Just The Facts, M'am - Just The Facts

Remember the 1951 show Dragnet? Some of you may remember or perhaps watched the re-runs. It was a "cop" show with a stone faced Sgt. Joe Friday and his somewhat softer partner, Officer Bill Gannon. I remember Sgt. Joe Friday would do an interview and say, "Just the facts M'am...just the facts."

These days I have Sgt. Joe Friday in my head. Just the facts, please, just the facts.

Where am I going with this? I am heading down the political road on my blog. Yes. Yes I am!! My belly is in a knot. I am afraid for our Country. These are the facts as I see them.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.

The first six the economy was doing just fine.

He even encouraged people to shop after 9-11 (as Sen. Obama brought up at the last debate). Why? He didn't want us to panic and have our economy fail, which was the intent of Osama Bin Laden. But up until two years ago.....

1 - Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high

2 - Regular gasoline sold for 2.19 a gallon

3 - the unemployment rate stood at 4.5%

4 - the Dow Jones hit a record high

5 - Americans were buying new cars and taking overseas vacations.

But...some Americans wanted "Change". In 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and we got "change" - yes we did. So, with this in mind.....

1- Consumer confidence has plummeted

2- Gasoline has reached over 4.00 a gallon

3 - Unemployment is up to 5.5% - a 10% increase

4 - Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 Trillion Dollars and prices are still on a decline

5 - Our stocks, bonds, mutual funds and investment portfolios have spiraled down to the tune of $2.5 Trillion dollars - just poof - evaporated!

Why is Senator Obama continuing to point the finger at President Bush? Keep in mind that the President has no control over any of these issues, only Congress. Isn't it just peachy that the Democrats have given us such "wonderful" change? Isn't that what Senator Obama is about - change?

For another little fact, please stop over at Kirsten's blog and watch this You Tube video about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Pay great attention to who is opposing regulations. Just one more thing that the democrats are blaming on our President.

"Just the facts, M'am....just the facts."

I am a Conservative Christian - I LOVE my Country - I fear for our Country and the fate of the entire world.

Please pay attention. Vote with facts, do your homework.

We do need change - but Country First!!

One last thing, has anyone paid attention to the yard signs for Obama and Biden? You have to really look close for Biden's name...it isn't bold like Obama. Hmmm....Just a little fact.

And one last fact - one we should not forget - we have not had a terrorist attack on US soil since 9-11. Should we blame that on President Bush! Wink. Nod. Why YES we should, by golly!

Our vote: McCain and Palin - wink, nod - YOU BETCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Change? Yes please so I don't have to resort to one of these!
