There is no doubt in the minds of most Americans that Congress is not acting in the best interest of we, the People. In fact, the exact opposite is true. They pass useless laws that take more and more of the pay from the People every year and they line their own and their supporter’s pockets. They illegally seek and gain control of federal agencies, fail to act on business in a timely manner per the Constitution, and they force their control and their policies on the People. They cater to minority fringe groups like environmentalists, special interests, and extreme political causes. And the reason they do all this ? It’s all about winning the game folks.
These politicians are, mostly, wealthy, high society types who, after succeeding in business, or becoming bored at spending grandpa’s fortune, saw politics as the next challenge to be faced and conquered. It is all about getting into the game, gaining as much power, influence, and money in as short a time as they can, then use all that to change the lives of the People to your own vision of things. In the case of the Democrats, scoring is achieved by ignoring the Constitution and implementing fear, loathing, and subjugation as our only guaranteed rights. They see we, the People, as comical and stupid. In their minds they detest our belief in ourselves and our arrogance for thinking that they work for us. How dare we, little crawley working scum, even think about telling them how to run their country. Who do we think we are? So, they subject we, the People, to as much humiliation as they can muster, steal our rights, destroy our nation, then retire, taking as large a trainload of our taxes with them as they return to their castles.
As an example of how useless and lowly they believe us to be, consider this: I wrote my district representitive (Jerry Lewis) and both senators (Boxer and Feinstein) identical letters telling them their policies were reponsible for the price of fuel, food, health care, prescription drugs, etc., and insisted they remove all impediments to commerce and do whatever is required to allow the immediate exploration, production, and refining of all domestic petroleum resources posthaste. Guess what their replies were.
Boxer proudly provided me a list of the very same policies and regulations that have shown to be so destructive, bragging that they could have been major "accomplishments" if not for the total mismanagement of the economy by Bush. Yeah, Bush is so stupid he can’t even talk right. Right?
Jerry Lewis, republican representitve from CA, also sent me a triteful note saying he didn’t care much for the windfall profit tax, (how noble) and he would continue advocating anything that would help the People and not be harmful. Huh? Harmful to what? In what way? You mean harmful like carbon? Like oil spill? Like nitrous oxide? Or do you mean safe enough to use daily? Who knows? Not me. And evidently, not Mr. Lewis either.
Ms. Feinstein did not even bother herself with a reply to me, being too busy hosting Ovomit for dinner, I hear.
Not one of my elected congressional representitves addressed the topic of my letter to them. They just scribbled out a couple of worn out campaign promises they wanted me to believe they were still working on, and went on with their game. After all, Pelosi has really grown a big pair of brass ones and will be very hard to catch, must less overtake in the war against we, the People.
