It’s time for voters to VETO Congress

First Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he's been awarded an Olympic gold medal -- for going downhill faster than any president ever!

It's all falling apart for Obama and his cabal of socialists, elitists, tax cheats and alleged sexual harassers. As Obama promises to pass Obamacare -- whether we like it or not -- his Democratic political machine implodes under the weight of its own arrogance, hypocrisy, deceit and fraud.

Rep. Charles Rangel had to step down as chairman of Ways and Means (the committee that determines taxes for all Americans) because he's a tax cheat. Only days later, Rep. Eric Massa of New York was forced to resign following allegations that he sexually harassed one of his male aides.

Now here is where it gets interesting. On the way out the door, Massa called Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, "son of the devil's spawn." He accused Emanuel, the president's head goon and intimidator, of framing him because he would have voted against Obamacare. Massa said of Obama and Emanuel: "They will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill." It almost sounds like he's talking about the Chicago mob, doesn't it?

These are the people rushing and ramming through a trillion-dollar government takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy -- without ever reading it -- with a large majority of Americans opposing it ... in the middle of a depression. Does this make sense?

Why would any sane politician be so anxious to pass a job killer and massive tax increase in the midst of a depression? Why would any sane human being want to pass a trillion dollars (or far more) in new spending in the middle of a unsustainable debt crisis? Is Obama truly this ignorant and politically tone deaf? Or does he know exactly what he's doing?

Perhaps his goal from Day One has been to pile on enough debt to overwhelm the U.S. economy, put big government in control of our lives forever and destroy capitalism before his one term is up.

Obama was my college classmate at one of the most prestigious universities in America (Columbia University, class of 1983). There are two things I can tell you about my classmates at Columbia: First, none of them were stupid or ignorant. Second, most (if not all) were socialists and Marxists who despised America and hoped to one day end capitalism.

Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have repeatedly denied the existence of "death panels." But the joke is on them -- they are the death panel. Any member of Congress dumb or self-destructive enough to vote for Obamacare will be committing political suicide. They are following the orders of madmen and women, right off a cliff. And worse, they will be throwing gas on the fire of a smoldering citizen revolution. I predict that there will be revolt if this bill is passed against the wishes of the American people with only 51 Senate votes (through a procedure called reconciliation).

We are facing an economic Armageddon thanks to decades of obscene, irresponsible, and insane levels of spending. And, of course, the icing on the cake: one year of "insanity squared" under a president with a spending addiction on a par with Tiger Woods' need for sex.

There is only one answer, and it isn't blindly putting the GOP back in charge. Or have we already forgotten Tom DeLay, Mark Foley, Duke Cunningham, Jack Abramoff and the countless blunders and disasters of the recent GOP past?

The answer is to VETO the entire U.S. Congress -- Vote Every one of Them Out on Nov. 2. 

Vote against every incumbent in the country (with a few exceptions -- Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, stands out as one of the heroes who tried to stop the insanity). Let's tell the U.S. Congress, "You're fired!" Let's aim to raise the number of unemployed by 400 or more senators and representatives on Nov. 2. That is the message the new ruling party -- the GOP -- will need to hear (and fear) if we are to save this country and preserve our children's and grandchildren's futures.

The end is near. The only question is, will it be the end of D.C. politics as usual, or the end of our country? I know what I will choose. It's time to throw all the bums out in a citizen revolution that will go down in history as the day the people took back their government.

On March 27, Sarah Palin will share the stage with me in Searchlight (Harry Reid's hometown) for the biggest Tea Party in Nevada history. I hope you'll join us.

Let the citizen revolution begin.
