Then along comes Donald Trump. He calls these people names. He says he is going to “Make America Great Again”. He is going to drain the swamp. He tells Hillary, to her face, that “you would be in jail” if we were in charge of the justice system.

A lot of people cheered. A lot more smiled on the inside. A lot of unaffiliated thought “Why not give Trump a chance”. A lot of Democrats thought the same thing, longing for the days of JFK, when the Democratic Party stood for the working man. And that jobs, not bathrooms were the most important thing in their platform. They voted. Trump won.  Now what?

I have read a lot of conservative opinion in the last two weeks. They one thing that scares me is that they all seem to think that the man formally known as “The Donald” is a hard charging conservative, and the second coming of Ronald Reagan. If he is, he has both big shoes to fill and a short time to begin proving it.

Obama has left a long list of things that can be done or undone, with help from Congress. There is the Keystone Pipeline. Rubber stamp that thing on January 21st. The Democrats and unaffiliated will love him because it creates union jobs. The Republicans have been clamoring for it for most of a decade. Win/Win. The environmental will hate him, but he has as much chance of winning their vote as Donna Brazil has of getting a job with The National Review.

Appoint a truly conservative to the vacancy on the Supreme Court. If Democrats in the Senate balk, remind them that the filibuster rule had not only been abused by the Democrats (suspending its use for confirmation of Federal Judges), but is a Senate procedural vehicle, whose wheels can be yanked off with a majority vote.

Suspend the Iran Nuclear Deal. This one maybe more symbolic, as the Iranians had the deal front loaded. But the renewal of US sanctions and a hard line stand with our allies can start putting the pressure back on this terrorist harbor.

Appoint a Congressional Task Force, with both Democrats and Republicans to come up with a plan to replace the disaster which is ObamaCare. Then task Congress to implement it. Our new president is not afraid to call out anyone, and if he gets the American people behind him through his rhetoric and grandstanding, Congress will do his bidding.

A least half keep the promises you made during the election campaign. Deport every illegal alien who is arrested for any crime more serious than drunk driving. Give ICE the manpower to put pressure on sanctuary cities and remind them that the Supreme Court has already ruled that the Federal government, not they, make immigration policy.

Either appoint a prosecutor and go after Hillary, or issue her a pardon. It will kill her political career either way, and that would be the best thing for the country and the worst punishment she could imagine. When the first female president is elected, our country deserves someone better than someone so amoral as to trivialize and lie about, the death her own employees in Libya, attack women abused by her husband, and solicit money for access to our government, all with goal of being able to rule (not govern, to be sure) over all of us.

I am rooting for President Trump. I voted for him, albeit grudgingly, and I am going to keep a careful watch over what he does. I plan to ignore most of what he says, because I doubt the Oval Office comes equipped with a muzzle. But, he has been placed in a unique position in American history. If he is the man he campaigned as, we have a chance. If he is just another egoist using the presidency as the ultimate high, he will be a one term president with an even lower approval rating than Nixon. Then we wait for the next savior, as we slide further down the slope to financial and societal ruin.

God Bless America and God help Donald Trump

John Hickenlooper granted a reprieve from the execution. If ever there was a crime in which the death penalty was appropriate for, this is it. But, Hickenlooper who said he was in favor of the death penalty when he first ran for governor has now apparently changed his mind. Why? It couldn’t be because he was never pro-death penalty, could it? His party isn’t.

It means he has a problem with the rural community of Colorado. One of the many reasons that seven rural Colorado counties threatened to secede and start their own state, is Hickenlooper’s failure to even listen to their concerns. In June 2013 he signed into a law that mandates that rural electric cooperative generate 20% of their electricity from renewable sources like wind and energy. Never mind that those wind farms are also birdie cuisinarts, killing thousands of birds each year, and don’t produce electricity on windless days. Never mind that the production, and the eventual disposal, of solar panels involves all sorts of toxic and really bad for the environment, heavy metals. Never mind that both are a much more expensive means to produce energy, and that we have to pay that extra expense. All that matters is that wind and solar are fashionable in the Democrat community and it must be rammed down the throats of everyone. Why, because that is what the Democrats, John Hickenlooper’s chosen party, want.

