Michigan’s Politicians Are All Of Same Ilk: Liars and Deceivers. (Michigan Fuel Prices Spiraling Upward Tonight)

After the fuel prices spiked following September 11, 2001’s terrorist attacks Michigan’s politicians thumped on their chests as hard as they could and hollered from the top of the Big Mac (Mackinaw Bridge) that they would go after the fuel price gougers and introduce legislation that would keep this type of decipere from ever happening in the great state of Michigan again. Well, somebody lied. They did not keep those promises.

After the fuel prices spiked following Hurricane Katrina they rumbled loudly once again from the top of the Big Mac (Mackinaw Bridge) that they would investigate the gougers and introduce legislation to prevent this type of flimflamming from ever happening in the great state of Michigan again. They even told us they were going to repeal the gas taxes for a short term to ease the costs for the Michigan consumer. According to their “information” the fuel prices spiked because Michigan gets most of its fuel from the refineries in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia. Well, somebody lied. They did not keep those promises.

Tonight on my way home from work (10:00 pm EST) I noticed that the fuel prices have already jumped from 20 to 40 cents a gallon. Yep, the promises that have been broken are already having an affect on us. I now hear on the radio that the reason our prices are already spiking is because Michigan gets most of its fuel from the refineries in Texas and Hurricane Rita is headed that way with great amounts of damage expected.

Whoa, wait a minute, stop! What? Do our politicians really believe that we, the citizens, the people, and the constituents of this state are really that stupid? They must think that since they are telling us that our fuel mostly comes from Texas and always has. What happened to Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia?

Now the politicians are already making the same promises and it isn’t even Friday morning here. Yet here some of them are on late night radio programs telling us these “facts” and making us these promises. Maybe they think that their broken and lying streams of devious, oral lamentations won’t be heard or remembered on late night radio because the only ones listening are drunks and night owls who won’t remember anything come morning.

It is time for the people of Michigan to quit listening to the politician’s lies and deceptions. It doesn’t matter whether they are Democrat or Republican. It doesn’t matter whether they represent us at the local level, state level, or federal level. They are all liars and deceivers, swindlers, cheats, and con-artists. They all need to be removed from office and the people of Michigan need to make sweeping reforms of the Michigan political system.

We need to take politics away from the politicians who don’t care a stitch about their constituents and put in people who are really concerned about the people. We need to remind the politicians of this simple fact,

You work for the people, the people don’t work for you. We voted you into office, we can either recall you, impeach you, or vote you back out. We are on to you and you had better change if you want to stay in office.

And for the oil companies. How deceptive of you to raise the prices overnight while everyone is sleeping. A new tactic, raise them at night while no one notices. How many politicians do you have in your wallets?

I am an angry, fed up Michigan native and American citizen.

Sheehan Loses Her Marbles.

Idiotic quotes from Cindy Sheehan who has made me realize just how little she knows about Iraq and our military and their uses.

In a dispatch on leftist filmmaker Michael Moore’s website, Sheehan said she was troubled by the “level of the military presence” in the Gulf Coast state.

George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans…

But wait, there’s more…

I saw soldiers walking around in patrols of 7 with their weapons slung on their backs. I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me. Sand bags were removed from private property to make machine gun nests.

Machine gun nests? She really has lost it. Her whole idiotic rant can be found on Michael Moore’s web site. Amid the Miserable Failures on the Same Planet: A Message from Cindy Sheehan

BREAKING NEWS!

Judge Declares Recitation of Pledge of Allegiance Unconstitutional!

This story should be making as big headlines as Katrina if not more. Why are the liberals hiding? Because they know eventually that there will be a big backlash on this when it finally makes the headlines.

I Might Be Just A Tiny Bit Biased.

The decision of President George W. Bush to place a firefighter at the top spot of FEMA is the right choice. Paulison had thirty years as a firefighter and is a former chief of the Miami-Dade Fire/Rescue Department. He managed 1,900 personnel with a $200 million operating budget plus a $70 million capital budget. He also oversaw the Dade County Emergency Management office. He has had proven emergency experience having dealt with Hurricane Andrew.

This is the type of leadership needed to run FEMA. This is the type of leadership that should have been in place before Hurricane Katrina hit. Fire department leaders are effective at this type of position simply because fire departments deal with disasters of varying levels across the country on a daily basis. No other government entity can respond with more manpower and more equipment faster than fire departments.

Fire chiefs are experienced at handling the logistics of disasters. They know what needs to be done to get the job done, how to get the rescources to get the job done, and how to direct and motivate the people working underneath them. Kudos to Bush for a wise decision. Any questions about his background? Check out this letter to him from 1997.

And of course there are those who cannot be made happy no matter what.

“The decision to change leaders over a failed system is no substantial change,” Jesse Jackson said.

Some interesting comments on Katrina and the blame game by Ben Stein in The American Spectator

Off-Topic.

Every so often I have to comment on something that is not political
and really attracts my attention. Earlier it was Apple’s iPod nano,
now for something really different.

While surfing for podcasts in iTunes I came across this really
great program in the podcast section,
The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.
(click on the link to subscribe through iTunes or go to the web
site here.)

This is a funny and family oriented podcast done in the style of
the old radio shows.

Blanco Flip Flops.

From the Washington Post

Blanco defended her state at Houston’s Reliant Center, where many evacuees were sent to shelter, saying: Louisiana had a “well-thought-out exit plan. . . . We did a massive evacuation, and if we hadn’t, we would have had thousands of deaths. Right now, the numbers are minimal when you consider the amount of damage.”

She refused to blame Bush for the slow federal response: “Help in those critical moments was slow in coming, not through any fault of the president.”

I wonder why she is flip-flopping like this? Political opportunist?

This Really Scares Me.

From The Washington Post

John D. Podesta, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and head of a leading Democratic think tank, says Democrats must start by casting Bush’s brand of conservatism — emphasizing an “ownership society” elevating individualism and private enterprise — as fundamentally flawed and hostile to society’s collective responsibility to help citizens, especially the neediest.

Individualism and private enterprise are fundamentally flawed? Individuals and private enterprises donate and help out the neediest more than than the rich do. I haven’t seen any of the Kennedys helping out or donating to those in New Orleans. In fact, they have been rather quiet. Individualism makes us all different and it is one of the things the Constitution protects.

The Democratic party really does want us all to think alike, just like them. And they don’t like private enterprise, which means all enterprise should be government controlled or owned. Don’t they know that Communism doesn’t work? Maybe they should change their name to the Communist Party.
