We have suffered right wing enough

Since the economy has finally, publicly, hit the fan, our executive branch and Federal Reserve big wigs finally admitted to the American public that we are already well past recession and much closer to a depression.

Their solution, so far, is to make every effort to protect the American financial sector from having any of this hit them.

As for me, I sit here opening my mail (yes, I still use the mail, not a computer for my finances) and paying all the bills I owe promptly but focusing all other spending narrowly.

As for all other nonessential spending (i.e. magazine subscriptions, charities, environmental or consumer advocate organizations, etc.), I just send them no money, but only a note stating that I give no money to anyone except our soldiers and to progressive political candidates who must immediately replace the sad parade of losers now infecting our political scene.

We as a nation have suffered these fools for far too long and, hopefully, the American public, after having tried just about everything else, will finally give left wing liberals a shot at trying to pull the American wagon out of the sinkhole on the side of the road where conservatism has left it mired.

Hopefully, it is not too late.

Remember, a leader like Obama will be effective, and have real power only if he has a like-minded cadre of congressional House and Senate statesmen and women to make his policies fly through our normally cumbersome political law making procedures.

Help political candidates nationally, not just those in Illinois.