It also means that Hickenlooper does not have a problem with illegal immigrants. Under his watch and with his blessing Colorado has become a magnet for illegal immigration. On June 5, 2013, Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 351 that authorizes the state of Colorado to issue drivers licenses to those here illegally. Two months earlier on April 29th, Hickenlooper had signed Senate bill #33 allowing Colorado’s institutes of higher learning to offer in-state tuition to illegal immigrants.

Does this sound like a man committed to inviting or discouraging illegal immigration? The Democrats believe that every illegal alien is a future voter for them. All they need is enough governors, like our incumbent, to provide safe havens for them, while they work in DC to come up with an amnesty plan.

If that, and all the rest, sounds OK to you, then Hick is your man. Me, I think we are heading down the wrong road and we need a new leader in Colorado. I’m voting for Bob Beauprez.

A deeper check of bills that Udall was the major sponsor in all years he has been a Senator has revealed a grand total of three bills that have become law. One of those was to designate the post office in Vail, as the “Gerald R. Ford, Jr. Post Office Building”. Be still my heart.

But rest assured Udall has been voting. Oh, Yes. He voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act; ObamaCare. But even though he trumpeted the “If you like you blah blah blah, you can keep your blah blah blah” Obama lie, and was gung-ho for this poorly thought out abomination, you don’t hear him say a word about it on the campaign trail.

Oh, contraire. Just this year, when a quarter of a million health insurance cancellation notices went out to Colorado families, as a direct result of ObamaCare, Udall had his legislative director call Colorado’s Division of Insurance to pressure them to suppress this fact. So, not only did he vote for it, he is willing to abuse his power as a Senator to insure that voters of Colorado don’t hear how bad it is.

Colorado is a major player in the oil and natural gas industry. Mark Udall wants no part of developing those natural resources. He is on record as being against the Keystone pipeline, on the absurd pretense that it needs more study. They have been studying and debating this pipeline for longer than Udall has been in the Senate. Trust me; he has studied it all that he needs to. Obama told him to vote No, and he will.

Yes, I said it. Udall is an Obama lackey. According to an analysis of Udall’s voting record for 2013, done by the Congressional Quarterly, on issues where our socialist president has taken a stance, Udall has voted to support him 99% of the time. I wonder what the single opposition vote was. Probably the Ford post office in Vail.

So much for Udall’s laughable claim that “I am the senator that the white house fears the most…..”.  Why? Does he have poor table manners? Does he give away the punch lines on jokes? Maybe he laughs like a donkey. Because why would Obama fear a man whose nickname should be The Human Rubberstamp?

Finally, you know, you just know that you are doing a worse job than Chris Christie’s dietitian, when the liberal Denver Post comes out and endorses your conservative opponent, Cory Gardner.  

The post calls Gardner “a rising star”, “someone to be reckoned with” and “whose words carry weight” They say Udall “is not perceived as leader in Washington”

Talking about Mark Uterus’ ad campaign, the Post says “His obnoxious one-issue campaign is an insult to those he seeks to convince.”

Doesn’t this sound exactly like what I have been trying to tell you for a thousand words? 

Mike Coffman? He moved to Aurora at age nine, when his soldier dad was transferred to Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center. Mike attended Aurora Central High School until after his junior year, when he himself joined the Army. He got his high school diploma through the Army, and spent one tour with a mechanized division. He left the Army, but stayed in the reserves. He got his degree from Colorado University, and went into politics, getting elected as State Treasurer. He was re-elected, but did not finish that term. This was because he resigned to join the Marines and fight in Iraq. He served for four years.

During those year when he wasn’t fighting for his country, Mike opened a small business that he operated for seventeen years. Here he learned what it takes to meet a payroll and the obstacles the various government agencies put in the way.

