From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury"]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It has come to pass that this situation, this election cycle, is not going the way I would like it to. I understand the problems we are facing in America; lack of jobs, lowers wages, reduced sales, a general uncomfortable feeling when it comes to the future. And that gnawing feeling that something big is going to happen in the Middle East is always on our minds. I would have thought that every American would feel the same way I do.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     Why would we re-elect Barak Obama? Why would the good people of Nevada re-elect a moron like Harry Reid when the president all by destroyed Las Vegas? Why would we re-elect Barak Obama when he promised to close Camp Gitmo and didn’t understand it to begin with and could never get that done. Why would we re-elect Barak Obama with so many people out of work? And why in hell would we re-elect Barak Obama if people can’t find work after almost four years of his presidency? Why would we re-elect Barak Obama when he hates Israel’s guts. Why would any Jewish person vote for Barak Obama? Why would we vote for Barak Obama when our ambassador to Libya was murdered by a group of blood thirsty scum who no longer fear what the United States of America would do to them?</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     The real reason the job situation is so poor right now is the inability to predict the future. No small business is going to open up another branch or hire another person when they simply do not know what their government is going to take from them next. President Obama has proven in words and in deeds that he wants to take from the folks that have it and made it, and give it to the folks that didn’t make it and don’t work for it. No company is going to build a new factory in this environment without first knowing what their costs are going to be. </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     Risk is the key to all of this. Business people risk everything every day. Barak Obama slammed millionaires and billionaires over and over again for months and months. These are the people who make the decision to hire most of the people who work in the United States. Why would we vote for Barak Obama if he hates risk, and despises successful people and small businesses. The businesses in America, small and large, simply will not hire people in the types of numbers we need to turn this situation around while Barak Obama is still in office to vilify their very livelihoods.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     The question is why would we vote for Barak Obama? Unfortunately I believe my country is heading to a disgraceful end. Read the following description of what is about to happen. Ask yourself, where do you think we are in the timeline?</span></div>

<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">     I believe that unless we stop this from happening and more people stop thinking more about themselves than they do about their country, we will see Barak Obama re-elected and only god knows what would happen to this great nation in the next four years. We are at the stage in the timeline where a huge portion of the electorate has discovered that they can “vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury”. This needs to stop now!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, a coupole of weeks ago on a Saturday morning we learned that Congressman Paul Ryan, Republican from Wisconsin, is to be Mitt Romney&#8217;s pick for the next Vice President of The United States.<br />
What are we to think of this selection? He&#8217;s not a graduate of Columbia University. He&#8217;s not a graduate of Harvard. He wasn&#8217;t selected as the President of the Harvard Law Review. He didn&#8217;t get a special free quota scholarship ride to any prestigious university and, instead, had to work his way through Miami University of Ohio. For God&#8217;s sake the man drove the Oscar Mayer Wiener Truck one summer and waited tables another!<br />
One morning when Paul Ryan was sixteen years old he went in to wake his father up and found him dead of a heart attack. He didn&#8217;t write two books about that experience. Instead, he assumed the role of adult at an early age, never having the luxury to pursue youthful drug use and the art of socialist revolution.<br />
Instead, Paul Ryan and his mother took his grandmother, suffering from Alzheimers, into the household and served as the primary care provider for his grandma. His grandma wasn&#8217;t the Vice President of the Bank of Hawaii so she could offer nothing in return, except the element of &#8220;need&#8221;.<br />
Once Paul Ryan got his BA in Economics from Miami University of Ohio he was hired as a staff economist in Wisconsin Senator Kastin&#8217;s office. The job must have not paid well because young Ryan moonlighted as a waiter and fitness trainer. No one offered him a &#8220;token honor&#8221; position at the University of Chicago and a $200,000 dollar a year salary.<br />
When a still young Paul Ryan returned to Wisconsin to run for Congress he didn&#8217;t demonize his opponent and dig up dirt to shovel against him. He waited until the standing Congressman vacated the office before seeking the office. In Janesville, Wisconsin they don&#8217;t have a big political machine to promote you, to criminalize your opponent; instead Paul Ryan had to go door to door and sit at kitchen tables and listen to his future constituents.<br />
After getting elected to Congress Paul Ryan didn&#8217;t triumphantly march into Washington, buy himself a Georgetown townhouse and proceed over to K Street to rub elbows with lobbyists. He bunked in his Congressional office and used the house gym for showers and a fresh change of clothes.<br />
Paul Ryan then married and took his bride back to Janesville. He lives on the same street he lived on as a kid and shares the neighborhood with eight other members of the Ryan clan. He hunts with the local Janesville hunt club and attends PTA meetings and other civic functions.<br />
For those who can&#8217;t make those public functions, Paul Ryan bought an old bread truck, converted it into a &#8220;mobile constituent office&#8221; and drives around to meet with those who need his help and attention.<br />
No, I don&#8217;t know if we can vote for a guy like this. He doesn&#8217;t have a regal pedigree; he&#8217;s Irish for God&#8217;s sake! No one awarded him a Nobel Peace Prize two months after getting elected. No one threw flowers or got &#8220;chills down their leg&#8221; as a he took his seat in Congress.<br />
What is most despicable about Paul Ryan is that he has had the nerve to write the House Budget for three years in a row. He&#8217;s is brazen and heartless in advocating in that budget for a $5 trillion dollar reduction in federal spending over the next ten years! <strong><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The House passed his budget three years in a row and three years in a row the Democratically controlled Senate has let it die in the upper house, without ever proposing a budget of their own.</span></strong></strong> What is wrong with this guy? <strong><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">If Congress were to cut $5 trillion dollars from the budget where would the President get the money to give $500 million dollars to a bankrupt Solyndra? Or $200 million dollars for bankrupt Energy 1? Or $11 billion dollars to illegal aliens filing INIT, non-resident tax returns to claim $11 billion big ones in child tax credits, even for their children living in Mexico?</span></strong></strong><strong> </strong> I don&#8217;t know. Paul Ryan seems heartless to me. <strong><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">He keeps wanting to cut government waste, he keeps wanting to put a halt to those big GSA conventions in Vegas and, worse, he keeps trying to make people look at that $16.7 trillion dollar deficit! The guy&#8217;s no fun at all!</span></strong></strong><strong> </strong> Who wants a numbers cruncher? Who wants someone spoiling the party by showing folks the bill? Nothing will spoil a party quicker than sending the host the bill before the party&#8217;s over.<!-- end of AOLMsgPart_1_b5b77c62-45db-472c-9b16-f7254fab725c --></p>
