Big Government Corporatism In Free Market Clothing
Oct 22, 2009 Corporatism, Politics, Senate
I write this for fear of the return of Big government Republicans in 2010. Republicans are saying Free Market and doing the opposite. I fear who they will support, and I fear who will follow with their votes.
Big Government Cronies are going to preach the Free Market so they can expand Corporatism. This is the plan of the Republican party. Here in Missouri we are seeing our former Senator Jim Talent Start to change his vocabulary to get back his power and wealth at the expense of freedom. He started a website with a freedom movement friendly name Freedom Solutions, American Freedom and Enterprise Foundation. This is really just a Neo-Con attempting to present old failed Neo-Con Bush politics with a new paint job.
From 1993 to 2001 Jim Talent was in the House. In 2002 he was elected to the Senate and stayed there until 2007. The only reason the guy can claim he did not Vote for the Latest bailouts and TARP is because for that short one year period he was out. Jim Talent was one of those sloppy big government Republicans who got us here.
After Jim left the Senate he went on to make a little under 250 thousand in ten months lobbying for special interest groups at Arent Fox. That’s much more than his salary for any given year as Senator or Representative.
Jim Talent voted for Medicaid part D, one of the biggest steps in government controlled health care in a good long time. Most of his records shows a disdain of the Free Market, and repeated votes to control markets and private business. Does he look different than a Democrat? Well he says the word “Free Market” now. He voted against attempts to limit government power in cases of the attempt to limit the waiver authority of the President. He wants to make his own Berlin Wall here in America repeatedly defending a wall on the southern border of the country. Jim Talent supports massive military spending and supported just about anything else the House and Senate Supported through his span in office. He also is a huge supporter of the War on Drugs and has supported the “Combat” legislation that Missouri uses to hunt down people and lock them up. You can look at more of his record at the Washington Post. Click Here
The Republican party establishment loves this guy. I am warning all I suspect Jim Talent is eying that soon to be vacant Senate seat, that my state is not the only one facing this. These Big government Republicans are all over saying pretty words like “tea party” “free market” and “liberty”. So as a warning watch out for Jim Talent and whatever candidates he is supporting.
So, in conclusion I want to warn all of you to be wary and cautious if you support or see anything from “Freedom Solutions“, or any of these Big Government Republicans. Check them out first please. Good ones are hard to find. I fear this site will be a part of the GOP establishment to capitalize on the current political unrest with their classic deceptive practices.
