What 2006 Elections Should be About
The 2006 elections will hopefully not be about Asses and Elephants. With luck and voter foresight, it will be an election about the American people's right to a government that solves more problems than it creates. The American people want secure borders, they want a balanced budget, they want job security, they want an end to pork barrel spending. They want an end to the practice of slipping laws that favor a few elites under reams of major legislation.
They want an end to lawmaking for the benefit of the highest bidders. They want the Iraq war to end. They want
their children's education to be the best in the world again. They want their children to pay less taxes than we do now, not more. They want to be assured that tomorrow will be safer, more prosperous, and more peaceful, not less.
If the American people are smart, they will dump a hundred or so incumbents in November and put the fear of the voter back into the hearts of our politicians. Then, and only then, will the American people get a government that solves more problems than it creates. A government that serves the people's needs instead of the politician's.

Voters have forgotten what it was they were supposed to be doing all along.
The longer they fail to remember, the more painful it will be later, and they will only have themselves to thank for it.
After all, voters could vote out all irresponsible incumbent politicians, the ones who failed to do their jobs responsibily.
So, why don't voters remove them? They'd better do it while they still have the right to vote. And, with the millions of illegal aliens voting in our elections, voters had better wake up soon, or they will find out how the American Indian must have felt.
