As you can tell from the title of this post I find the republicans despicable in the light of the recent upset in Delaware. Christine O'Donnell wins over Mike Castle for the republican seat and rather than the republicans get behind her and at least take the seat from the democrats they determine to make it very public that they are not going to support her.
It is quite clear that the republicans will only abide the Tea Party as long as it does what it's told. Their hope has been to co-opt the Tea Party. We saw the same thing happen in NY during that fateful day when they first began to realize the Tea Party was a force to be reckoned with.
They have determined like the democrats that if they can't control it they're going to try to crush it. The fact that they wouldn't support O'Donnell who clearly represents conservative values and has the support of the people indicates that they have another agenda than the conservative one.
This alone is a good reason to be ever so careful to not simply support a person for office simply because they are republican. They were telling O'Donnell to stand down despite the fact that Mike Castle is one of the most liberal republicans in office and is hardly any different from a democrat.
The republican party clearly needs new leadership that represents the will of the American people. Just the fact that they were telling O'Donnell to stand down indicates they do not represent the will of the people but some other agenda they don't want to admit too.
They, like the democrats are finally starting to show their progressive colors as well.
It has taken the Tea Party to bring them out of the shadows. I believe as the primaries and midterm elections take place we are going to see more instances of the republicans doing what they will because they are more concerned about winning than doing what's right. They don't see that doing what's right is what they need to win. This is the reason the republicans and the democrats are more or less always in equal numbers.
The republicans clearly have not gotten the message that we really want something different. Not just different from what the democrats are bringing to the table but different from what the republicans have been bringing as well.
To be honest at this point I wouldn't even care if the democrat in Delaware won the seat. Just the fact that we've gotten rid of someone who thinks he has a RIGHT to that seat is a good thing. Apparently the republican party as a whole thought he had a right to it as well; not even just that the republicans should have it but that Mike Castle should have it.
We need new blood in Washington and we need all our representatives to know if they don't do what we want we'll vote them out. People are not going to stay in Washington for decades anymore unless they are truly doing what the people want them to do.
It is for this reason I can only hope we get rid of Barbara Box, Diane Feinstein, Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangle and all the rest who feel entitled to their positions.
Any representative who would vote for a bill without reading it is a representative we DON'T NEED in office. We can find better people than they are. The level of irresponsibility that sort of thing indicates is enough all by itself to get rid of them.
THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!
