Change?

Manassas, Virginia) "Republican congressional leaders have failed their party, they have failed the conservatives who make up their party's base, and they have failed the American people. They should resign immediately," Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said.


"The political party that conservatives have supported with their volunteer work, money, and votes has not supported conservatives. That has to change. The congressional leadership must be replaced with principled conservatives.


"If the congressional leaders refuse to resign, grassroots conservatives should cut off their support - their financial support, and their volunteer support," Viguerie said. "Conservatives should channel their support to principled conservative candidates and to organizations that will promote a conservative agenda.


"Not one cent, and not one minute of volunteer work, should go to the Republican Party until the congressional leadership is replaced with principled conservatives. These leaders still don't understand why the voters have rejected them, and they won't 'get it' until conservatives hit them where it hurts."

Said Viguerie: "In this election, the people did not reject conservatism. They rejected failed, incompetent Big Government Republican leaders. It's time for conservatives to do the same."

The change we need? President-elect Barack Obama has just named Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm to his 17-member economic advisory panel...With her popularity ratings hovering in the mid-30s, respected state political analyst Bill Ballenger has called her “the worst governor in Michigan history.” Obviously, she has much to teach the president of the United States.

Just last year, in the teeth of a gaping budget deficit and galloping unemployment now at 8.7 percent, she raised personal income taxes 17 percent. Her energy legislation passed this year further taxed Michigan ratepayers by hiking their utility bills an estimated 12 percent while gutting Michigan’s energy market deregulation so that major utilities can deal with the coming 10-percent RPS (not to mention modernizing old coal plants in the face of a predicted federal cap-and-trade plan).

Well aaron I readily admit (and have so posted) that I am not an accomplished economist nor have I had much education re economics.

The biggest difference between you and me is I admit to my shortcomings.

And I am willing to learn.

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

The 100 hours of community service will result in a $4000 boost to the student. Here is my prediction: colleges will ramp up tuition by $4000 to accept the check.
