Obama's Budget, an explanation from Ray Stevens. Keep in mind that Obama did present a budget which received zero,...nada,....zilch,......did I say not even one "yes" vote from Congress?
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

2013 - the Year of The Tax?
No doubt that if Barack Obama is re-elected then not only will obamacare continue to stand as the law and bring the increases of taxes down upon the already over burdened American people, but also a new Obama term bring an end to the temporary Bush tax cuts which have been the only government action that has benefitted the middle class.
With Obama winning another term, and despite the poor economy, you will never hear him say (again) that imposing new or higher taxes is the wrong thing to do in a weak economy. You will hear him say things like: "Everyone needs to pay their fair share", then under his breath "and for you rich people that fair share is going to be a much, much higher percentage",.....people making $200,00 or couples making $250,000 or more will be taxed at the 39.5% rate - and remember this tax is just for federal incme tax. It does not include all the other taxes we pay which bring out tax burden to half or hat we make and more.
Don't forget about Joe Biden outright lying at the Vice-Presidential debates when he said "Obama would only raise taxes on people making $1,000,000 a year or more." Joe Biden got a pass from the legacy media about this lie.
The Democrats, trying to paint themselves as looking out for the middle class, pushed a temporary reduction in the Social Security payroll tax, which was very stupid since the relief it provided was small and the social security program that is going bankrupt, now just alittle quicker. But this temp pay roll tax cut was in keeping with their general trait of trying to bankrupt this country. Just look at three main points:
1. No Federal Government budget is three years!!
2. Over $1 trillion in deficit spending per year since Obama came into office.
3. A federal debt, burdening our children and grandchildren, at over $16 trillion and growing every second.
Anyway, when Romney gets elected and the temporary social security payroll tax expires just watch the cockroaches,....I mean the Democrats,....try to paint him as a middle class taxer.

Race in Politics
An Associated Press article, by Jennifer Agiesta and Sonya Ross, titled: Poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks surmises that racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.
In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey. When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election. In both tests, the share of Americans expressing pro-black attitudes fell.
Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans' more favorable views of blacks, yet Andra Gillespie, an Emory University political scientist, says "President Obama's election clearly didn't change those who appear to be sort of hard-wired folks with racial resentment".
Cowboys and Tea Parties Comments: There has been an over use of the race card associated any conservative view, policy stance, or proposal as being racist. In the beginning this tactics by the left certainly caused Conservatives to be very careful about phrasing everything from speches to policy, however with the race card's overuse and with conservative politicians such as Herman Cain exposing the use of the race card to scare and motivate minority voters, the impact of the race card is getting very tiresome.
Americans can certainly dislike, not vote for and even hold Obama in contempt without it being a race issue.
Recently John Sununu said words to the effect that Colin Powell is supporting Obama because he is black. I think he backed off those comments because of the racial accusations, yet 95% of Blacks vote for Obama and nobody discusses the probability that at least some of these are voting their race. It has been put forward that 11% of Americans (presumably White) would not vote for Obama simply because he is Black. Wonder how the percetnage was derived?
The bottom line is that anybody,...anybody who uses race as their determination for who gets their vote is pathetic. This goes for Whites, Blacks, Hispanics,....everyone.
