081106 WSJ: Swing Voters Don't Want Big Government - Pat Toomey PDF Print E-mail

The following are comments made by Frank Shannon in response to an article in the Wall Street Journal written by Pat Toomey of the Club for Growth and available here: 

"If there was ever an example of someone pointing fingers without considering the other three pointing at themselves, this is it!!! 

These Club for Growth idiots need to rename their organization to 'The Club For Negative Growth' or 'The Republican Suicide Encouragement Club'.  And Toomey's title should be 'Chief Business Executioner'.

They lure Republicans into their agenda because Republicans (me included) agree with 90% of their agenda which Toomey speaks to in the following piece.  What Toomey avoids discussing in his piece, and publicly for the last 8 years, is the 10% where some Republicans violently disagree.  That is maintaining the un-level playing field for international trade.  This position (status quo on trade) has led to our current economic situation and the decimation of my Republican Party.  This is their real purpose for existence but they don't talk about it publicly.  If you go to their web site and look at their rating system for legislators this is obvious. 

The Club's trade anarchy position has allowed their Wall Street buddies to plunder "Main Street, America" and other nations as their deploy their tactics to serve maximum profit for Wall Street regardless of the long-term national consequences. 

Every Reagan Republican, Reagan Democrat and Roosevelt Republican should be shouting this from the highest buildings until The Club for Negative Growth becomes the pariah they deserve to be.  No group, no party, no individual has brought more destruction to our economy, our security and our nation that these idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Do not ask me how I really feel.  My response would cause your computer to explode and burn to a crisp.  These idiots have been instrumental in destroying our economy and my political party."

Frank could not be more on the mark - bulls eye. Thanks for expressing what a WHOLE LOT of us think and why we have abandoned the party that has been hijacked by the "meists." If the Republicans don't change they will fade into the margins. We need balance in government and people like Toomey seem determined to make sure that balance is marginalized. The real wake up call is what Frank Shannon "suggests."
