I have not put anything on this blog in a long time.  I have been spending too much time on facebook to blog.  But, I feel the need to blog.  I am posting an item I put on facebook yesterday and I intend to spend some time pontificating on things political, cause my wife thinks I do too much of that on facebook.
Here is a letter I wrote to John Boehner after receiving a RNC survey and an appeal for money.

I received a Republican Party Survey with a letter from John Boehner. I opted out of the Survey and instead sent Boehner a personal letter. See below.

December 12, 2013 SURVEY REGISTRATION NUMBER
1015.19.3516
John Boehner
Speaker

Dear Speaker Boehner

I am responding to your letter “Truth about Republicans Survey”

The truth is, currently, I cannot tell much difference between Republicans and Democrats. Neither party has a lock on the truth. Your debasement of the grassroots, better known as the Tea Party, is not a lot different than the vile crap that comes out of the Democratic party.

I agree with most of what you want me to say on the survey. However, I do not see the Republican party doing much about the out of control spending. The was I see it, the budget bill presented by Ryan is a lot of smoke and mirrors, and still spends way too much. I would like to see you have the balls to really come up with ways to stop the insane growth of government. Maybe all you and your professional politicians should offer to take a 5% pay cut across the board, give up the millions you receive in perks, and then talk about cutting each and every federal agency budget by the same 5%. I don't think is would hurt anyone in DC to give a little back for living so high on the hog for so long.

Why have you not stood up and told Obama that the Keystone pipeline will be built, forthwit, and if he objects, cut funding for the White House? You do know that the House holds the purse strings, or did you forget it while pissing and moaning about the Tea Party Patriots?

So, I did not fill out your survey. I have been a small contributor to the Republican Party for many years, have always considered myself a Republican, and have served this country in the United States Air Force for over 20 years, thru cutbacks, and crappy leaders (in DC) and stayed the course. Now after seeing what your budget will do to the military, I can no longer contribute to a party such as the Republican party has become. I will still vote mostly Republican, but if my choice is a Tea Party Republican or a establishment Republican, you can bet your ass I will vote for the Patriot, not the professional.
