Special Interest Groups

Status: Ticked off at FDR.

FDR pioneered a brilliant political strategy, special interest groups.  A politician supports one particular group so that the group will vote for them.  FDR did this with multiple groups.  B.O. put funding for special interest groups in the stimulus package.  I call him B.O. because he stinks.  What's worse is that the special interest groups that he's helping is teacher unions.

This article points out how exactly unions are special interest groups.  Unions support democratic candidates.  What do the candidates give in return?  How about some nice, green tinted pictures of Benjamin Franklin.  Where do they get the money?  Well, they take some from the tax payers and borrow some from China.  Of course borrowing from China will get us kicked in the butt.  But my point is that in a way, B.O. is now forcing us to make contributions to his campaign.

Is B.O. really above Washington?  Not at all.  We need to tell people about this funding of special interest groups.  Many were deceived by B.O. and they need to realize their mistake.  Some will still cling to their messiah like a Pennsylvanian clings to his their guns and religion.  (Please note that I said "his" instead of "his or her".)  By the way, Pennsylvanians are angry and bitter at politicians, and that is something worth being angry over.
