ELECTION: Heed midterm message

The elections hopefully sent a message not only to the Democrats, like Minnick and others, that when you say you will listen to the voice of the people you had better not lie.

However, having said that, the Republicans who were voted in must hear the same message. This is our government and don't you forget it. We must now work on making Obama a one-termer also. I watched his non-teleprompter press conference and he is still looking to push his socialist agenda. He once before gave a similar speech just prior to the Health Care bill and invited the Republicians to sit down.

He listened along with Pelosi and Reid and then went behind closed doors and bought votes from Kansas, Florida and others. He, like Mr. Minnick, said he would listen to the people and everything would be broadcast live on C-SPAN and it never happened. Just keep telling the same lies over and over again and maybe the people will believe them long enough for him to get his personal agenda in place: Tax and spend and control of the American people by forcing them to purchase insurance and writing them a $700 ticket if they don't buy.

The Constitution is just a piece of old paper that needs to be changed to fit the pipe dreams of Obama and the left. We must continue to be aware of what is going on in our country or lose it!
