Just a few reasons to vote for Bob Tuke

As many who know me very well, I am pissed about the bail-out proposal. My husband told me it’s people like me that may very well cause another Great Depression, but of course I disagree. I think the idea is a bogus piece of legislation to gain media hype. I am completely against the idea [...]

Weakley County Democratic Rally

Everyone’s invited. Support the Democrats in Weakley County.

Great idea

Just imagine if the federal government were to give every taxpaying household in the country a $100,000 check? that would bail out Main Street, thereby impacting Wall Street immediately. It’s so simple.
I bet it would cost less than $700 billion and the economy would see an instant boost. Talk about stimulating. If only the people [...]

I had hoped to hear an inspiring speech in support of bashing the financial bail-out proposal from Obama. We have yet to make it to [...]

Republicans and happy bunnies

I found this somewhat odd that I just had to share and see if others agreed with me. According to a Rice University study of 46 people, physiological traits shape political attitudes. The study used several pictures to illicit a reaction from Republicans and Democrats.
“The participants with traditional conservative views — supportive of the Iraq war, [...]

Federal Bailouts

Mainstream media outlets are spewing over with talk of a proposal by the Bush Administration that would allow $700 Billion, yes that really is $700 billion, to bail out mortgage companies.
On so many levels, I have issues with the idea of spending more money than has been spent on the Iraq War. This is money [...]

Welcome

This will be a work in progress so bear with me as I iron out the bugs and get the blogroll going so that others can participate with me. This blog will truly be a combined effort by those who feel they have little voice on local political issues.
We hope to use this outlet to [...]
