			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve decided it is time to re-engage with politics in my life.  I do <em>not</em> like the way that things are going.  I&#8217;ve always been center-right, but since Reagan I&#8217;ve pretty much voted and not much else.  So what have I gotten for my inaction?</p>
<p>Eight years of Bill Clinton, almost 4 years of Al Gore (shudder), and 8 years of a weak George Bush.  A congress lead by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, who do not seem to know how to lead, but only to blame.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not happy with my own party <em>at all.</em>  But what alternative do I have?  A party that would rather see a weakened America, with good paying jobs shipped overseas so as not to offend the radical environmentalist wing of their party?  A media willing to lie to get their candidate elected?  A nearly trillion dollar bailout because the Democrats created a system that required and encouraged and enabled banks to make bad loans to people who shouldn&#8217;t have gotten them?</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t continue being part of the problem, I&#8217;ve got to start being part of the solution, or at least to stop enabling the corruption that is destroying our country.</p>
