OK, for all of you who want to know what will happen when (thanks to Bush I think it is a when, not if) the Democrats take control of the White House – Take a look at what Deval Patrick is doing to Massachusetts. This guy is a carbon copy of what you will get in Hillary or Obama.
Today he announced his budget for the year. In this bad economy, with taxes taking a big chunk of what we earn now, he has added almost $500 million in NEW spending. We can’t balance the budget now and he wants more? How is he going to pay for this you ask? Easy, he is counting on income from a number of sources including our “Rainy Day” fund – tap for $370 million, and $124 million from the casinos that we have not even OK’d the building of yet. He is also looking to raise taxes and somehow get $166 million in back taxes that he can get paid when no one else could. . . . When asked Patrick was quoted as saying it was his job to find new sources of revenue for the state? What the hell is he talking about?
As far as I can tell it is his job to run the state the way the voters want it run. It is not his job to ruin us all. Instead of raising imaginary money to run the state that we may never see he should be doing the hard job of cutting the budget to fit what we have for money. . . I’ll give you three guesses where all this extra money will come from when his imaginary sources don’t work out. . . . . Yep, more taxes on you and me, got it on the first guess.
The Democrat party is no longer democratic at all but Socialist. They can’t seem to get in their head the idea of a balanced budget any more than George Bush can. We are going to end up trading one messed up party for another and we will still be on the loosing end.
Governor Patrick, if you really want to be the leader you claim you will get the reduction in income tax the voters passed put through. You would cut state spending across the board to get it to the level we can afford now. You would tell the people of this state that we all have to deal with the pain in this economy and services have to be cut to the level we can afford to pay for with our taxes and still afford to live in this state.
We need a Governor and a President that realizes all this money they are spending is not free, it comes out of my pocket and yours. We need to stop putting politicians into office and start to put in some business men who know what it means to run in the black – an how to make the hard choices that will get us there.
If we don’t do this, if we put in Hillary, Obama or McCain, just look at the mess

The Democratic Party of Massachusetts is not the Democratic Party of the whole US.
The Democratic part of MA may not be that of the whole US, but it ain't what it use to be either. Obaba is all but running on the same feel good quotes that got Patrick into office here. Too bad it was all talk with no substance behind it but the people voted him in to feel good, now we pay the price. Both parties have forgotten what their job is and who they work for in office. They both want power and to pay off folks to vote for them. Sell them feel good BS and don't rock the boat trying to fix anything.
We desperately need new blood in politics in this country, what we got don't work. We need new people in power that actually respect the Constitution and will follow it. . . Problem is I don't see anyone like that running on either side so once again it is a choice of who will do the least damage until the next election. . . and down we spiral. . . . .
