Mitt Romney - wishy-washy wet blanket
Rick Santorum - Theocrat
Newt Gingrich - Egomaniacal douchebag
Ron Paul - Goofy Libertarian.

Not a great crop to topple (needed) Pres. Obama.

PATRIOT Act - the assault on the Bill of Rights began after the attacks of 9/11

Health care act - wasn't insurance designed to cover against catastrophes? Where do they get the idea that the Commerce clause of the Constitution can force people to enter private contracts to purchase the same?

War on Terror - there are laws against all of terrorist acts already. Almost as bad as the war against drugs.

SOPA/PIPA - freedom of speech online under attack.

Habeus Corpus - 6th and 7th Amendments under attacks in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (story)

Does anyone else think the Obama jobs bill forgot to point out that it is extremely focused on Union type jobs?

What happens when the not-so-"Super Congress" fails to make any cuts?

 This is likely the prevailing theme of the upcoming election.

Just doing my part to contribute to government action.

Just saying.

]]>Former US Senator from Florida a spammer?http://www.floridabeckers.us/cepheus/2011/8/11/former-us-senator-from-florida-a-spammer.htmlKirk2011-08-11T23:08:36ZSenator douchebag spammerFormer US Senator George LeMieux in Florida (or at least his campaign) has really begun to irritate me with his political emails. How can a former Senate critter get on my nerves? Let me see:

1. Send political campaigning email to my mailboxes.
2. Use the email addresses that I had given his Senate office when he was supposed to represent the State of Florida. This occurred when contacting the office on either privacy or credit union related topics.
3. Ignore the multiple unsubscribe requests from said link on email.

That is probably not the way to ingratiate yourself to a potential voter in 2012, especially when I am not a registered to either "major" political party. This is what I would consider "douchebag" behavior and not worthy of a potential US Senator. Clean up your own house before trying to manage (meddle) in people's affairs in the Senate.
