The REAL party of traditional values
No nation has unilaterally invaded another while lying about it's reasons and using propaganda to contabulate the invasion with another agression that was totally unrelated since NAZI Germany.
They're not the party of fiscal responsibility anymore. They want you to believe that Dems" tax and spend," but they cut and spend and spend and spend.
They claim to be the party of "small government" yet they have systematically amassed control for their single party and power for the Executive branch that is unprecidented. They've revoked civil liberties of all kinds especially privacy, and hope to intrude on the most personal aspects of our lives- that's not less obtrusive government, that's totalitariansim.
Where they want less government is in oversight and regulation of massive corporate interests. This is the unscroupulously opportunistic agenda of an oligarcical class masked in the palattable concept of "globalism."
President Clinton ran on the promise of a New Covenant for
America's forgotten working families. After twelve years of Republican
presidents, America faced record budget deficits, high unemployment, and
increasing crime. President Clinton's policies put people first and resulted in
the longest period of economic expansion in peacetime history. The Deficit
Reduction Act of 1993 — passed by both the House and Senate without a single
Republican vote — put America on the road to fiscal responsibility and led to
the end of perennial budget deficits. Having inherited a $290 billion deficit in
1992, President Clinton's last budget was over $200 billion in surplus. The
Clinton/Gore Administration was responsible for reducing unemployment to its
lowest level in decades and reducing crime to its lowest levels in a
generation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democrat who led us out of the Great Depression and through WWII once said, "if you want to live like a Republican, you need to vote like a Democrat.
Take back your party Republicans, throw the "neocons" out, send the Bush Administration a message, either don't vote this November, or vote for Democrats or Independents.
Democrats, take back America, not for control, not for revenge, just for balance and logic and the real values and principles that the United States was founded on.
Over two hundred years ago, our Party's founders decided that wealth and social
status were not an entitlement to rule. They believed that wisdom and compassion
could be found within every individual and a stable government must be built
upon a broad popular base...The late Ron Brown — former Chairman of the
Democratic Party — put it best when he wrote, "The common thread of Democratic
history, from Thomas Jefferson to Bill Clinton, has been an abiding faith in the
judgment of hardworking American families, and a commitment to helping the
excluded, the disenfranchised and the poor strengthen our nation by earning
themselves a piece of the American Dream. We remember that this great land was
sculpted by immigrants and slaves, their children and grandchildren."Thomas
Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in 1792 as a congressional caucus to
fight for the Bill of Rights and against the elitist Federalist Party.*
It's time to fight again. The first President Bush and his advisors tried to paint the Democrats as a party of elitist "boutique liberals," and insinuated that we were controlled by Hollywood (once upon a time that was also a thinly veiled antisemetic insinuation). But think, from MASSIVE deficit inducing tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of the population to their campaign to repeal the estate tax, to the war profiteering of Haliburton and the Carlyle Group, the corruption of Enron, to all time high oil company profits, today's Republicans want us to believe that they're the NASCAR loving, blue-collar, grass roots, fundamentalis Christian party, when really they are more elitist than any other group in our nation's history.
We can't change the direction of our country and return to our true values unless we gain control of the Congress and Senate in 2006. Please vote and encourage everyone you know to vote and vote for Democrats. If you haven't registered to vote yet, register. And get everyone you know to register Democrat.
Some of my best friends are Republican, please PLEASE, send the neocons a clear message. Re-register independent or better yet Democrat. PLEASE vote Democrat. Congressmen only serve for 2 years, if you're disapointed with the Democrat, by all means, rejoin the Repubblicans and throw our candidates out again in 2008, but you have to see that your party has been stolen from you. Vote Democrat and save the Republican party you used to know.

While people such as Joyce Schulte's youngest son benefit from this, we all pay the price for it. It is time to start being more up front and honest with the American people again, and we can start by restoring Iowa Quality to Congress.
I will be honest and upfront. Joyce Schulte won't vote for ever increasing deficit spending while giving tax cuts to the upper two percent of the population. When Warren Buffet says no to a tax cut, it would seem that it is, to say the least, fiscally unwise to pass said tax cut, while increasing the national debt to ever higher ceilings.
I will ask Schulte's youngest son whether he profits at the expense of our sons and daughters, husbands and wives, and even fathers and mothers, in an ill conceived and ill advised war based on lies, while giving ever increasing open ended unbid contracts to the Vice-President's former employer. I will even ask him whether the services he provides were outsourced from a previous governmental organization.
Even more, I will ask whoever made the previous posting to reveal themselves for the prevaricator they really are.
Stop the madness brought to you by six years of Republican administration and send Joyce Schulte and other Democrats to Congress.
Schulte's Campaign Manager
This follows along the same line that when Bush increased the military budgets, much of that money did not go to our people in uniform (doesn't Schulte have another son in the Air Force?).
That money goes to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, and the like. Meanwhile, those brave souls risking their lives are rewarded meagerly while so many on staff at the contracting companies collect big checks in suburbia. The work they do is good - don't get me wrong - but the disparity between the reward for those risking their lives and those cutting deals at the Pentagon shouldn't be as great as they are.
