A New Direction?

10-23-06



The new mantra for Congressional and Senatorial Democratic candidates is their insinuation that a "new direction" is needed for the country. They are quite vague about where this new direction is going to lead us. One thing is for sure: They hate Bush. They've made that quite clear. But is there any substance behind their politics?

To predict the future, sometimes we have to look into the past. Lets start a with couple of high profile characters who have graced the stations of the MSM over the past few days.

Nancy Pelosi: Would-be House Speaker

1) Voted against the 'Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act'. This would mean that someone could take your child over state lines to get an abortion without your permission, if Mrs. Pelosi had her way. Regardless of how you feel about abortion, would want someone to legally be able to take your child to another state to get an abortion without notifying you?

2) Voted against the Marriage Penalty Tax bill, which permanently eliminated provisions of the marriage penalty. Is there some reason Mrs. Pelosi wants to punish the married?

3) Voted against the Education Savings Accounts bill, which allows parents to contribute to the education of their children without being penalized for up to $2000 annually.

We could go on and on about how Nancy Pelosi is working against the average American, but for now this should suffice. There are no limits to her ultra-left wing slant on values.

Harold Ford: Congressman and 'would-be' Senator from TN.

Harold Ford graduated from law school in 1996. He never passed the Bar Exam, yet has represented himself in the past as being a lawyer. He went straight into Congress after his graduation. Must be nice to be able to run for Congress and win with no life experience behind you, right?

Harold Ford is from an influential political family in TN and has been riding their coat-tails all the way to his Senate campaign. Numerous members of Ford's family have been tried (or have charges pending) for bank fraud, insurance fraud, and bribery. The Ford family is a political machine whose tentacles know no bounds in the State of TN.

36 year old Harold Ford, Jr. thinks he can represent TN in the United States Senate...having hardly worked a day in his life outside of a political existence molded by his father. Does he know what it's like to be a real person? Or is he just a private-schooled, silver-spooned opportunist? Harold Ford Jr. would taint the U.S. Senate with the Ford Family Corruption that runs in his veins.

Where will Democrats lead the Nation if they take control of the House of Representatives? They will raise taxes, start an impeachment process against the President, gridlock the Federal Government, and generally make life hell for the entire country. There is no "new direction" on the part of the Democrats. They will do what they always do when they are in power: Empower themselves at the expense of working Americans.

The only direction Democrats have planned for the country...is the same old 'Tax and Spend' agenda. That my friends, is not a "new direction".
