A Message To All FL-13 Voters...

A Message To All FL-13 Voters:


Taking a look at the FL-13 Congressional Race coming up in 2008 and the great job Congressman Vern Buchanan has done, one has to wonder what Christine Jennings will do this time around?

Why is she even running with recent financial reports showing her Campaign struggling to raise funds?

Buchanan meanwhile raised $503,000, for total a total receipts of $2 million compared to her feeble $479k for the year...

First of all, in an issue that Christine Jennings would not get behind by not signing a Veterans Pledge to help increase the mileage rate the Vets received above the former level of .11 cents per mile, Congressman Buchanan, who did sign that pledge along with Senator Mel Martinez, helped to get the mileage rate changed for the first time in over 30 years to .28 cents per mile and is still working hard to get that rate raised even higher...

Congressman Buchanan also finished the job started by his predecessor, Katharine Harris, in bringing a Veterans Cemetery to the FL-13 District, something which has long been needed...

You've also got to ask yourself what the Jennings IRS problems and her failed lawsuit have done for her chances of getting elected? Has this in fact made her and her Campaign 'damaged goods'?

She has cost the taxpayers money with her legal challenge and lawsuit, something which will not soon be forgotten by the Voters of FL-13, which could have used for much better purposes...

Does this all mean there could be another 'new' Democratic Candidate in the FL-13 Race?

Don't be surprised, because Christine Jennings no longer remains 'electable', in my humble opinion. She has become a liability and not an asset to her own Democratic Party...

From what I've been hearing in the District and 'on the street', people are very happy with the job Congressman Buchanan has been doing and are more than happy to send him back to do more good work for the people in the FL-13 District...

As a Veteran, former Firefighter, and son of a Marine, fighting in the Global War on Terror, I thank Congressman Buchanan for the great job he has done, standing up for those who defend, protect and serve America keeping all of us free and safe...

Respectfully,

Our Future Depends on Oil...
USA Matt Bruce
October 13, 2007
 

SARASOTA, FL. (NMJ/NS/TCA) -


Understand, the current battle we are engaged in is much bigger than just Iraq. What happens in the next year will affect this country and how our kids and grandkids live throughout their lifetime, and beyond.

 

Radical Islam has been attacking the West since the seventh century. They have been defeated in the past and decimated to the point of taking hundreds of years to recover. But they can never be totally defeated.

 

Their birth rates are so far beyond civilized world rates that in time they recover and attempt to dominate again.

 

There are eight terror-sponsoring countries that make up the threat to the West. Two, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, just need firm pressure from the West to make major reforms. They need to decide who they are really going to support and commit to that support.

 

That answer is simple. They both will support who they think will hang in there until the end, and win. We are not sending very good signals in that direction right now, thanks to the Democrats.

 

The other six, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Libya will require regime change or a major policy shift. Now, let's look more closely...

 

Afghanistan and Iraq have both had regime changes, but are being fueled by outsiders from Syria and Iran.

 

We have scared Gaddafi's pants off, and he has given up his quest for nuclear weapons, so I don't think Libya is now a threat.

 

North Korea (the non-Islamic threat) can be handled diplomatically by buying them off. They are starving. That then leaves Syria and Iran.

 

Syria is like a frightened puppy. Without the support of Iran they will join the stronger side. So where does that leave us???

 

Sooner, or later, we are going to be forced to confront Iran, and it better be before they gain full nuclear capability.

 

In 1989, Iran and Iraq shot missiles at each other every day for months. They killed hundreds of thousand of their people. They also gassed each other, know why???

 

It was because they were fighting for control of the Middle East and that enormous oil supply.

 

At that time, they were preoccupied with their internal problems and could care less about toppling the west. Oil prices were fairly stable and we could not see an immediate threat...

 

Well now, the worst part of what we have done as a nation in Iraq is to do away with their military capability. Now, Iran has a clear field to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them.

 

They are convinced they will win because the US is so divided, and the Democrats (who now control Congress and may control the Presidency in 2008) have openly said we are

Pulling out.

 

Do you have any idea what will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran, which they will obviously do if we pull out???

 

It is not the price of oil we will have to worry about. Oil will not be made available to this country at any price. I personally would vote for any Presidential candidate who did what JFK did with the space program. That is to declare a goal to bring this country to total energy independence in a decade.

 

Yes, it is about oil. The economy in this country will totally die if that Middle East supply is cut off right now. It will not be a recession. It will be a depression that will make 1929 look like the "good-old-days".

 

One way or another, Iran must be forced to join modern times and the Global community. It 'may' mean a real war--if so, now is the time to talk first and put World pressure on them, before we face a nuclear Iran with the capacity to destroy Israel.

 

The human race is a war-like population, and if a country is not willing to protect itself, it deserves the consequences.

 

Nuff-said!!!

 

Now, my last comments will get to the nerve. They will be on politics. I am an Independent, not a Republican nor a Democrat. George Bush has made enough mistakes as President to insure my feelings about that for the rest of my

Life. However, the Democratic Party has moved so far left, they have made me support those farther to the right. I am a conservative who totally supports the Constitution of this country.

 

The only difference between the United States and the South American third world dictator infested and ever-changing South American governments in our hemisphere is our U.S. Constitution.

 

This Republic, note I did not say Democracy, is the longest standing the world has ever known, but it is vulnerable. It would take so little to change it through economic upheaval...

 

There was a time when politicians could disagree, but still work together. We are past that time, and that is the initial step toward the downfall of our form of government.

 

I think that many view Bush-hating as payback time. The Republicans hated the Clintons and now the Democrats hate Bush. So, both parties are putting their hate toward their willingness to do anything for political dominance, which includes lying and always taking the opposite stand just for the sake of being opposed.

 

Just how good is that for our country???

 

You can choose to listen to enriched newscasters, and people like John Murtha (he is no war hero), Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry (same as Murtha), Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and

on-and-on to include the fools in Hollywood if you like. If you do, your conclusions will be totally wrong.

 

The reason that I write, have my own Talk Show, appear on other radio talk shows, and do everything I can to denounce those people is simple.

 

They are putting their thirst for political power and quest for victory in 2008 above what is best for this country.

 

I cannot abide that. Pelosi clearly defied the Logan Act by going to Syria , which should have led to imprisonment of three years and a heavy fine. Jane Fonda did more to prolong the Vietnam war longer than any other human being (as acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writing before he died). She truly should have been indicted for treason.

 

This country has started to soften by not enforcing its laws, which is another indication of a Republic about to fall. All Democrats, along with the Hollywood elite, are sending us headlong into a total defeat in the Middle East, which will finally give Iran total dominance in the region. A lack of oil in the near future will be the final straw that dooms this Republic.

 

However, if we refuse to let this happen and really get serious about an energy self-sufficiency program, this can be

avoided.

 

I am afraid, however, that we are going in the opposite direction of where we need to be headed. If we carry through with allowing Iran to take control of the Middle East, continue to refuse development of nuclear energy, refuse to allow drilling for new oil, and continue to do nothing but oppose everything President Bush suggests, it will be over in terms of what we view as the good life in the USA.

 

Now, do I think that all who do not support the war are 'Un-American'? Of course not! They just do not understand the importance of total victory in that region...

 

Another failure of George Bush is his inability to explain to the American people why we are there, and why we MUST win.

 

So either we become Energy self sufficient and do what needs to be done to secure our own economic future, or we prepare to go to war to continue doing and being the same way we have been, depending on Foreign Oil for decades.

 

I prefer the first choice, how about you???