If you are counting, that is 1964 to 2000, with the exception of six years in the military and another year abroad, Mike has been a businessman and resident of the district he represents in the US House. After getting elected to the US House of Representatives, Mike still lives as much as he can in his home in the 6th.

Mike has the endorsements of every mayor in the 6th Colorado District. E-v-e-r-y o-n-e. Aurora’s Steve Hogan, Thornton’s Heidi Williams, Brighton’s Dick McLean, Centennial’s Cathy Noon, Greenwood Village’s Ron Rakowsky, and Littleton’s Phil Cernanec all give their stamp of approval to Mike Coffman.

The National Federation of Independent Business-Colorado, the leading small business association endorses Mike Coffman.

The Colorado Springs Gazette endorses Mike Coffman in this glowing editorial.

Mike Coffman has fought hard for veterans rights, which comes in handy as the 6th Congressional district includes Buckley Air National Guard base.

Who is endorsing Andrew Romanoff? The Aurora Sentinel is. That would be the liberal weekly paper covering Aurora which endorsed John Kerry in 2004, Barrack Obama in 2008, and not being able to see what a lousy job he had done, endorsed Obama again 2012. I see a trend.

Who else? Back in July the Aurora Sentinel published a letter from a large group of Hispanic politicians and community activists. The just of the letter was that they support Romanoff because he supports the Democrat’s Senate version of immigration reform. That boils down to amnesty, after you let it run its course.

Andrew Romanoff would be another Obama rubber-stamping sycophant. He has endorsed ObamaCare and will not give a public opinion on the Keystone pipeline. I think we all know which was he is leaning.

This is not what the country needs, Colorado needs, or the 6th Colorado District (my district) needs. I endorse Mike Coffman, too.  

The people making that million dollars did not get to that point by being dumb. And if they did, they can hire smart people to help shelter that money (legally) from the tax man. The “rich” already shoulder more than their fair share. The top 10% of the federal tax payers already pay 68.3 % of the money brought into the treasury. In 1981 that top 10% only paid 48% or the total revenue taken in by the federal government.

And even if you think the rich should pony up more, it wouldn’t fix the issue. If you took all of their money you still would not bridge the gap between what we take in and what we spend. And you can only take 100% once. The year after, why would they work?

Immigration

Republicans completely understand that America is a nation of immigrants; legal immigrants. Those millions of people who trekked through Ellis Island and other ports of entry, with nothing in their pockets, did it legally. They did not sneak across our border. They came at a time when this country needed cheap physical labor, and in return we offered the freedoms that their home countries did not; jobs (even if they were demanding), the ability to own property and control their destiny. America still offers those things, but times and technology has changed and we need far fewer unskilled people. Most of those unskilled people will end up at least being net tax receivers, if not out right being supported by the tax payers of America, via welfare in one form or another. Republican’s understand that to allow open borders and then a generous welfare system to anyone here illegally means a lower standard of living for the rest of us, as our earnings are taken in the form of taxes to support those who can not support themselves.

Democrats are blessed with economic illiteracy and all they know is that these people deserve to be free, damn the consequences. It doesn’t matter that schools have disciplined children for showing patriotism via an American flag, because it might offend those from another country. It doesn’t matter that with such a large influx of people from one culture we are dividing the country via the language we speak. It doesn’t matter that an open border policy at least gives, if not invites terrorists an easy entry point into our country. It doesn’t matter that rewarding illegal behavior via driver’s licenses, in-state tuition, and even amnesty invites more of that illegal behavior. All that matters is that the Democrats believe these illegal immigrants will vote for them, once they are amnestitized citizens.

Women’s Rights

Democrats believe that abortion should be available on demand and paid for as a right. Democrats believe that contraceptive is a right. Not a god given right, because God is touchy subject with Democrats, but I digress.

