C-SPAN REPORTS ON A TEAPARTY RALLY

Convinced of my own masochism, I forced myself to listen to a Teaparty rally.  The sounds like rebellious teenagers.  They were shouting and asking for getting government to get out of their lives and let them make their own decisions.  As someone who raised 6 offspring through teen age and worked for 20 years with teenagers, I cringed as I heard the familiar bad logic.

One young, very pretty black woman, vainly started her shouting with an apology for the appearance of her hair as she had been caught in the rain.  She went on to bellow that we must repeal ObamaCare, making me wonder what made her think she had really known a thing about the bill.  A NC, conservative republican doctor, Dr. John Whitley, running for election to the House of Representatives was clearly frightened that he wouldn't be able to set his own rates and get richer.  He kept talking about how with ObamaCare no doctor would be working in a private practice; they all would be working for the government insurance policies.  He argued for letting free enterprise determine costs.  I do not know what his medical specialty is but he spoke as though he would continue his practice if her were elected to the House.  He wrote: "Government doesn’t know best – we the people know best. As your representative in Congress, I’ll lead the fight to return us to fiscally sound, limited government; for it is our Constitution that recognizes that the strength of America comes from our people, not our government.".  Listen to his brief video.  He is naive enough to believe that, if he is elected to Congress, he will see that Obabacare is repealed and he will put the fiscal house in order.

The dead-beat Dad, Joe Walsh, did his usual schtick and started off saying that he had typed out a speech then proceeded to tear up several pages and compare himself to Obama but without the use of the prompter.  One can readily say why he doesn't need a prompter.  He has been giving the same message since her first gone into the house a couple of years ago.  He can rev up fire and brimstone just like any good evangelical TV minister can do.  If one didn't know better, one might honestly err in assuming the man knows whereof he speaks.

The moral to this story:  "Never smile at a crocodile.  Don't be taken in by his silly grin   He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin.  (song from Peter Pan movie by Disney)"

JOE WALSH: IF HE IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TEAPARTIERS, WE'RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

Representative Joe Walsh who recently won an award for his position on families (while being a 'dead beat dad' who owes his children $117,000 in back child care payments), appears on video speaking to a constituent who works for the post office, Melissa Rakestraw.  To watch the video, click here.

Representative Walsh was voted in as a Teapartie4r but is now apparently considered a Teapublican. Little did we know that the Teaparty, as they were forming and and making promises, would change their minds on goals once they got to their job in Washington.  The wishes of their constituents appears no longer as a high priority for Mr. Walsh.  When postal delivery person, Melissa Rakeshaw, challenged him about shutting down the Postal
Service which exists because it is written to do so in the Constitution and told him it threatens 200,000 jobs, he said  'I don't care about them' ..The ' I ' in that sentence says it all, especially since he said it to one of his constituents.  After hearing her interviewed the day after this exchange, it seems highly likely that Mr. Walsh need not try to campaign to her as it  seems equally unlikely that he will get her vote.

Just as the vows of marriage meant nothing to Mr. Walsh, neither does his oath of office.  Judging from all his votes, he is also a Norquist pledge signer.  Since he cannot be loyal to his family, nor his country, we need to take a better look at the people who think they can make decisions that profoundly effect the rest of us.
