If Massachusetts isn't a wake up call to fire Rahm and Geitner then what will it take? |
|
Or we can watch what happened in Mass happen all accross America in November.
Obama can 'change' course or watch Dems get removed from power.

1. I assure you that 95% of Massachusetts voters ... |
|
do not even know who "Rahm and Geithner" are.
Start looking inward. This was a local and specific race. The Dems screwed themselves by changing the law in 04 so that Romney couldn't appoint someone to replace Kerry. If they hadn't done that, we wouldn't even be here tonight.

2. +1... this wasn't about Geithner or Rahm |
|
Ask the people who voted for Brown who those two are and most wouldn't know.

5. They may not know who Rahm and Geithner are |
|
but they do know they don't like that things don't seem to moving in a better direction. It doesn't matter if they don't know whose driving if they think we're heading for a cliff.

7. I'm not sure it would help. |
|
... in other than a symbolic way. The damage has already been done, it is practically irreversible now.

9. A teabagger won in Massachusettes |
|
The only course change will be towards the side that appears to be winning. If a Green or Socialist were elected, you would get a leftward tack in the mood of Washington. This will just provoke them to veer more to the right.

10. Here is what those little Wall Street twerps are doing: Scheming about how to divert the blame |
|
onto someone undeserving. They do nothing for the good of anyone but themselves and therefore will never gracefully let go of an ounce of power. They'll tear down everyone around them first. They have no honor.

11. Don't think that you can blame either for the fact that-- |
|
--several prominent Dem state legislators have been caught with their hands in the till. At least that's what I've seen from a number of MA posters here.
