I remember back in 2008, the Democrats had these nifty little slogans, like “Get out the Vote” and “Rock the Vote” and let’s not forget “Hope and Change.” Those slogans galvanized the masses to help elect an unqualified, disingenuous “community organizer” into the White House.

He said in a speech that “we are going to fundamentally change the United States of America. People “oohed” and “aahed” and now 2 1/2 years later, this president has succeeded in shoving down our throats unimaginable agendas that 10 or even five years ago would have been ludicrous.

As I write this, our country’s financial rating is probably going to be downgraded for the first time ever. Unemployment is still over 9 percent. Our second quarter growth was an embarrassing 1.3 percent. Nearly 50 percent of the people in this country pay no income taxes, some have been on the public dole for generations. Gaming the system is a way of life and they pass the game down to their children and grandchildren.

As I write this my husband and I have about $300 in our bank account, until payday. And yet, President “Hopey Changey” and his cohorts in D.C. got more to raise the debt ceiling by another $2-plus trillion, (yes trillion!). I can’t even wrap my head around that number.

Wake up America. We are still being had. The Republicans and Tea Party members are trying to undo the insanity created by this administration. Realistically, though, not much can be done when the party only has control of one-half of one-third of the government. Democrats still control the Senate and the White House. It’s time for Republicans to get our own slogans out there. I like “USA Rocks,” “Rock on America,” or maybe, simply, “Enough.” In 2012, we will get out our vote and get this anti-American administration out of the Senate, the White House and, God help us, our lives!
