Super Tuesday Should Be Super Accountable

Super Tuesday is upon us and how quickly Michigan has been forgotten in the race for the Presidency. No state in the union is hurting as badly as Michigan and when the presidential candidates where here in Michigan all they talked about was creating jobs for the unemployed. However, since the Presidential candidates high tailed it out of Michigan the jobs talks have all but vanished. Make no mistake about it, economic power is the only power that matters and if we are not powerfully economically we are not powerful in any form.

What really scares me is all of the talk of staying engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan, remember the Russians tried this in the late 70’s and early 80’s and they are only now starting to get back to a respectable economic level. Russia invested heavily in its war in Afghanistan and this investment destroyed Russia.

Ironically, Osama bin Laden said he would bleed America dry in the Middle East and many idiotic politicians thought he meant militarily, he actually spoke out and supported his statement by saying he will bleed every last dollar from the American people. Well, we have turned a federal surplus into the world’s largest federal deficit ever since he made this comment and what have we really gained in the Middle East? I think it’s time we let the idiots have at it for a while and worry about America and go back into the Middle East when the idiots have relocated back into civilization. It is much easier to destroy the terrorist bastards when they are living it up in hotels and restaurants than chasing car bombers and camel bombers through caves and ditches.

I am also tired of listening to politicians speak more about foreign issues than domestic issues, do you think the prime ministers in other countries run for office by spending all day talking about LA gangs, New York subways, or San Francisco smog? I don’t and you probably don’t either. I think we all know that we need to hear from our Presidential candidates on Super Tuesday that they will create jobs domestically and spend domestically and quit with all the overseas meddling. No mother hen would ever leave the chicken coup unattended to watch the pig farm so why should our elected politicians be looking overseas so much when we have problems right here.

I also want to end this BS about pollution, why should America stop building a coal plant when in thirty other developing nations’ energy plants one hundred times more polluting are going up daily? Pollution is pollution no matter where it comes from so why punish Americans so that Swahili’s and Jujubeans can enjoy some cheaper but much more polluting energy? It’s time we quit being embarrassed or ashamed to be Americans, it’s time we take back our future from big business outsourcing and failed political managers.

I hope that voters step up on Super Tuesday and send a message to all the politicians in America that we want our politicians to work for us domestically and not act like they are some United Nations crony. I also wonder, does anyone remember the idiotic mantra ‘Jobs Americans won’t do’? I think we need to find out who those politicians were and make sure we vote for the other guy\girl, I cannot believe they ever said something like that.

In Michigan there is an over seven percent unemployment rate, you tell these proud Americans there is a job they won’t do. That phrase disgusts me. What I want to know is if there is a job any slimy spineless CEO would not outsource or off-shore. I also think we need to start punishing businesses who outsource and off-shore by not buying their products, you better do this now before it is too late.

Are you holding them accountable with your votes?
