Proud to be the party of "NO"

Democrats and President Obama have labeled Republicans as the "party of no" as if that is a bad thing!

  It isn't. 

The Republicans in office should wear that badge proudly.  After all, they are really representing and listening to their constituents.  Obama and the Democrats, in all their arrogance, are not.

The majority of Americans, finally enlightened by the emergence of the real Obama - who wasn't the moderate he pretended to be during the presidential campaign - have been frightened and angered by the policies and plans coming out of the White House. 

We need to say NO to Obamacare.  Obamacare is nothing more than a government power-grab of one-sixth of the United States economy.

We need to say NO to Cap and Tax (trade). 

We need to say NO to terrorist-friendly policies.

We need to say NO to holding civilian trials for terrorists in New York City.

We need to say NO to bigger government.

We need to say NO to higher taxes.

We need to say NO to weaker National Defense.

We need to say NO to stimulus bills that do nothing, create no jobs, and are loaded with pork, as we have now witnessed several times.

We need to say NO to the spend, spend, spend mentality in government.

We need to say NO to the government take-overs of businesses in the private sector.

We need to say NO to a government intent on taking away more and more of our rights.

Obama's socialist policies clearly don't resonate with the majority of Americans.  His dive in the polls, his failures at home and abroad, are already clear signs that he is on his way to becoming one of the worst presidents this country has every seen.  The American people know what Obamacare is all about.  We know that Cap and Trade would set up the government for more control over our lives and stifle economic growth.  And more Americans are learning that global warming is a joke - with data manipulated by scientists to support a specific agenda.    

I really hope that many Republican leaders refuse to attend the next Obama infomercial coming up on February 25th.  You know, that meeting that the media is portraying as a "bipartisan" discussion between Obama and Republicans regarding healthcare.  Don't be fooled.  Obama and the Dems have no desire to change their 2,000 plus pages boondoggle plan for government-run health care.  "Bipartisan" as defined by Democrats means  "do it our way."  Obama doesn't want to start from scratch on a real healthcare plan and actually work with the Republicans.  No.  Obama wants to present via television a pretty picture that gives the impression that he is actually working with the Republicans - when that is far from the truth.    Republican legislators should simply say "NO" and refuse to sit and listen to The One, with his nose arrogantly up in the air,  point his finger and tell them what to do.  Obama wants a photo op and nothing more.

The party of "NO" has a nice ring to it right now.  After all, Democrats tried it for eight long years while Bush was president - they voted against everything Bush tried to do, whether good or bad. Whether justified or not.  They just had to vote "no" cuz...... after all, it was BUSH!!!  And remember, the Dems never found the need to offer any alternative, well-thought out solutions of their own - all the Dems did was obstruct. And they were good at it.  All the Dems did was say "no" for eight long years.  (Did the press every call them the "party of no?")...  Funny how that works....

Republicans need to take a page out of the Democrats playbook.  Say NO - say it loud and clear and stand firm!!!  Listen to the Americans who turned out in full force at Tea Parties.  Listen to the Americans who are frightened by what Obama & Co. are doing to our country. 

Stand proud and say NO!  Americans will thank you for it in 2010 and 2012.
