Massachusetts vote says People serious about change
To all you arrogant elitists in Washington, D.C., do you remember the Tea Parties from last year? We rallied and told you we wanted no part of stimulus spending, expanded government and government-run health care. You didn't listen, and called us right-wing extremists and mobsters.
During the August recess, you had town-hall meetings, and we told you we didn't want huge government spending, expanded government and government-run health care. You didn't listen, and called us right-wing extremists, mobsters and Nazis.
We took the governors' elections in Virginia and New Jersey in November. Once again, you didn't listen.
The Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy had been in Democratic hands since 1952, in a state that hadn't elected a Republican senator (a liberal) since 1972. We took the seat in a state won by President Obama by 26 percentage points in the November 2008 presidential election.
Democrats ran their 2008 campaign on "transparency." Legislation would be debated on C-SPAN, with bipartisan support, and it would be posted on the Internet for at least 72 hours so people could read it. Instead, negotiations went behind closed doors; no Republicans need apply. Legislation was brought to the floor and voted on before anyone had time to read it.
If we can take the Senate seat in Massachusetts, there is not a safe Democratic congressional seat in the country. Reps. Jim Himes, 4th District, Chris Murphy, 5th District, Rosa DeLauro, 3rd District, John Larson, 1st District, and Joe Courtney, 2nd District, are you getting the message yet? I suggest you start paying attention to the people if you want to continue your political careers past Nov. 2, 2010.
Enjoy those Georgetown parties while you can. We're taking back our country.

You sound kind of like the mentally ill homeless man I pass on my way to work who thinks he is Napoleon Bonaparte
ReplyDeleteBe careful where you establish your base, and be careful what you wish for
ReplyDeleteTo both of you - The truth hurts doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo you don't like the government getting involved in health care? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI guess this means you want no part of Medicare and you think that there should be no such thing as a VA hospital. Right?
Oh, and also, if you don't want the government getting between people and their doctors, we can safely assume that you are pro-choice, right?
Will you have any answers for those points or are you just going to say "The truth hurts"?
Tea Parties? Listen to Tea Parties? All 10 of you?
ReplyDeleteTown Halls? Listen to rude people that purposely went to these to obstruct and shout? Not a chance.
If you really think the recent Dem setbacks have anything to do with the Republican or Conservative message, then you need to stop smoking the Palin Pipe... There was no way Obama was going to recover this economy faster than public expectations required (no matter what he said), and it was almost certain that when he didn't, Republicans would begin claiming the reason for his support drop was because Obama was out of touch. People that are actually paying attention don't fall for your rhetoric, and those of us that believe in accountability refuse to let the previous 8 years of mis-management be forgotten.
Pretty common game you're playing. Just waiting for you to invoke the words "Liberty" and "Tyranny" a handful of times in your blog to completely confirm you've drunk the Koolaid.
Hey, Tommy Boy, glad you stopped by and put in your two cents. Go back to my Weds. January 20 post " Hey, You Arrogant Elitists......." and check out the picture in front of the Capital. All 10 of us? Did you have trouble with math in school? I don't know what school you went to, but in my school that looks like a lot more than 10 people!
ReplyDeleteRemember the Tsunami in Indonesia a few years ago? It's coming again. The Massachusetts election was the earthquake that started it and the tsunami will wash over the Democrats on November 2, 2010, especially since they seem to not have a clue as to the mood of the American people about their Marxist agenda. Why don't you make a note in your calendar and let me know on November 3 how well the Democrats did? I'll be waiting to hear from you. I don't know but the feeling I get from your comment is one of desperation.
