The party of No?

Moments ago on the Senate floor, GOP Sen. Tom Coburn gave a rousing defense of the “Party of No.”
“We’re accused of being the party of no,” he said. But “no is a wonderful word. When your child is misbehaving, you say no. When someone’s stealing liberty, you say no…Saying no at the right time saves lives. Saying no at the right time saves money…Saying no at the right time saves liberty.”

What about us?

In the 2008 election, democrats ran a campaign for change.  Well, guess what, change is what we got.

It was only September when the national unemployment rate climbed to a record 9.8%.  Here in Fayette county, unemployment was recently recorded at 7.4%.  Although the lowest unemployment rate in the state, job growth is still negative.  The climate is still bad for business and our elected leaders fail to act. 

We need leaders in congress who represent our values here at home.  What about us?  Lexington was recently ranked as one of the best places to launch a small business.  What if our elected leaders at the federal level embraced this?  What if, instead of limiting growth by spending, our leaders embraced growth and fought for it.  What if they got it:  you can’t spend your way out of dept. 

Some change from democrats, despite the obvious:
