Vote Republican to bring control

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It should because when the American public gave control of our government to one party, they were drunk with power and proceeded to ram their agenda down the throats of America.

Now, I am not saying that I favor the Republicans because they would have done similar had they had the majority of the Dems. I am saying that when one party has control, with no checks or balances, this garbage will flow from Washington.

I will be voting for the Republican Party just to put a halt to this out-of-control government. I hope that they take over Congress just to halt Obama's agenda - repeal health care, put a stop to this foolishness called cap and trade, stop this card-check garbage that no one but the unions want - and to teach this president that he is not a king. He is elected to serve and protect the Constitution, not interpret it to his liking. If he doesn't get the message soon, I feel he will turn out to be a lame-duck, one-term politician.

My only regret is that I won't be able to help put Tom Harkin among the unemployed this election. But I do have a good memory, and I will be looking forward to when I can help in this endeavor.