Republicans, except for the religious right, think an abortion is a woman’s choice. They also believe that contraceptives should be available to any woman who wants them. Republican’s don’t think that either should be paid for by your neighbor, by force. If your employer chooses to offer a plan that includes either of these, that is their choice. If they don’t, that is their choice, too. Republicans believe that the “right to choose” is not limited to abortion or contraceptive.

Democrats who rail about their opponents stand against woman, the so called “War on Women”, believe that the women voters they target are stupid. They believe that those women won’t notice it is hardly more difficult or expensive to get birth control than it is Sudafed. They believe that those women are ignorant enough to know that Roe v Wade is in absolutely no danger of being overturned and that legal abortion is here to stay. But, when you have nothing else going for you, yell “Fire!” and point at your opponent.

Gun Control

Democrats believe that if they legislate hard enough deaths from guns will disappear. Because Democrats must then also believe that criminals are law abiding citizens, hence completely ignoring the dictionary definition of criminal.

Republicans believe that felons and the mental disturbed should not own a gun. They believe that there should be a back ground check to see if they have been convicted of a felony. They have no idea how you weed out the mental disturbed, but neither do the Democrats, which is why we end up James Holmes and Adam Lanza.  Republicans believe that a good guy with gun is the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun. Then you punish said bad guy with a long prison sentence insuring that he isn’t a problem anymore.

Democrats believe that if they made every gun owner a criminal they can also use the penal system to control the population via intimidation.

I’ve just gotten started and could go own for a few more thousand words and if there is time before the election, I just might. But, know this; on every major issue. Republicans stand on one side, which I generally (but not always) think is the right side. Democrats stand on the other. We have a great divide in this country. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can be said to have caused it. But, most issues out their boil down to money or freedom. Republicans want individuals to control both. Democrats think that the government can do a better job controlling both.

The nice thing is; you get to choose which way we go.

Pick your issue. Pick you side. Pick your party. Vote your party

Bush won by the tally of 2912790 to Gore’s 2912253.  For those of you keeping score, and that would be all of us, Bush won by 537 votes.

There were 8 third party candidates on Florida’s ballot. The most prominent was Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader. The Green Party is, as you might guess, the largest environmental party. These are the people that think the Democrats don’t do enough for the birds, bees, and furry critters. Mr. Nader got 97,488 votes. There is no self respecting Green Party member that is going to vote for a Republican. They might vote for the Democrat, or another third party, but Mr. Bush was going to less Green Party votes than George Strait has rap songs. Without Ralph Nader running in Florida, Al Gore becomes the President of the United States.

How about something closer to home?  Former, and we will get to that in a minute, Colorado State Senator Evie Hudak won reelection in 2012. The score was:

Evie Hudak (Dem)----35,664

Lang Sias (Rep)--------35,080

Lloyd Sweeny (Lib)---5,104

I will concede this is not as cut and dried as Bush/Gore, but without the Libertarian candidate, it is very likely that Sias gets enough of the 5104 third party votes to beat Hudak. He only needed 584, while the relationship is not as strong as Green-Democrat, Libertarians would likely not vote at all, or vote Republican.

During the high profile gun control debate in Colorado during 2013, the most controversial bill was HB 1224 which limited magazine capacity. In Colorado’s Senate the bill passed 18-17. Hudak voted for this bill. Without her vote it does not pass.

In 2014, two of Hudak’s fellow Democratic State Senators were recalled, directly because of their gun control vote. Evie Hudak was targeted for recall, and rather than take the chance that if she was recalled the balance in power in the state senate would flip to the Republicans, she resigned.

All of that because Lloyd Sweeny, who had zero chance of getting elected, drew 6.7% of the votes.

Third party candidate can be spoilers, but except in rare circumstances, can’t be elected. There are no rare or exceptional circumstances in 2014.

Pick your issue. Pick your side. Pick your party. Vote your party.

This ends my public service portion of the series. Next time I explain my position on the Coffman vs. Romanoff contest in Colorado’s 6th District.

