This is why we have to elect people that have clue about how socialism and capitalism works.

Let’s see, give the bankers and insurance companies 700 BILLION DOLLARS because they failed!?! Thousands send faxes, emails, and make phone calls to try to stop Congress from doing it… We need to vote them ALL OUT — each and every one that voted FOR the wall street bailout, if we can. These are not the people we need to rebuild this country and take it back from the socialists!

My opponent, Representative JoAnn Emerson VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT, CASH FOR CLUNKERS, unbalanced budgets, NAIS FUNDING has all come through her AG Committee, TAX INCREASES, JOB DESTROYING TRADE AGREEMENTS, funding out of control regulatory agencies, and on and on!

Don’t be fooled again!

Most people are not aware of these facts, please pass this on to your friends. In my meetings around the district, I am finding even Republican committee people are not aware of these votes…

Dave Eberhart wrote an interesting article about Sen. John McCain’s appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” this weekend and revealed that he now regrets the Wall Street bailout.

McCain dropped a bombshell when revealing his thoughts on the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) that, among other things, green-lighted the federal government to bailout the floundering financial sector.

“What we’ve done, unfortunately, is we bailed out Wall Street, now they’re making billions, they’re making the deals, they’re giving the bonuses, and because they were too big to fail, we pumped – I don’t know, we still haven’t had a full accounting – into those major financial corporations and told financial institutions.”

In 2008 McCain voted for the TARP bailout, but now revealed his disappointment in how the bailout went down.

“We told them they were too big to fail,” McCain told King. “We told the guy on Central Avenue that just shut down his storefront that he’s too small to save. There’s something terribly wrong with that picture, and we were off on the wrong foot by bailing out these financial institutions instead of addressing the housing crisis. And Americans have figured it out and they’re very, very unhappy.”

HEADLINE: Sullivan, MO – [August 31, 2009] – “I’m Going To Go To Washington And Knock On Their Doors”

8th District Congressional Candidate Bob Parker appeared before a crowd of over 300 gathered Sunday at the Sullivan, MO fairgrounds for a Statewide Pink Slip Rally intended to highlight frustrations with elected officials who support controversial legislation such as a proposed health care control bill, cap and trade, and bills regarding agricultural and property rights issues. Parker spoke of his motivations for his Congressional campaign.

“I’ve been working on the Animal I.D. program [NAIS] in the state for the last 4 years. I found out about that and got the facts on it. Now they’ve changed the name…it’s now food safety. H.R. 2749 already passed [the U.S. House]…you need to get educated.” Parker continued, “I went to a farm tour that our Representative had, and she said, ‘We really dodged a bullet on H.R. 2749…NAIS isn’t in it.’ Well, she’s wrong…it IS in it.”

As he acknowledged the frustration felt by many Americans over the unconstitutional bailout spending of the last year, and enlarging on the remarks of another speaker, the Texas County Republican said,

“A lot of us conservatives have not done a good job knocking on doors.”

The Statewide Pink Slip Rally was hosted by the Sullivan 9/12 group, an organization begun by conservative commentator Glenn Beck to promote conservative principles and values. The group brought together multiple speakers from grassroots liberty organizations as well as candidates for state as well as federal offices.

Parker concluded, “I want to go up there before they knock on my door, before they knock on my farm door to chip my animals, and I’m going to go to Washington to knock on THEIR doors.”
