Check Out The Fruits Of My Studies On Jim Cooper's Voting Record...Is It What You Think?



My mission statement to you:
 
America, this Great Republic, is under attack from within, and I want my country back!  In my opinion, weak Republicans are mostly responsible for where we are today.  You cannot blame a Liberal for wanting to socialize this nation, that's what they do.  The Republicans were supposed to stand up against them for what is right.  THEY FAILED US!  I want to assist the conservatives in strengthening the Republican party.  We need to take back America from the current Marxist movement and Administration.  Together, we can.  Yes, WE can!

A Congressman Should Know Their Job!

One of the (many) problems I see with Washington is that these congressmen simply do not know what their job actually is.  They have so lost touch with reality that they believe their job is to protect us.....from ourselves!  That is not their job.  They are to protect us from foreign nations by providing a national defense.  They are to protect us financially by regulating commerce with foreign nations and between the states.  They are to provide secure borders.  Their job is not to mandate that you and I have health insurance.  It is not to ensure that you  have the ability to buy a house you cannot afford.  They are supposed to regulate the printing of money, not own banks!  Their job is not to own automobile companies.  And as much as I would love a playoff in college football, does anyone seriously believe this is a congressional matter?  Yet Congress is debating how they can mandate a playoff, and the President has teleprompted in his two cents.  SERIOUSLY?

And where did this idea originate, that because someone is elected to office they are the best and the brightest, and they know everything?  Most of them seem to wear that idea with pride, and believe it themselves.  It appears as if they are beginning to believe that they are in fact smarter than you and I, that they are incapable of making mistakes! 

I submit to you; I do not know everything!  I do, however, know that we need a different direction for our nation or we are doomed.  Our spending is out of control.  We are mortgaging the future of our children's children's children with debts they cannot possibly pay back.  Never in history has a Congress and President spent so recklessly with utter disregard for America's posterity. 

Here are some things that I DO NOT KNOW, and I am not ashamed to admit it!  I am an Aircraft Avionics Technician, I work on aircraft electrical systems.  As your Representative, I will not try to do things I do not understand.  I will not try to tackle things that are out of the realm of my responsibility as directed by the Constitution.  We need to run this country by the document upon which it was founded, the Constitution.  And I will NEVER vote for a bill I have not read and do not understand!

  -  I DO NOT know the best way to prosecute a war.  But I do not need to.  I have the Joint Chiefs of Staff to do that.  They are military EXPERTS, the best in the world.  I need to get the hell out of their way and let them take us to victory.  I DO NOT need to put handcuffs on them and ensure more of our young men and women die so we appear "nice".  Why would I set them aside and try to run a war myself?  What kind of arrogance does this?  Answer...our current Congress and President.

  -  I DO NOT know how to be the CEO of a bank.  Luckily, the Constitution does not direct me as a Representative to run a bank.  Why then would Congress take it upon themselves to overtake banks and run them as they like?  Where do they think they have the authority to take our money and give to the banks, then step in and run them?  What kind of arrogance does this?  Answer...our current Congress and President.

  -  I DO NOT know how to be the CEO of an automobile manufacturing company.  I have owned many cars and I enjoy driving them.  That, however, does not give me knowledge of how to build them, market them, sell them, handle employee payroll, direct the logistics of interstate and international sales.  How would I possibly know how to do this?  WHY then would I take it upon myself to do this?  What kind of arrogance does this?  Answer...our current Congress and President.

  -  I DO NOT know anything about the mortgage business.  I know that I have a mortgage and I know that it came from a particular bank.  I do not, however, know how to analyze a credit report or how to assess risk/reward anaylis to assign an interest rate.  I do not have any idea how to determine who should or should not have a mortgage.  That is what mortgage loan officers are for.  Why then would I try to tell a mortgage company who they should give loans to?   What kind of arrogance does this?  Answer...our current Congress and President.   

We need to once again let American ingenuity and desire for prosperity take control of our nation's destiny. And the only way to do this is to get the Federal Government out of the way and let free market principles take over once again. The reality is this that not everyone will prosper. For whatever reason, some people don't try hard enough. Some make bad decisions. Some aren't smart enough. Some will get into the wrong business or will get in at the wrong time. And some just have pure bad luck. Others, however, will prosper. They will get in at the right time and the right place. They will be smart enough, work hard enough, will make sound decisions and will have the luck. One thing is for absolute certain; under my principles of limited government power and intrusion, everyone will have the opportunity. Why should the government (against the Constitution I might add) stop its people from prospering so all can share in misery? That is a rhetorical question which cannot logically be answered.
