All Democrats, Republicans and Independents must trade in clunkers for elected officials that represent us. Most of our elected officials, the clunkers, don”t represent us. They forced banks to lend to those who were not qualified. They bail out those who fail with funds from those who succeed. They take over private enterprise like GM. They bought Chrysler for the UAW with our money. They will cripple the competitiveness of our country by taxing all the energy we use in a failed effort to control the planet”s weather. They criticize the use of corporate jets while buying more and more for their use. With a record of failure in every effort, they now want to control all aspects of our health care. In addition to firing CEOs of private companies, they want to decide what grandma”s medical care will be. While we try to communicate complete opposition to these efforts, they sneak them through. They do not represent us, they are only led by greed and an insatiable need for power and control. At a state level, they spend foolishly and when they run out of money they cut critical services to protect wasteful spending. We have clunkers from Washington to Sacramento and we need to quickly trade them in. Replacing these clunkers (e.g. Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, Thompson, et al) that number in the hundreds, is the only way to preserve our freedom and liberty. Plus it will allow us to retain some of our hard earned cash.
