Letter: It’s time to vote McClintock out of office
To the community,
So, you voted for a congressman, Tom McClintock, who promised to curb government spending. According to your news sources (Fox) the deficit continues to grow and the excessive spending has not stopped at all, even though the House of Representatives is supposed to appropriate all the funds for the government.
Perhaps Tom McClintock’s method of blocking everything and saying no to anything did not work after all. Perhaps it would have worked better if there had been some Congress people that were willing to work together and craft a solution that headed us in the right direction instead of just voting “no, no, no”. Those all-or-nothing Congress people like McClintock created the present total gridlock in our government.
Republicans block anything the Democrats propose and Democrats block anything Republicans bring forth. And it will not matter who becomes president. If congress remains as deadlocked as it is now, the government will continue to be as ineffective and wasteful as it is now – nothing will change or get done for another two years. And we, the citizens of this country, will pay the price.
If you are serious about curbing excess government spending and if you are serious about creating jobs in our region, there is an alternative to Tom’s “NO, NO, NO” policies.
Take a serious look at John Uppal. He is a moderate running against Tom McClintock and he is eager to talk and work with anybody who wants to move the government out of its morass. The tactic of voting “no” on everything did not curb government spending and most certainly did not create any jobs. Perhaps electing someone willing to listen to and work with the other side would give us a better chance to get out of the current recession.
Sincerely,
Urs Schuler, Placerville
AGREED!
Vote out the party of obstruction!
And,
OBAMA BY 6-8 POINTS IN NOVEMBER!!!
“The tactic of voting “no” on everything did not curb government spending and most certainly did not create any jobs. ” True — it just made things worse. The Republicans had just one goal — to get rid of Obama — and that is all they have worked for. Four years of spoiled brat behavior, wasting valuable time, and at the worst possible time — a four year long tantrum.
Democracy is like 2 wolves and a sheep, voting on what’s for dinner
Yep, what we need is to keep our communist in power! Let’s keep liberal/communists crushing America! Bring it to it’s knees!
Marlene that’a crazy talk, but to be expected from the Obama haters. As many Republicans nowadays, they think the history of the USA started with President Obama. Remember GW and unfunded wars, drug plan unpaid for and don’t forget 9/11 on his watch. On topic, McClintock must go, he touts the party line with no independent thinking.
west slope rules, tahoe side not so much.
Yeah, what Marci said.
As a small biz this administration has been best for me. Cash for clunkers helped me upgrade fleet, payroll tax break for 2011 helped. Fire congress and senate.
I still want health care reform and all the GOP will do is nothing.
They stated from the start of the Obama term they would drag their feet, and they have. Fire all of them. Especially to rid of the MCclintoc robo calls we all have gotten.
Remember folks, it is the lesser of evils when picking politicians for office. Too much money involved.
Stop the super pacs and tune that network TV out and vote, either way. Just participate.
somewhere in this discussion is missed the fact that the other side of the aisle actually possessed a super majority.
Our economy is tanking, China is winning.
“Democracy is like 2 wolves and a sheep, voting on what’s for dinner.” Actually, such an arrangement can work — if the sheep is well armed, which is why we have a second amendment.
