For most of my life I've been told that the government was to protect our rights and freedoms in the United States, how is it doing these days? Not well as I see it and here's why: Socialist government now is to raise us all from cradle to grave so we can all be equally unhappy. Government now knows best what to do with your money; you are too ignorant!

Do you really want this government to run your health care? They tried to run the mortgage industry, see where that got us - $800 trillion in debt and no investigation!

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were quasi-government entities that were robbed at the feet of Democrats and they ignore it! For proof look up Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and several others. Audio and video are all over the internet of these people saying there was no crisis at all while they were lining their pockets.

Democrats have been voting Democrat for years so they can fix things and live in a utopia and every two to four years the same problems need to be fixed.

Blind loyalty to a single party equals socialism and there are no choices in that. Return this government to the people, for the people and by the people so our children can have choices when they grow up.