The Senate Majority Leader (Democrat Harry Reid) and Speaker of the House (Republican John Boehner) control which bills come up for a vote. If, in their opinion the other side has enough votes to pass it, it won’t be brought up for a vote.

“Why, smarty-pants” you smugly begin “If the party dictates the vote of each of their members and they are in power in that chamber, would the other side have enough votes to pass a bill the party in power did not like?”

Let’s look at a real world example of that very thing; the Keystone Pipeline. One poll shows that about two thirds of Americans are in favor of this. That means that most Senators and Representatives should be voting for this; if they followed their constituents will. So, if this were to come up for a vote, most Senators and most Representatives should vote for it and it would pass. The safe seats would vote for the party line, the “in play” seats would vote the way the majority of the people back home would like, and it would pass. That is what happened in the Republican controlled House of Representatives. The Republican’s want this to pass, so it came up for a vote, and it passed. On to the Senate.

Because the Democrats are the majority in the Senate; they control which bills come up for a vote. The Keystone Pipeline has not, and will not come up for a vote in the Senate as long as there are more Democrats than Republicans.

Why?  Because this is an election year and the Keystone pipeline is a high profile issue. There are several Senators; Democrat, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, for one, who are in close reelection races, AND whose constituents really want the Keystone bill passed. If she votes for it, she probably loses the election. If she doesn’t vote for it, one part of the Democrat coalition is upset with her, and maybe they don’t vote for her, too.

Making this whole thing very difficult is that control of the Senate is in play this year. The Republicans need to recapture six Senate seats. If that happens, Harry Reid no longer calls the shots. He does not want that to happen. So what does he do? Nothing.

If the Keystone bill is not called up for a vote, Mary Landrieu does not have to choose between voting for it, and damaging her party, but strengthening her case back home with the voters, or voting against it, and greatly damaging her chances for reelection (and also damaging the party).

That is how the game is played, both in Washington and at home in your own State legislature. So voting for a person you think is closest to your views is pointless. He or she will be controlled, to very large part, by the leaders of their party. If they don’t tow the line, the party will find someone else.

Two more examples of the party dictating the vote;

ObamaCare passed strictly on party lines. Not a single Republican voted for it. The Democrats needed every single vote they could muster. One of those was Betsy Markey, newly elected Democrat, from Colorado’s 4th district. Polling showed that her constituents were mostly against passage of ObamaCare. So voting for it would anger the folks in her district and risk her being not getting reelected. But, the party was adamant. We need your vote. This is important to the party and you will vote for it. She did. She was defeated in the next election.

Joel Hefley, Republican from the “safe” Colorado District #4 (now the 5th), was strong armed by the party to vote for the Medicare Modernization and Prescription Drug bill in 2002. This was President Bush’s pet project, but it was not universally loved by Republicans in general. Hefley’s constituents were mostly against it. But, Bush needed every Republican vote, and Hefley was also a committee chair (Ethics), so his leadership was important to the bills passage. The party gets (both sides) what the party wants, and even though the bill was not popular with voters back home, Hefley voted it for it. It, like ObamaCare passed.

You may not like the way this works.  I don’t. But, you also have no say in it.

No, I take that back. You do have a say in it. Now that you know the rules of the game, play by them.

Pick the Issue. Pick your side. Pick the Party. Vote your Party.

With one exception; third party candidates. We will talk about them next time.

Yes. What you say it true. We do not deal in absolutes when talking about politics. But, let me give you a short lesson on why an elected Congressman might cross his party. 

In the House of Representatives the vast majority of the seats are held and will continue to be held by a person of just one party. There are maybe 100 seats, out of 435 that are “in play”; meaning that either party can get a person elected to them, come November.. While the others are “safe”, meaning one party’s candidate gets elected year after year.

