Conservatives Don't Need A Leader

[tt11758]

You and I take pride in our work. To many don't. You provide a culture of excellence and reward it, excellence is what you'll get. If medocrity is the norm, you get a work to rule mentality. To many folks will say why bother if it doesn't benefit me. Anyone whos had a job sees this every day.

You're missing the point.  The benefit is in continuing to receive a paycheck.

Spoke with a disgruntled and frustrated marine carpenter who supported BHO, for "hope & change".

I asked a simple question.
How was your business from 2002 to 2008?
He said it was smoking,.... hired more help, gave raises, provided company vans, annual company bonus parties, not including Christmas. Average bonus for an employee with 2 years employment was $8000.00 .

I asked him if it was coincidental that now he can't do any of those things, or if he sees those days coming again. He was NOT so optimistic about the hope and change he voted for.


The point is what is the alternative?  A lame and misdirected RINO Republican Party?

LBJ sucked so we got Nixon,
Nixon sucked so we got Carter,
Carter really sucked, so we got Reagan.
Reagan worked, despite a Dem Congress, and we got Bush 41.
To some Bush 41 sucked so we got Clinton,
Clinton was Clinton, and we got GWB,
GWB to some was good, to some was the devil,
the system gave us McCain or BHO.

The back and forth of one lame ass party to another has got to stop.

BHO was the slicker package, but I don't want the Republican Party as it is now, Michael Steele is a RINO. Hoffman in NY is running as an Independent, but on Glenn Beck, said he was a Conservative that can't find the same values within the Republican Party to support that party.

The elitist, pompous, arrogant, politicians 99% of them, need to be sent a message. Talk is cheap, and selling your soul to the special interests, and personal power trip, is ruining this country.

The percentage of sheeple will always fall for the slickest speeches on the stump, but what has that gotten us?

I'm tired and pissed of being USED by MY/OUR Gov't. 

If it takes a third party fine, but we better start getting through to those bastards in DC, and remind them who they work for.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm in the not so hallowed halls of unemployment eating my savings and a very much reduced portfolio (not that there was much of one to begin with) so reality and I are are on intimate terms. Secondly, I agree about absurd benefits. My argument was over CE raises. Again, talent follows money. You can't expect excellence and pay for mediocrity. Saying to an employee, if you go out and get this certification, that degree, these advanced training classes on your own time and dime and we'll pay you more, or promote you, they will. You don't, they won't.

Try explaining that to my former lead man who, after taking 2 different classes at the local community college ON THE ADVICE OF THE PLANT MANAGER, , not only was told he would not receive a raise, but actually had his pay CUT by $.50/ hour
