Do Do Do Do You Have It?! GUTS!

I must admit, I was definitely a fan of this great Nickelodeon game show as a child. In fact they had one show that had a rodeo segment. It was always my favorite. However, today I have a different question of who has guts? And although I don't normally go political here, today, I have to.

You see today, we are voting on one of the most financially irresponsible pieces of legislation ever to come to the Floor. Cap and Trade is on the floor today and honestly don't believe what the news or the President is telling you on this one. This bill does not do what it says it does. It will cost billions of tax payers dollars, it will send jobs overseas, it will make your electricity prices go up, your food prices go up. In a few small words, it will screw you. And not only will it do that, it is not going to do a damn thing about lowering our global temperature. It MIGHT in 50 years lower the world temperature by less than 1 degree.

So who has the guts. There are so squishy people on this vote. For the most part they are the Blue Dogs who are a group of lawmakers whom I have a lot of respect for...but that can all change. You see they have said they are opposed to spending billions in this bill, but will they actually stand for what they and vote the way their district wants them to. Because let's face it. Each member is responsible to their district, not Pelosi, not the President, to the men and women who live in the district they represent. Let me tell you. So of these Congressmen are about to pull the most chicken move of their careers.

I hope they prove me wrong and have the guts to stand up for what it right. Because the fight doesn't end here. There is still a healthcare fight ahead. And I promise you - after reading 852 pages of the health care proposal - I promise you, it's a load of crap too.

So here's to the fight ahead. I hope people have the guts to do what is right, not for themselves, but for the people they represent. Because this is not about me.
