There IS hope!!!!!

As you may have read in prior posts, I have told you how my folks were good card carrying members of unions. My dad has retired and my mom left the union world for the (GASP) management world. That, however, is not why I know there IS hope for us all!

Today, we can have hope because yesterday I got a call from my mom and after beating her up for a few months, she finally conceded to me that maybe, just maybe, the Libs in Congress ARE the problem and that we should not blame everything on W and the Republicans......a word of caution, just because someone wears the jersey of Republican, does NOT necessarily mean that person is a Conservative.

I had told my mom about 3 months ago, that if the President and Congress lifted their respective bans on drilling for American oil, that oil would plummet to the $80 a barrel range, gas would return to $2.75 a gallon and the negative impact that higher gas prices and higher food prices have had on SOME people would be reversed, consumer sentiment would go back up and we'd move more quickly towards a return to economic growth (still pain to be felt in the housing and mortgage industries, but let's face it, things are not the doom and gloom that the Libs in Congress and the Libs in the media want you to believe).

Lo and behold if the President didn't lift the executive ban and a barrel of oil in two weeks has gone from $145 a barrel to it's close at just over $122 per barrel. HUH? WHO KNEW?????

I told my mom that if Congress, especially the Democrats, really and truly cared about the American people, they would lift the congressional ban on drilling today and oil would drop below $100 a barrel and likely all the way down to $80 a barrel....please, before I go further, sit down...this is big.........

My mom AGREED with me!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

If my mom can admit to the evils and selfish behavior of the Dems in Congress, we have reason to hope! When we, as Conservatives, educated people and show them the light, it WILL make sense and they will come to see the fallacy of the liberals.

The Democrats in Congress are the ones that should be impeached. Grandstanding to the American public, telling us how bad things are and how the price of gas is killing the average American family, yet they refuse to overturn the ban and HELP. Why? VOTES. The Democrats want as many Americans as possible to suffer as much as possible in the hopes they can keep control of Congress and get Obama elected as President. Then, they will lift the ban on drilling for American oil and proclaim it as a victory because it was their idea in the first place.

They will do and say ANYTHING for votes. They could care less about you and me and the average American family. All they care about is power.....and it is plainly evident that the power they have now has corrupted them (giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were not already corrupt).

If your Congressional representative is opposed to lifting the drilling ban, you MUST vote for their opponent in November. McCain is gaining in the polls, and if the Republicans play it right all across this country, there is a great chance for them to take not only the White House, but to also get control in Congress.......

Do your part.....vote against the Democrats. And spread the word to your lib friends and relatives.......Democrat politics is BAD for America. Conservative values, lower taxes, reliance on the free market, personal responsibility....these are the things we need to grab hold of and force our elected officials to use as the beacon that guides every facet of every level of government.

And, even more than having hope, you should have faith. Faith that, with knowledge that we can impart, even the liberals amongst us will move to the right as we inform them of the truth.
