Democrats seek separation from Nancy Pelosi

http://politi.co/aQn5uB

Seems many Democratic lawmakers do not want to be tied to their own House Leader. Hmmmm...

Talk about believing in their own party... apparently they don't so why should any voter?

It isn't much better on the Republican side of things either which is why my first criteria in voting this year will be, has the candidate served more then 1 or 2 terms in the office they are running for?

If the answer is Yes then Vote the Bum out....

Our Forefathers Never intended for Politics to be a career choice, they intended that Public Spirited Hard working folks would take some time out from their normal lives and serve their fellow Man for a few years and then return to their primary business or work...

Lets put an end to the term "Career Politician" starting in 2010...

Rants, no raves here...

I was going to write about the recent flap regarding The Jacksonville FOP suing the City (the Mayor) for speaking directly to Police officers regarding the Cities position regarding negotiations...

But heck why write about that, I mean the President of the FOP can Contact members of the Firemen's Union and specifically lobby them to NOT support an agreement they reached with the City, obviously the FOP President can talk to anyone but the Mayor can't so what is there to talk about...

No today I am writing about what may be even more "Stoopid" pet tricks by the Philadelphia Lawmakers... Taxing Bloggers, give me a break...

Ok so maybe there is more then one "Stoopid" pet trick going on here? What do you think...
