Your Tax Dollars at Work

Posted by stopvotingfordemocrats on Saturday, September 06, 2008 11:52:15
 
The local paper reported today that Caltran and the Alameda County Congestion Management Authority have started construction of a $153 million carpool lane on eastbound I-580 between Pleasanton and Livermore CA.  The purpose of this expenditure is to relieve gridlock on one of the most crowded freeways in the Bay Area.

What a fantastic idea!  Spend all that money so that maybe 1 out of 4 drivers can use the new lane.  Is this an effective use of tax dollars?
 
Several weeks ago, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, which acts as CMA for Contra Costa County CA, announced a startling discovery: the freeways in CCC are congested!  They noted that one way to reduce congestion was to allow more traffic in the carpool lanes.

So now we have an admission by the experts that our freeways are underutilized.  The simplest and most obvious solution is to eliminate the carpool lanes.  Cost: almost nothing.  Announce on Monday that from here on out anybody can use the diamond lanes.

But no, the glorious leaders at CCTA proposed a multi-billion-dollar project to add more carpool lanes along with a complex system of scanners to collect taxes...ahem...tolls from drivers, using FasTrak cards.
 
What are the odds that the CCTA is run by a bunch of Democrats?

Mid-Course Correction

Posted by stopvotingfordemocrats on Saturday, September 06, 2008 11:15:36
 
The local paper reported Wednesday that an eighth-grader in Walnut Creek CA has announced his candidacy for president in 2032.
 
Now, when you plan a trip to the moon, you aim not at the moon when you take off, but where it will be when you land.
 
This young Democrat has apparently missed this concept.
 
If his party achieves its goals, there will be no presidency in 2032, and there will be no democracy.
 
A better plan would be to aim for a seat on the Politburo.

Adverse Health Effect of CO2 Revealed

Posted by stopvotingfordemocrats on Saturday, September 06, 2008 10:52:54
 
The only verifiable health effect of carbon dioxide is that it causes brain damage in some people and turns them into liberals.  They can't think straight, and they babble incessantly about global warming.
 
Well it's time for these lunatics to walk the talk:
 
1. Call your utility provider and have the gas and electricity to your house disconnected.
2. Surrender the keys to your car.
3. Stop breathing.
 
Thank you.

Petunia in the Onion Patch

Posted by stopvotingfordemocrats on Sunday, June 29, 2008 10:54:34 PM
 
In a recent edition of the local newspaper, a reader complained that America's energy policy has been shaped by the "radical and kooky environmentalists, including the global warming nuts" who are "...out to destroy our freedoms and capitalistic system...."

Sadly, that was our ration of truth for the next few weeks.  Global warming -- a ruse concocted by the Democrats -- is not about protecting the environment but about instituting socialism.
 
The paper, normally a fountain of left-wing propaganda, occasionally prints a dissenting opinion in the name of fairness and balance.
 
Presumably, the editor and publisher have been promised high ranking positions in the Politburo when it comes to office.

10. It's not fair that your neighbor has two cows and you only have one.

9. Individual initiative and personal responsibility are not in your playbook.

8. You think adultery, divorce, feminism, promiscuity, abortion, and homosexuality are good for the country.

7. You believe the family is an outmoded social concept.  The government knows what's best for your kids.

6. You long for the day when equal opportunity has been replaced by equal outcomes.

5. You're not aware of any problem that can't be solved by higher taxes and more government control.

4. You realize that global warming is the perfect vehicle for a socialist agenda.

3. You always wanted to live on a farm.

2. You sure do miss those five year plans.

And the number one reason to vote for Democrats in November:

1. You want to hasten the onset of communism in America.