In Colorado, District #1, held by Democratic Diana DeGette, and District #2 held by Jared Polis are safe Democratic seats. There as so many more Democrats registered to vote in those districts (Denver and Boulder) that no Republican has a chance. DeGette has been there for over 20 years, and before her it was Democrat Pat Schroeder. She was in there for around a quarter of century before she retired. The Senate is much the same way. I would have to get an almanac to find the last Republican senator from California. Oklahoma can be counted on to send two Republicans to the US Senate each time they come up for election. 

But, for Senators or Representatives whose constituents are more evenly split, they can not just follow the party line. If the bill they vote for or against angers the majority of the people back home, they might not get reelected. So politics come into play.

When a vote comes up the leaders of each party do their calculus, and figure out how many votes they have that will not cause political waves. Once the math is done, they see if they have enough votes to pass or defeat the bill in question. If they do, those representatives or senators that reside in “in play” seats are “allowed” to vote against the party line or their conscience (for those that have one). If not, the party leaders start to make decisions on who needs to vote for the bill and who will be not to. 

“Whaaaa?” you say. “Guys like Democrat Harry Reid, who is Senate Majority Leader, or Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, tell them how to vote?”

Yes, naïve voter. That is how it works. It's not as blatant as someone saying "Hey, Joe, vote this way" It will be more like' "Joe, we can really use your support on this" The representative knows that this means to vote the right way or suffer the consequences. Sure you can have mavericks who will vote their conscience or constituent’s will, against the party, but they are few and far between. 


The party leadership could deny them a chairmanship on a committee. That is important to the people back home, because power on a committee equals the ability to get goodies, call “pork” for the folks back home. The party could also deny the incumbent funds out of party coffers, for reelection. Or more likely the party would actually fund a different candidate in the next primary, to get a more pliable candidate elected.

But it is not just on certain bills, which voting for the party that best represents you, comes in to play. Voting for a candidate that is not of your party can effect even IF a bill important to you, comes up for a vote. 

But, that is going to have to wait until next week. 

Pick your issues. Pick a side. Pick a Party. Vote that Party.

3) Fix immigration act of 1965. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act changed American immigration policy from one that let people in based on the country they originated from, to one that allowed people in based on having family already here and supposedly on the skills they could bring. In practice we educated and then ship back to their country of origin, many, many more STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Master and Doctorate graduates than we even offer to keep. Plus illegal immigration, fueled by the as yet unwritten but, likely amnesty  (see 1986) has caused a cultural shift and a strain on southwestern states, trying to educate, medically treat, and sift from the welfare roles those who are not here legally.

I think it was a good idea to stop basing immigration mostly on the country of origin. Especially since it banned certain countries, but allowed many more spots than there were immigrants in several European countries. But, we have enough low skilled labors now. This is not the 1920s when we needed to man the steel mills and other labor hungry industries.

What we need now are doctors, engineers, IT specialist, and so on. Let those with high demand skills, like doctors which are forecasted to be in very short supply, come in as fast as we can check their backgrounds.

4) Make English the official language of the US. This is not a racist idea. It annoys the hell out of me that I even have to say that. Spanish is the official language in over 20 different countries, and is the de facto official language in a few more, like Mexico. Having an official language brings a nation together. It lets people discover that they have much more in common with each other, than they have differences. It also sets a standard. It says if you want to be a Mexican, you better speak Spanish. If you want to be an American, you need to speak English.

A nation with two common languages is constantly in a cultural war with one another. Think of Quebec, in Canada. French and English are the official languages, and they often talk of breaking off from Canada to form a whole new country.

Having a common language includes being able to read it, if you are a citizen. I know that is already supposed to be the case. But if that is really the case, why are ballots offered in so many foreign languages? If your command of English is so poor that you can’t read a ballot, you are too ill-informed to vote.

5) Reform our Guest Worker Program. Until the day when non-work alternatives (two years of unemployment checks, food stamps, ect) don’t out weigh the wages made by actually working for a living, there are going to be jobs that will have constant labor shortages. These are chiefly in agriculture. We have to have not only a better system of getting workers from countries like Mexico who want to work, but also to track them, so they can be sent back home when their contract expires.

