Do not even get me started on that illegal immigration bill presently being studied by congress.  All 700 pages or so which according to Lou Dobbs reads as a legal document.  One wonders how many will actually read that bill and know of the specific details within it.  How much is that bill going to cost you the American tax payer?  Will it put strains on our hospitals and our school districts?  No one really knows.  Why can’t the Mexican President, Felipe Calderón take care of his own citizens as well as the wealthy within Mexico?  No, the Mexican president wants us to take care of his citizens and our president capitulates.  Will our congress approve this bill?  Oh of course it will.  Next time any bozo running for office asks for a donation to their campaign, I will place within the envelope Monopoly Money since that is how they see our money. 

This past week, looking at the corruption taking place in Washington, D.C. with Alberto Gonzales, again the illegal wire tapping issue, the illegal immigration bill, this war supplemental bill and again this monstrosity that will house State Department officials in Baghdad, at one point I threw up my hands saying; why vote?  You know, you go to the polls and it seems like nothing ever changes.  I try to be optimistic, but in the face of this ship of fools in Washington, D.C., it is truly hard to be. 

My sentiments were mirrored as I read this depressing article in which “25% of Americans now say they satisfied with the state of their country -- down 8% in just one month -- and one of the lowest ever measured.”  One of the reasons they give is the high gas prices.  This past November many did feel a sense of hope, but when reads, “Over the past month, satisfaction fell more among Democrats, suggesting that some of them may be souring on their party's actions or inactions in Congress.” If our Democratic controlled congress does not get a handle on this, I do feel we stand a chance in losing control of both houses and even the presidency in 2008. I just do not know how much the American people can take being run by this ship of fools coming from both parties.  To Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid; are you listening to the American people?
