Sen. Barbara Mikulski is out of touch with the average Marylander. She has been a rubber stamp for Barack Obama's agenda every step of the way. She has voted for the bailouts, Obamacare and trillions in new spending. How does she expect us to ever pay off our national debt? We are depending on the Chinese Communists to finance our debt. We are beholden to our enemies. America is in a precarious situation because we have leaders who are either very ignorant or don't care. Our two ultra-liberal senators (Ms. Mikulski and Sen. Ben Cardin) have actually said the health care bill is going to lower the deficit. Any 6th grader knows that doesn't make sense. The situation is unsustainable and it is inexcusable.

Has anyone ever asked Senator Mikulski how she would balance the budget? We are so far in the hole politicians don't even talk about balancing the budget. It is obvious our current leadership in Washington has no clue as to the damage they are inflicting on our country. Every person born in America today is already $43,000 in debt. Does Senator Mikulski even care? Apparently not, because she never sees a tax and spending bill she doesn't like.

According to the latest polls, Senator Mikulski would win reelection by 21 percentage points if the election were today. I can't believe the citizens of this state are that uninformed. She may win, but the polls are always skewed in favor of the liberals. She won't win by 21 points. Maybe we will all be surprised Nov. 3 and a person with common sense will actually win the election. Go Eric Wargotz!
