Democrats Intent On Raising Taxes

Democrats in the Senate have passed a $600 billion health, education bill. That exceeds the White House's budget by more than $10 billion. It's bills like these that are going to raise taxes on the American people, but that's what the Democrats are all about, socialism (stealing from the successful and redistributing the money).

"The spending hike they are asking for in this one bill, if allowed to continue at the same rate, will cost the American taxpayer $120 billion over the next ten years," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

With Democrats passing these bills, President Bush will have no choice but to veto. I trust that the president will not let this overspending go without a fight. What Democrats are doing could delay the passage of many of the bills to next year, yet the fiscal year has already started. They're going to try to pin it on President Bush, like they did with SCHIP and the Frost kid, but they're not going to fool anyone. Democrats are all about taxing and that's never going to stop.

Another problem in the Senate is the problem with earmarking. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty for this. 1,000 earmarks totaling $562 million are included in this bill. Republican Senator Tom Coburn, of Oklahoma, moved to strip all earmarks from the bill but his measure fell short 68-26. At least we know that have have a true fiscal conservative in Senator Coburn.

I hope that Democrats fail in stealing from the American people and that Republicans sustain the vetoes that we know will come. Thank you for reading and God Bless.

Man, what is wrong with Harry Reid? He tried to take some credit for what Rush did with that illegal letter that he and other Democratic senators sent to him and signed? If you haven't heard or seen the videos they will both be at the end of this post. The first will be the video of Reid taking two words, that Rush Limbaugh said, out of context and condemning them; the second will be a link to the video of Reid thanking Rush and trying to take credit for the money being raised.

Senator Reid realized that his plan had backfired and tried to steal some of the credit from Rush. What he's trying to do is cover up the fact that what they did was wrong and illegal and say that this letter was something great because of what he did. It's great that the money will go to the Marine Corps. Law Enforcement Foundation , but it doesn't take away from the fact that what Reid and other Democratic Senators did, including Hillary Clinton, was wrong and illegal. Rush is fully responsible for the money being raised and Reid is just trying to play politics. It's kind of funny. Here are the videos:

Democrats Make War Harder for Troops?

Democrats in congress want to pass legislation claiming that the the killing of Armenians in WWI was a genocide. Turkey is threating not to let the U.S. use it's country as a main transportation area for much needed equipment for American troops in Iraq if this legislation is passed.

70 percent of all U.S. cargo going to Iraq goes through Turkey, 1/3 of all the fuel for the troops goes through Turkey and 95 percent of the new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles goes through Turkey. This legislation would directly affect our military and make the objective in Iraq harder. Why democrats are so hell bent on America's defeat is unknown to me but it is very unpatriotic. Turkey has told us what they may do so Democrats wanting to pass this for political purposes is sick, selfish and not American. Republicans are not excluded from this, if they vote for this they, also, are responsible for undermining our troops.

We are in a time of war and we should not put our political strategies before our support for the troops that are protecting this country from terrorists around the world. What congress needs to do is starting supporting our troops and quit playing politics at the military's expense. Democrats say that the best way to support our troops is to get them out, but I guaranty you that if you talk to the troops an overwhelming majority will believe in the purpose in Iraq and want congress' support by providing them what they need to do the job. If Democrats really support the troops then they need to listen to them (and not just the few that want out). Thank-you for reading and God Bless.