These workers should also be given preferential treatment towards becoming citizens, should they desire it. They need to be governed by minimum wage laws, and covered by an employer paid health care plan. Will this raise the cost of food? Yeah, it probably will. But, it will also make these jobs more attractive to Americans and make it more economical to develop mechanized methods of harvest, to actually eliminate these back breaking jobs.

6) Fix the birthright citizen loophole. Flash it is not in the constitution that someone born in the United States of foreign parents is actually an American citizen. Ann Coulter explains this very well here. But, the idea that a woman, 8 ½ months pregnant can come in to America illegally, give birth, and then use that baby to first gain her own legal status, then that of her extended family is ludicrous. It’s like saying because a criminal breaks into your home, he has the right to sit on your couch and decide what you watch on TV, and then he can invite friends to watch, too.

7) Deport all illegal aliens caught committing a crime. Sounds simple , but it doesn’t happen. Most cities will not even check immigration status. Arizona tried to pass a law requiring it, if the circumstances looked suspicious. But, the Obama administration came down on them like a ton of bricks. It ended up in the Supreme Court. Arizona basically lost, meaning that Arizona can ask about their immigration status, but only the federal government gets to say which illegal alien stays and which one goes back to their country of origin. Let’s be compassionate here. If it’s anything more serious than a traffic ticket, like drunk driving or assault, they are deported. If they have a family, we can pay for their transport back home as well. If the family is here legally, they, of course, stay.

8) Five years after the implementation of the above, conditional amnesty can be granted to those persons here illegally. If they have managed to find work, stay out of trouble, they are obviously the kind of people you want around. But, they have to read and speak English, and pass the same citizenship test that other immigrants have to, before becoming a citizen.

There you have it. A comprehensive plan that fixes our illegal immigration problem, reduces our national debt, and add jobs to the economy. The only thing standing in the way, are the Democrats in Congress. And only you can fix that.

George Kaiser, a major Obama supporter, which then went bankrupt causing the loss of almost all of that money?

 

Question #7

WYETUVFO after his administration approved the Fast and Furious gun walking program, which allowed guns to be sold (indirectly) to the Mexican Drug Cartel, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Mexicans, in addition to Border Agent Brian Terry, and then refused to cooperate with Congress in their investigation?

 

Question #8

WYETUVFO after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in terrorist attack at the Benghazi consulate, during which Obama refused to provide aid to those under attack, blamed the attack on a anti-Islamic video, edited the talking points to remove all reference to a terrorist attack, and left the next morning to go party and raise reelection money in Las Vegas?

 

Question #9

WYETUVFO after it was learned that Obama’s Internal Revenue Service had been targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny and harassment during the period leading up to the 2012 election and then blaming it on low level minions acting of their own accord?

 

Question #10

WYETUVFO after is was learned that Obama’s CIA secretly obtained two months worth of the Associated Press’s phone and email records, accused Fox reporter, James Rosen of being a traitor and criminal and then began monitoring his phone and e-mail. In both cases all either press agency had done was report what it had learned from White House sources.

 

Before we get to the grading let me point out that all of the above scandals involve ethics and a disregard for the rule of law and or the constitution. I skipped the moronic Stimulus Program and the budget busting, socialism driven, ObamaCare, because those are basically differences in philosophy.

If you have 5 of more No answers, you are a Brain Dead Liberal. There is no hope for you and I hold you personally responsible for the degradation and ultimate collapse of America.

If you answered No to five or more of these because you were not aware the incident happened, you are a Low Information Voter and need to get with the program. Stop watching The Voice and start watching the news. (Fox News is as close to even reporting as you will get.) You are aiding and abetting the collapse of America. We need your help to stem the tide.

If you answered Yes to six or more there is hope for you. Everyone is entitled to a mistake or two.  Now, just don’t vote for another Democrat and all will be forgiven
