Pendulum has reached its left margin As a former resident of Massachusetts, I never expected them to elect a republican to fill Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. What a shocker. And the ultimate irony is: the democrat controlled MA legislature passed the law requiring a special election a few years back during Romney’s tenure to prevent GovRomney from appointing republicans to fill vacant seats. So the dems in Mass did it to themselves. LOL Cal Beverly was right. Buyers’ remorse on President Obama has officially set in. The pendulum has reached the left limit of its swing. The swing back toward the center is gaining momentum. The people have realized they were sold a pack of lies about “hope, change and transparency” in 2008 and they are fed up. But President Obama still doesn’t get it. In the aftermath of Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts, President Obama said, “One thing that I regret this year is that we were so busy just getting things done and dealing with the immediate crises in front of us, that I think we lost some of, of, you know, speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are.” You’ve got to be kidding. How out of touch can he possibly get? After nine hundred and eleven speeches and 42 news conferences last year, the American people are tired of being spoken “to” by President Obama. It is time for POLITICIANS TO LISTEN. We don’t need politicians to tell us about core values. WE ALREADY KNOW THEM. Our core values are the ones that made America great - not the politically correct values being forced down our throats by this administration, Reid & Pelosi. Health care is NOT a RIGHT. It is a privilege that is earned. President Obama even blamed the election of Scott Brown, NOT on the events of the past 1-2 years, but on the events of the last 8 years. More Bush bashing. OMG. How self-deluded can one man possibly be??? Like it or not, the election of Scott Brown was a referendum on the policies and direction of the Obama administration and Congress (republicans and democrats alike). Because our current Congress will never pass any new law that puts a limit their term of office, it is time for the American people to force term limits DOWN THEIR THROATS. It is time to enact term limits for all national level politicians. Every politician should get ONE six year term. That’s it. No more career politicians. If you can string together a House seat, a senate seat, and the Presidency, fine. You must be doing something right. But that will be the exception, not the rule. We don’t need any more Kennedys, Thurmonds, Byrds, Bidens or McCains serving multiple decades. We need selflessly motivated and enthusiastic citizens who are in touch with average Americans and want to be elected so they can do their civic duty to improve our nation - not improve their own personal power, coffers or sense of grandiose self-importance.
