Voters are poised to clean house in U.S.

| October 24, 2010 7:00 AM

Thank God the election is only two weeks away for the Democrats, as even one more month would assure the loss of the Senate as well as the House. Americans have had enough of Obama and the liberal-based vision for our country. The majority will clean out the name callers and replace many deluded and politically entrenched incumbents with new candidates who understand what Americas have been saying all along. We want less government intrusion, less spending, fair taxation and a Congress that listens to our voice.

You liberals have had ample time to find a bipartisan position to enact some changes that were needed. You dismissed all conservative input on the way to enacting disastrous legislation, with your bully majority and sneaky tactics, leading to future debt levels never before seen. The diluted healthcare bill, Obama’s keystone accomplishment, will be your headstone. Costs to us for care are already on the rise and, doctors are already refusing Medicare patients. The lies about its cost over the coming years are coming to the surface, 2,700 pages of government power grab and taxes in the name of helping the poor who cannot afford insurance.

Mr. Obama, your arrogance and politically-correct posture, driven by far-left thinking that the American people cannot provide or think for themselves, has undone your congressional stranglehold. Your power to change our country’s landscape to your nanny state vision has ended at the most powerful place in America, the ballot box.
