Steroids, Baseball & Congress - Part II

While replying to Lt. Nixon's comments on my previous post about this subject I found my reply becoming so long that I decided it needed its own thread.

The good Lt. stated:

Seriously, steroids in Baseball, like that's something new. Next on the agenda for congress is probably something about video game violence. What do we pay these people for? Congress needs to get off their duffs and figure out funding.

Thanks LT.
I couldn't agree more.

Congress it seems regardless of party is infected with the disease of PC. It must only talk about issues and never really take them on for fear of failure.

Well I have news for you...I didn't elect anyone to represent me at the talking talk, I elected you to go to Washington and protect my views and fight for me, even if that means you fail in the process.

Congress will waste days at the hearings table wondering who had the audacity to lie to them, while you and the rest of our men and women in uniform begin to scrape for money to continue the fight and hard working defense contractors go home because their services are no longer being paid for.

Congress is crying about how the families and wounded of our serving men and women are being treated now, just wait until the tri-care employees aren't there for two or three weeks! If Congress was truly the august body it presents itself as being they would never waste our money on such stupid and non essential matters.

The Democratic Congress isn't a failure because of Republican obstructionism, they are a failure for the same reason the Republicans are, they are incapable of accepting the fact that they are nothing but two-bit hacks charading at being important. Denial is the first stage, and for decades they have never advanced any further, and for that: we the American people must suffer while they debate and whine.

Well, I'm tired of suffering because Congress is incompetent. I'm tired of paying more in taxes because Congress thinks its easier to charge us all for someone elses failure to thrive. I'm tired of listening to Congress talk and talk while men like Sgt. Stokely served and died for his country, so that "someone else wouldn't have to."

Congress is a failure, not the Democrats or the Republicans but Congress. If we can have term-limits for Presidents then by God we can have term-limits for Congressmen, and I don't want to hear any belly aching about how unconstitutional this idea is, its not, so get over it!

So that someone else wouldn't have to, that is a concept that Congress should take under their wing and run with, then maybe we won't have innocent shoppers being gunned down in shopping malls because they are too afraid to tackle the real issue, and they allow their fear of inanimate objects to drive their decision making process.

So that someone else won't have to die because they are incapable of funding our troops to the level they deserve and require, not only in theatre but also in garrison and after they've been wounded. Do you want universal health care, then lets start with our wounded warriors and ensure that we take care of them all the way to their grave at old age. Its despicable that Congress would turn their back on such fine men and women, who have given more of their lives and self than most in Congress ever has.

Congress will sit in judgement of people who are not deserving of judgement, and baseball will either be rewarded or punished by the fans. Congress should do us all a favor, pass a budget, go on recess and never come back!
