Thank You Massachusetts!

In previous posts I had lambasted the American “sheeple” for not taking any interest in their government, politics, and for taking at face value whatever the “lamestream” media feeds them whether it be FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, or CBS.

Apparently I was wrong as the two million strong voting public of the great state of Massachusetts proved yesterday in electing Republican Scott Brown over Democrat Martha Coakley by an overwhelming majority. This in a state where a Democrat has held on to the senate seat for more than 45 years and where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a margin of 3 to 1, and in a state where President Obama won by more than 25 points! If this isn’t a clear and resounding message to President Obama and the royal elite in the controlling democrat congress that even their own constituents are rebelling then I don’t know what is and they better sit up, get off their high horses and take notice for all their jobs are on the line from today forward, both republican and democrat!

How ironic that it comes exactly one year from President Obama’s inauguration! Is this a message or what!

Does this mean that Massachusetts has turned republican? No it doesn’t. Not in the least. It means that the Average Joe, who is overwhelming Independent today regardless of party affiliation, has finally gone to the window, opened it, and said,”I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” And they showed that yesterday in a die-hard democratic state with their overwhelming vote against a democratic congress and a democratic president who is hellbent on taking America into Socalism!

The holier-than-thou ruling elite thought they had Massachusetts in the bag and paid no heed to the election. “This is Ted Kennedy’s seat”, they said and were so sure of keeping it. After all, Coakley had a 21 point lead just a few weeks ago, and Massachusetts had always been democrat so why pay attention? The “sheeple” have always voted democrat and they will do so again, or so they thought. What an embarrassing slap in the face to Nancy Pelosi, President Obama, Harry Reid and everyone in congress.

Republicans have already started jumping on Scott Brown and embracing him as one of their own and see his victory as their key to victory over a democratic congress later this year.The truth is Scott Brown is more of an independent than a die hard conservative Republican and is just what the country needs right now. In fact we need more of his type! He never said he was a republican nor did he tout it in his campaign and the republican party, thinking he could never win, never supported him so he beholden to no one!

We need more people like Scott Brown who will not hold true to the “party line” and will vote for what is right and not because they have been arm twisted by the party to vote one way or another or who received massive campaign contributions from their party or from special interest groups or from big corporations. If Scott Brown keeps his word, and I hope he will and not succumb to the greed that is Washington, he will be more of a maverick that Senator John McCain could ever hope to be.

One word of caution to the Republicans: Don’t you for one second think this election means that the people prefer you over democrats as your job is just as much in jeopardy as the democrats’. This is not business as usual anymore. The Average Joe is wise to your ways and is beginning to realize, albeit a little late, that you are both two sides of the same coin and will say anything to get elected.

President Obama said what the people wanted to hear, got elected, failed to keep his promise of “the most open government in history”, among others, and he is now paying the price as will many other democrats and probably republicans as the Average Joe realizes we need more Scott Browns than the same old tired people over and over and over again and get nothing but the samo samo corrupt politicians who care not what Average Joe thinks, but does whatever he/she can to line their own pockets.

One must understand that this election was not a referendum against President Obama, it was a referendum against politics as usual. With unemployment at record highs, factories closing and moving offshore at the behest of an approving, rich congress who approved their closing with tax credits, the dollar in the toilet and a national debt reaching into the trillions, the Average Joe finally realizes how crooked both democrats and republicans are. This was a referendum against big government, against politics as usual, against forced socialism, against big pharma and big corporations, against democrats AND republicans, against big bailouts for Wall Street and Goldman Sachs, et al, etc, etc.

The sad part is that poor Martha Coakly will be made the scapegoat when she received no help whatsoever from the democratic party until the very last weekend when they realized they lost their 21 point lead. They were so sure of winning that they felt they need not waste any money on a “done deal”. After panic set in,  it was too little too late. President Obama has now failed four times. He failed in Virginia, he failed in New Jersey, he failed in Copenhagen, and now he has failed in Massachusetts.

Will President Obama get the message? I fear not as he feels he is worshiped by the American people as they elected him, but he should note that it was the Independents that elected him and not the democrats and now the Independents are pissed at “politics as usual” with deals being made behind closed doors, bribes being given to states like Nebraska, unions being bought off with tax breaks for their “Cadillac health programs”, closed door meetings with the big pharmaceutical companies, etc, etc, etc. Blah, blah blah. Failure to heed this message Mr. President will mean your downfall and those of your  party and don’t try and spin it please as the Average Joe is now awake and will not take it anymore. This is not your fathers congress anymore! Get it?

The only we are going to get true change is if we vote all the old, tired bastards out and elect all independents or those that think the way the Average Joe does. It worked yesterday and it can work again. We CAN turn this country around. If Scott Brown stays true to his beliefs and does what he promised it will be a message to all that they can succeed if they campaign on what they truly believe. Only the next nine months will tell.

And those seeking office in congress this year better take heed that the majority of voters today are independent like myself. I may be  a registered Republican, but I have voted against party lines many times and even voted for independents and libertarians. I vote for those I believe think the way I do and everyone should vote that way. The hell with party. They have an agenda and it does not include you! Get that through your head, understand it, and vote for anyone who believes what you believe in. If they don’t live upo to what they promise, vote them out next time.

Keep your word Scott Brown, keep to your principles, do not succumb to the party or greed or bribes or international corporations, and you will, you can, change the face of American politics for your children, our children, your grandchildren and for generations to come. We will truly revert back to a representative republic and not a democracy as Sarah Palin, among others, love to point out and say. Democracy is “mob rule” and that was never more evident than what we have seen with a democratic majority in congress and a democratic president, much as we seen in the 90′s with a republican majority in congress and a republican congress. It doesn’t work. We need checks and balances.

America is a representative republic and you, Scott Brown, can truly epitomize that by being a representative of the people as you promised. You were elected by the people. Now it’s up to you to to prove that we are a government by the people and for the people. Good luck!
