MILITARY PAY CUT! CONGRESS FULL OF IDIOTS! Full story on page 3

From what I understand and have heard, there were a lot of military families hurt by the brief shot of idiocy last week by our ever knowledgeable and all-knowing government last week.  I find this a bit puzzling.  What if a company like Ford, or Microsoft, or Google withheld money from their workers paychecks because things were tight, but continued to pay the executives?  There would be so much crap flying through the air you couldn't breathe!  The governor of whatever state would denounce the company.  The senators would demand an investigation.  Every media grabbing liberal support group in the country would be on the headlines every 15 minutes demanding action.  The President would get personally involved to make sure that the money grubbing, power hungry leaders of the company got what was coming to them.

Anybody see the irony?  The government pulls this crap and the only people that even know are the members of the military or their friends & family.  The slime-balls that represent the military still got their paychecks!  A classic case of "go by what I say, not by what I do".  Where's LULAC?  NAACP?  ACLU?  I haven't heard one of 'em say a damn word!

I personally lead by the principle that I won't ever ask somebody to do something that I'm not willing to do myself.  Whatever amount of pay that was withheld from the military's paychecks needs to be matched by every person in federal government.  If you hold an elected position, you better be willing to give up some moolah to make this right!  If you're not willing, you're more of a scum-sucking loser that even I gave you credit for. (and I give you a lot of credit in the scum-sucking losers category)  Maybe, just maybe, it's time for all of you s.o.b.'s to stop worrying about your cars, houses, planes, hookers, pimps, dealers and checkbooks, and START worrying about the people who voted you in in the first place!

And another question...shouldn't the person who sits in the highest position of elected authority in this country be doing something about a)the economy, b)the state of our military, c)a billion other things rather than start trying to get re-elected a year and a half before the election?  I know it's not just the current President.  This is something that has bugged me for years.  They spend half of their term trying to get re-elected so they can serve another half a term!  Frickin ridiculous.

Sometimes it feels good to step on the soap box!
