It Should Be About Accountability
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Holding elected officials accountable for the votes they make should be what the 2010 election is about. If the person representing you is more inclined to grow government and digger deeper into your wallet to support the expansion of government – that representative needs to be un-elected. Sure, they will (and already are) making a big point of how they are taking care of you and your needs putting government handouts where they are needed for the handy and downtrodden. Those handouts wouldn’t be possible if they didn’t first involve Big Brother taking from the private sector the resources they are so busy spending.
This Washington Post story indicates that incumbents are a little worried about the mood of the public. The account also indicates that Nevada’s senior U.S. Senator is spending his huge treasury of campaign wealth to saturate the state with the message of how much Nevada needs a big spender, dynasty builder in place to take care of us.
Depending on the number of people with their hands out and the pervasive culture of “getting our share” that approach to getting re-elected might work. It’s not going to do much for resolving the problems we face, the weakened economy, the massive unemployment – but then who said that elections should be about those things as long as the person being re-elected tells us how good of job they do at spending our money?
If you are one of “those people” who believe in self-reliance and self-responsibility – with individual liberty and opportunity…those “greedy” ideas and values just aren’t going to cut it with the “change” the Party has in mind. Government is the answer to all and the source of the well-being we will receive…they voted and decided and now are telling us as such.
