The Massachusetts Senatorial election brought out the very best and worst that both parties had to offer. There was some real world backbiting, good old fashioned in the gutter campaigning, lots of over confidence on the one side, lots of determination on the other and in the end lots of Congressmen and Senators running for cover and trying to see how they could align themselves with the new kid on the block. I have never seen so many Democratic Congressmen and Senators distance themselves from any President past or present as quickly as they have. They have gone from the ultra confident 'we're going to pass bills and shove legislation down your throats and we don't care what you think because we have a super majority so we can do all of the closed door backroom deals we want,' to the Health Care initiative really wasn't clear and the American people have a right to be informed step by step as to what we are proposing and we feel there needs to be much more discussion.
The Republicans on the other hand, though gloating for a few hours are now sucking up to anyone and everyone to include the President himself. To the man they all say they really like the President and think he is a fine fellow and hope he moves a little to the center and they wish him a very successful term and hope everything settles down enough for him to decide if he wants to run for a second term, which translates to; they think he's a Socialist jagoff and that they hope all of his programs backfire on him and that he is run out of office in disgrace after he gets caught having an affair with a tall thin very white woman. The Republican electorate have gone on and on ad-nauseum about how they relate to the common man and how they are proud of all of the Republican voters who came out and made their voices heard, when it was INDEPENDENTS who saved the day and if these slime balls are not extremely careful they will all be the next group to be shown the door. I have never seen so many phony looks of sincerity as I have this last couple of days when the New Media interviews these people looking for their take on the weeks events.
We have an opportunity and in my estimation an obligation to clean house in Washington in this off year election as well in 2012, I prefer non lawyers who are conservative Independents myself.
