Old Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Of course we all have heard the old saw, “Out of the frying pan and into the fire.” Right? Well, this is the juncture where we are now. At a critical crossroads.

So, if you think it’s bad now in your part of the USA, just you wait. Sure the economy is not good now. But if we change management in Washington in November 2012, you and I will experience the slogan, from the frying pan into the fire.” In other words, going from bad to worse. If you didn’t like what the Obama administration had done just try to imagine what will happen if Rick Perry and his guys take over.

Goodbye Social Security. Goodbye Medicare. Goodbye to any semblance of health care. Goodbye jobs. Goodbye unemployment insurance. Goodbye quality public education. Goodbye to collective bargaining. And, goodbye to any assistance the federal government can offer. Plus goodbye to any protective regulations. Consumer bewares. Good air and water quality, good-bye. No more minimum wage guarantee. Goodbye to any assurance of a quality and long lasting career.


Hello to your all-new confederacy. Hello to another Civil War. War between the states. Hello to a religious dominated government. Hello to loss of personal rights. Goodbye to immigration. And, hello to a work force made of single moms and unemployable military vets. And, hello to an administration that has no discernable job plan. Just wait and wait for trickle down. Cool huh?

So, do you want the all-new Perry administration, which is totally in the fire? Or, retain Obama who is struggling to climb out of the frying pan? You can either help Obama on this road to recovery or jump head first in to the hellish fires of the Perry debacle. It’s your choice.

Making sense of it all.

Each time I listen to or hear about another Republican debate, I scratch my head and wonder. I keep asking myself will sensibility ever return to the campaign and voting process in America.  Will truly qualified candidates ever come back to the table and enter the debate?  Well, the prospect looks dim.  Hope is fading fast.

Of course, this time the whole process has been tossed on it’s ear.  Shifting the debate and focus on Rick Perry’s entrance into the Republican scrimmage.  Shifting far right ideology further to the right and drawing all the other candidates along with him.  Sort of like a Texas tornado gathering debris and tossing it over the landscape.  Mostly moving more towards civil war and creating a confederacy.

Nonetheless, I am most concerned because I use to be a Republican.  But in later years since Ronald Reagan, my party abandoned me.  Leaving me in the middle.  Consequently leaving me in the hands of Independent mongers.  People of extreme logic and rationality. 

So I roam through the wilderness searching for who or what to identify with.  Certainly not the right.  And, certainly not the left.  Thus leaving me to decide for myself and Making my own decisions.  Forcing me to study the real issues independently and away from partisan spin and hyperbole.  Well you know ladies and gentlemen, it seems to be working out okay this way.  You should try it.
