Thank-You Massachusetts
Never thought the day would come when I would be thanking Massachusetts. It was a shocking defeat for Martha Coakley when Scott Brown won the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Ted Kennedy. The Republican victory ushers in a new era in American politics. This should be a wake-up call for both Democrats and Republicans. No longer are the citizens of this country going to sit idly by while arrogant, condescending politicians declare that they know what is best for free-thinking, freedom-loving Americans.
The liberal mindset currently in Washington is to ignore the majority and appease the few. The message should be loud and clear on both sides of the aisle, “ignore the will of the people and your pompous, political posterior will be ousted from office.”
There is another lesson to be learned from this election. Negative ad campaigning does not work. The majority of Americans are repulsed by this campaign method. We want to know where a candidate stands on the issues, period. If you have nothing more to contribute to your campaign than the contrived faults of a rival candidate then you have nothing to contribute.
Scott Brown will be filling the people’s seat. The new freshman Senator comes to Washington with a clean slate. He has not been tainted by previous administrations or corrupt politics. He has the opportunity to provide a new concept in American politics and that is to represent the people’s best interest.
Who would have thought that it would take Ted Kennedy’s unfortunate death to save America?
