't done much for me or others. I have had to apply for extension to my unemployment benefits. I have sent out over 800 resume and almost 400 applications. The American people have no confidence in the economy or the government.

In a Tight Spot, Pelosi Calls Health Care Critics 'Un-American' - Political News - FOXNews.com
In a Tight Spot, Pelosi Calls Health Care Critics 'Un-American' - Political News - FOXNews.com
Name calling is something we should be avoiding. I believe that most Americans are upset by Congress' lack of responsiveness to the American people. Most seem content by not listening to their constituents and are acting as puppets or doing what they think is best. I honestly believe that Congress needs to work with the American people to determine what is needed.

AP: Sanford Used State Planes for Personal Trips - Political News - FOXNews.com
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford used state aircraft for personal and political trips, often bringing along his wife and children -- contrary to state law regarding official use, an Associated Press investigation has found.
Ouch! This is going to cost the party in South Carolina dearly. The party that made an issue about morals and holding people to a higher standard is having a mirror placed in front of it.
I sincerely believe the Republican party is doomed if it doesn't change its ways. It needs to be more conservative and less moderate. It needs to work to reduce the size of government. It needs to represent fiscal responsibility and control spending.

Health Care Town Halls Turn Violent in Tampa and St. Louis - Political News - FOXNews.com
Health Care Town Halls Turn Violent in Tampa and St. Louis - Political News - FOXNews.com
I talked with some friends about this. The one thing that stands out in my mind is that the officials elected by the people ARE NOT listening to their constituents.
Health care will be one of the major items on the scorecard for the next election. If something doesn't get done soon, there will be a voter backlash like we have never seen before.

Poster Outrage - FOXNews.com
Poster Outrage - FOXNews.com
I ran across this interesting article about a poster depicted President Obama as the Joker and all of the outrage that has come from it.
Last year, President Bush was depicted as the Joker in Vanity Fair. There was very little outrage. In fact, very little was said by most Republicans and it was taken in stride.
To be quite honest, I really don't appreciate this type of poster of a President. But, I do realize that people are entitled to say what's on their minds. I am a firm believer of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Over the past couple of months, I have had more and more abusive comments about my observations of politics. I have refused to post those that have been extremely abusive and obscene. I have also realized a few that been very good in stimulating debate. I really appreciate those. The best thing we can do as Americans is to openly discuss problems and work to a solution without being mean-spirited.
For those of you who have been submitting your comments in the spirit of intellectual debate, I thank you.
