Hartford Courant Endorses All 5 CT Dems For House

[Mark E. Smith]

Amazing. They even call for the defeat of Christopher Shays, an individual they
have worshiped in the past for his so-called "independence" ..

A Case For Change In Congress

In 1994, voters rightly rebelled against unresponsive, entrenched Democratic
majorities in the U.S. House and senate and put Republicans in charge. Similar
discontent inhabits the land today.

The nation is mired in an unpopular war. Congress exercises no spending
restraint. Lobbyist influence is at high tide. Little has been done to protect the
long-term financial stability of Social security and Medicare or to promote
energy independence. There has been insufficient oversight of the Republican
controlled executive branch. Scandal taints Congress, with members being
sent to prison, forced to resign or under indictment or investigation.

It's time for a change to Democratic control to see if they can do any better.
Divided government has worked well in the past. Three Republican-held seats
in Connecticut are key to whether there will be change or more of the same.
