Forks In The Road

March 20th, 2009

Questions are arising as to whether Barack Obama is really the one running the Democrat party. He signed a trillion dollar spending bill he did not read; he gives great speeches….as long as someone writes the words for him to read -literally; he publicly turns to attorneys to finds out what is in HIS executive order; he signs onto massive new social programs pushed through by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid; Clinton operatives Carville, Begala, Emanuel and Stephanopolis meet secretly to lay out political attack strategies; He is too busy to be bothered with following appropriate protocol in dealing with world leaders –especially our greatest ally, Great Britain; and, Obama appears to be an unaware bystander through it all.

MCV-PAC sees some similarity in Obama’s leadership with great literature:
Alice came to a fork in the road. “Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

But then, on the other hand, once he does figure out where he wants to go, we may really regret where he leads us with purpose.


Carnahan on “Stimulus”

March 12th, 2009

Last weekend, presumed Democrat candidate for US Senate, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, attempted to dodge the question of whether she would have voted for the  extravagantly wasteful “stimulus” bill as ALL DEMOCRAT SENATORS DID: “I don’t think it was an option to do nothing,” Carnahan said. “People who kept saying no to everything … don’t have a lot of credibility on this stuff.” “I don’t know everything that was in that package,” she said, adding that “something had to be done, and it had to be done quickly.”

MCV-PAC ran the figures, and legislators would have had to read 640 words per minute (that’s almost 2 pages) to know everything that was in the 1071-page stimulus bill within the 10 hours before they had to vote.MCV-PAC wonders, as all responsible Missourians do, whether doing something is better than doing nothing when you admittedly don’t know what you are doing. So, what kind of credibility do Carnahan, Senator McCaskill, or the rest of the Democrat Senate actually have? Can we trust Carnahan to represent OUR best interests when she wouldn’t even bother to slow down the process, preferring to just doing the “something” that was presented by San Francisco and Las Vegas liberals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
