That's Politics Bitch

First, I would like to thank all of you out there who voted for Barack Obama. Because of you government spending will make up 30% of our GDP in 2009 and by 2011 it will make up 40%. For reference, Bush came into office with government spending at 20% and left with it at 23%.

Now you may ask yourself, so what if 40% of out GDP is government spending? Countries whose government spending makes up 40% to 45%of their GDP: Spain, France, and Italy. So again, thank you for believing in "change" and "hope".

Change? Spare some change?

Speaking of change, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid promised that if Democrats controlled Congress they would post any bill online 48 priors to voting on it. And what do you know two bills have been passed and neither was put up 48 prior to being voted upon.

Surely there must have been a reason to get the stimulus bill passed so quickly? Yes there was, Nancy Pelosi had a date with the Pope.

Now don't get me wrong, the Pope is a big deal, but I'd think a call from Nancy explaining the situation would be well received from Pope Benedict.

On a side note I can't believe the Pope is meeting with her considering she is one of the leaders of a party that believes a fetus is a parasite.

Jet-setting

During the campaign Barack Obama promised that he would wait five days until signing a bill. His reasoning was that he wanted to give the American public a chance to review the bill and also meet with its opponents.

Well Barack didn't wait five days to sign the bill but instead waited four. Now one day isn't that big of a deal but he did make a promise.

What really got me going was that instead of meeting with opponents of the bill he was jet-setting to Chicago and Denver. All the while cutting off my parents on their way to dinner.

Unfairness doctrine

There is also word that Democrats want to revive the fairness doctrine. The fairness doctrine would require radio stations to give equal time to liberal and conservative talk.

How this is remotely constitutional I have no idea but what really matters is that they think it should be reinstated. Talk about a bunch of sore winners.

Liberals already control print media and television, do they have to have it all? It was reported that during the last campaign journalists contributed to Democrats at a rate of 90-1. Here's an idea, rather than donating that money to politicians how bout giving it back to your failing newspapers and magazines.

Speaking of magazines, the year prior to the November 4th election Barack Obama was on the cover of Time and Newsweek 26 times, John McCain...5.

Anyways I while I could go on forever, I have recently been liking me some Glenn Beck. Beck was on CNN and how is over at Fox News. Yes I know, horrific Fox News. But he is a libertarian, much like myself, and he recently stated his 9 principles and while I don't completely agree with all of them they do form a solid albeit simple base of principles.
