Again, the Dems just don't get it...

What, in the name of pancakes, does it take for this liberal, idiotic, 70-year-old scary-looking, dried-up POS to understand that she needs to get the hell out of D.C.? Her own party doesn't want her!

I realize that I am new to this board. I lean a little on the conservative side of things, more Libertarian, because I believe in the credo that "less is more" when it comes to Federal Government... but! MUCH more conservative than liberal. I feel that the Tea Party's doing its fair share in shaking down D.C., but more...MUCH more needs to be done.

IMHO, get ready for two more years of little happening, and get ready for a BIG 2012 election. But, who will be the GOP 2012 leader? Who will get the nomination?

Who do YOU think it will be? Or, should be, in your opinion? Who is the going to be the President to lead us out of this fiasco that Obama has created and will set the stage for the up-coming "roaring 20's"?

A post was made on another board about Thomas Jefferson that, while VERY summarized, reveals what his hopes for this nation would be, and I find the words that he stated back in the 18th century and early 19th century to be even truer in this day and age:

Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped.

· At 5, began studying under his cousins’ tutor.

· At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.

· At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.

· At 31, wrote the widely circulated "Summary View of the Rights of British America" and retired from his law practice.

· At 32, was a Delegate to the Second Continental Congress.

· At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence.

· At 33, took three years to revise Virginia 's legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom

· At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase doubling the nation's size.

· At 61, was elected to a second term as President.

· At 65, retired to Monticello.

· At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.

· At 81, almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia and served as its first president.

· At 83, died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence along with John Adams

Thomas Jefferson knew because he-himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man That happens to be waaay more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time... He made this statement:"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to
control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive
the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the
continent their fathers conquered..”

That, my friend, is the problem with a 2-party system. We need substance and a leader that won't cow to the lobbies and special interests.

Who will that be? A TRUE leader of the U.S.A.?
