Tea Party Harms 2012 Prospect of a GOP Senate

Are those who belong to the Tea Party in favor of concerned Senate Bills passed in most states in which none of us in any Political Party/Independent voters have/had a chance to familiarize ourselves with, before they were passed? Are we human voters discounted from the opportunity to participate in our Government by having laws passed only by corporations via select politicians?

I just read about this in my local paper and i had no idea about this law was so detrimental and unjust to human citizens:

A Big Concern, for me, too, is this particular passage found on this tofahstmj4 site:

"...to save money, the Governor's controversial budget bill would allow the state (Michigan) to "sell any state-owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without the solicitation of bids."

"If the government were to unload these power plants, we would want to see not just transparency, but competitive bidding," said UW-Milwaukee Public Administration Professor, Mordecai Lee. "We'd want to know that the taxpayers are getting the most for their dollars." Additionally, Lee stated: "Really, it seems to me it makes government look like it's for sale,"

American Political History reveals it was plainly unethical for the government to choose a company without soliciting bids from anyone qualified to provide the products and/or services needed by the government. Yet, President Bush and Dick Cheney had an already-ready Halliburton strangely enough, prepared for war before any of us know there would be a war with Iraq.

I do not know if there are Tea Party Members in ALEC, but hope you will, at least, research this ALEC organization and decide whether it is perfectly fine, for all of you and all of us, to let corporations and politicians decide your/our fate.

QUE SERA, SERA WITH THE SENATE...

And que sera, sera with the House.

Whatever those two will be, will be.

What is most needed now is getting that veto and executive-order pen in a President Paul's hand.

Ps - before any of you readers believe what this writer has to say, watch with your own eyes and hear with your own ears (for free, at u toob dot com) the speeches Rand Paul and Ron Paul make.

You will find that along with criticisms of politicians from the past, there are also compliments and suggestions OF COMPROMISE when compromise MAKES SENSE.

But nobody wants to point out that fact.

Just like the racists who call other people racists. It takes one to know one. Everybody says the TEA Party doesn't compromise. That isn't true. The problem with the other side is that they are offering Junk for Compromise -- and We The People are supposed to like Junk and believe it is the solution.

It is NOT the solution. Junk is Junk and we have had Junk from Congress for the past 20-88 years.

No more. The tide will keep changing. And I am glad to see it.

Nothing you say or write about the TEA Party can be taken at face value at this point.

The reason the GOP didn't get enough seats in the Senate is there weren't enough good sensible candidates.

Next election there will be more. This country cannot be fixed overnight.

At least we are working on it. Sorry nobody wants real change.
