Democrats not
rolling over ...just yet…
This morning on the way to the office, I
stopped at a bakery and bought a cake and
had “Go, Scott, Go” iced on it……There are
several yellow dog democrats in our
area….they refused to eat even one bite. I
told them it was only chocolate, not crow,
but to no avail. It was also noticeable
cooler in the halls all day as well. Guess
they can’t take a joke.
The spin de jure’ is that what happened on
the 20th in Massachusetts was just a
‘regional issue’ and wasn’t to be taken as a
national referendum on the policies of the
present administration. The blame started
early in the evening before the polls closed
and have lasted all through the night and
most of today. If I looked hard enough I
could probably find some commentary from
someone blaming everything on George W.
Bush. It’s a shame old George wasn’t around
in 1941 as I feel certain FDR could have
blamed Pearl Harbor on something George had
done or said.
Last night I thought I could hear him
(George W.) laughing from Dallas and I’m
over 100 miles away. Who could blame him?
Anyway, what Scott Brown has done is truly
an American miracle. His ability to overtake
a 30 point lead just thirty days ago and win
by 5 points is a stunning 35 point
turnaround. The liberals can run around all
day long telling themselves that what
happened in the Bay state was just an
anomaly and doesn’t really mean anything. I
hope this is the posture they adopt and keep
believing for the rest of this year. Keep
believing that the folks in Nebraska or Ohio
or Utah aren’t concerned over the shady
deals which have been forced on us these
past 12 months and you’ll be in the
unemployment line next January.
Their elitist attitudes and ‘do as I say,
not as I do’ mentality has awakened a
sleeping tiger in the fabric of average
America. We aren’t the richest, or the
poorest…but the middle of this country. The
ones who work, pay their taxes, raise their
kids, take care of their relatives, and for
the most part try to live quiet lives
without any interference by the federal
government. Don’t get me wrong, we believe
in a federal government, but one that knows
who they work for and what their job is all
about.
Do you think the word ‘representation’ means
anything to the majority of these
congressmen and women? I’m hard pressed to
believe that it does. The rallying cry heard
in 1776 of ‘no taxation without
representation’ is ringing throughout this
land. I’m sure it was heard across the
country last night and today.
When the speaker (small letters) of the
house of the United States says that she
believes anyone attending the summer tea
party rallies… ‘Needs to be investigated and
questioned’…just because we are not all
marching in lock step to the drumming coming
out of Washington D.C….it’s time to move on
and put these people out to pasture. They
have lost touch with reality and are living
in some parallel universe, but certainly not
the one most of us are currently
experiencing.
While the Massachusetts Senate victory is
indeed impressive, we must not sit on our
laurels and think we have won the war. We
have indeed won a battle, but trust me we
are up against a formidable enemy to our
Capitalistic way of life and we cannot quit.
No, we must press on and change the
direction and mentality of not only stubborn
Democrats, but double speaking Republicans
as well. No one should be immune from our
goal of having a country that works for all
of us, not just select groups with back room
deals or special incentives.
Fault can be left at the door steps of both
parties without any guilt, but this should
be the United States of America…not the
Divided States. We should be proud of
January 19th. It was a clarion call to arms
for a new and fresh mentality for all of us.
We must labor on and continue to rally, now
is not the time to stop.
