What statement will a WIN for Scott Brown of Massachusetts Make to the Democrat party ?

Will it tell them its time for a change ?
Will it tell them that your going in the wrong direction ?
Will they just blow it off and still do what ever they want ?
Will it knock them down a little ?

What do you think ???

Answer: It will be a statement to both parties that Americans will no longer stand for incompetence, corruption and legislation that makes America less and less competitive in the global marketplace daily.

A win for Scott Brown is only a start in a new direction. It's very clear that President Obama and Democrats in Congress still don't get the message, which is why citizens across the country need to recall several sitting US Senators and Congressmen.

Just quickly, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Barbara Boxer, Max Baucus, Chuck Schumer, Kristin Gilibrand, Arlen Spector, and John Kerry are logical targets for recall by the voters. The point is to identify who is vulnerable right now and go after his or her seat relentlessly. It doesn't matter, for example, that Harry Reid is facing a re-election bid in November. We will make him defend his seat twice and spend every dime he can raise and the some if he wants to remain a professional politician. The same is true for Gilibarnd and Dodd. This will give Independent and Republicans who challenge for those seats twice the visibility and twice the opportunity to win those seats in November. In addition, those Senators who are most likely to lose his/her re-election bid in November will be put into the position of having to raise funds they can't raise without selling out yet again to special interest groups.

The same strategy needs to apply to the House. The representative from Arkansas who just announced his retirement, and all others like him, need to be recalled immediately for the same reasons. They can't win, they can't raise money, and it gives the Independent/Republican candidate double the exposure and twice the chances to win the seat in November. In addition, if Snyder et al decide to defend their seats, then they will be forced to spend all the campaign funds that they normally get to take with them at retirement for future political purposes. You can call this a 40% excise tax on political campaign accounts if you like.

Each and every House member who is vulnerable, particularly those in swing districts who won for just the first time due to President Obama's popularity in 2008, should be targeted for recall as well as the House leadership. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer et al need to be forced to defend their seats in light of their support of the horrendous health care reform bill and their failed economic stimulus plan, and their continuing failure to cut taxes, reform entitlements, and balance the budget.

If you want to wait around to see if a miracle occurs, then be my guest. If, on the other hand, you believe as I do that they are all professional politicians who are looking out for themselves first and foremost and that you and your future is a distant second, then the time to act decisively is right now.

Timing is everything. The time to take back both houses of Congress is right now. No waiting around until November. We strike now to recall all Senators and Congressmen who are vulnerable to recall and win every single special election.

And Curt Schilling, if you happen to be listening, it would be an honor for me to sign Senator Kerry's recall petition. You may not want to run for the US Senate for very good reasons, but the country may need you to run. So think about it.

And for all those special interests out there, we will watching and counting. Every dollar you raise for these corrupt and incompetent professional politicians will be duly noted.

We need to vote for the change we want, and it begins today. See you at the polls!

Should all the members of Congress be fired?

Simple yes or no answers the question.
future idiot - did I mention party. The reason the question was asked, was because MSNBC had a poll out the other day that said 75% said yes. You know that far right leaning MSNBC!

Answer: Future stated: No - term limits thwart the will of the public, who should be able to vote for the candidate of their choice, not be dictated to by Republicans who they can and cannot vote for.

No just dictated by the democrats hmmm?

in 2004 Kennedy said it was not fair a Governer could pick a person to fill a vacant seat....but now he changes his mind....

Kennedy asked Massachusetts lawmakers to change state law to give Gov. Deval Patrick, a fellow Democrat and supporter of President Barack Obama, the ability to appoint an interim replacement to Kennedy's seat should Kennedy be unable to continue serving.

Under state law, an election is required within 145 to 160 days after a Senate seat becomes vacant.

oh NOES!

The state last changed its succession law in 2004 to require the special election. Before that, the governor was allowed to name a successor.

Kerry, the other Senator from the state, was running for President in 2004, and Mr. Kennedy wanted the law changed so the Republican Governor at the time, Mitt Romney, could not name Mr. Kerry's replacement. "Prodded by a personal appeal from Senator Edward M. Kennedy," reported the Boston Globe in 2004, "Democratic legislative leaders have agreed to take up a stalled bill creating a special election process to replace U.S. Senator John F. Kerry if he wins the presidency." Now that the state has a Democratic Governor, Mr. Kennedy wants to revert to gubernatorial appointments

Selective memory means it didnt happen.....
