Vote For the Candidate Not the Party

It is interesting that since O'Donnell has won, every media outlet including Fox News Continues to run all the things that are wrong with O'Donnell. Clearly the Republican party can be as relentless in their attacks as the Democrats. The only problem is that democrats are only on the attack against republicans while republicans can only show zeal and great offense against their own. When it comes to the opposition they are mealy mouthed. It has turned into a show. The democrats say there is a civil war within the republican ranks and I believe there are right. The only time republicans stand for their own is when they are part of the "good ole boys" club. If you're not a member then the sign reads, "Need Not Apply".

I have yet to hear a good report from the media defending O'Donnell, but then again I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Rather than do their own research they simply get the enemies and friends of a person on to give their spin. I am so tired of spin at this point! The worst thing is that it is everywhere. Even O'Reilly on Fox News has given up referring to his show as the "no spin zone". I suppose he recognizes that he too has a lot of spin and that is just part of the news business.

Where is the real investigative reporting. Fox News, the lone news station willing to say something different than the rest of the media, seems to take the attitude that to criticize someone is being biased no matter how deserved and the rest of the media are determined to protect one point of view and one party no matter how ill deserved it may be. What an insane world we live in.

It is beginning to look like the republicans can no more be trusted to be conservative than the democrats can be trusted not to be socialists and communists.

It is for this reason that what we really need to do is support the person not the party. Both parties are failing us left and right. I find it amazing that only one senator supported Christine O'Donnell out of all of them, and the rest of them seem to be on the attack against her. They all say they want her to win and then busy themselves explaining to everyone all the reasons she won't or can't win. They also have to get in all the jabs of all her shortcomings. At least this has been the case in every instance with Carl Rove. It is like it is more important to him now to defend why he said what he said than it is to see a republican in there.

He and others talk about how important every seat is and then the most the republican party can muster in support is $42,000. That is chump change in today's electioneering.

The republican "good ole boys" club is so mad their RINO, Mike Castle didn't win that they just can't get over it and have to keep going after O'Donnell. They talk out of both sides of their mouths. On the one had they say how important that seat was, as though it was already lost, and how they are behind O'Donnell but with the next breath they're busy telling all of American why she can't or shouldn't be the one to win. They behave as though Mike Castle was the only one in the whole United States that could have or win that seat.

Our politicians, BOTH PARTIES, have such a sense of entitlement to their positions that they can't stand the idea of anyone new in those positions unless they are "sanctioned" with the RNC stamp of approval.

This is just one more reason we need to get every person in congress with this attitude out of congress. They are there for us. Out of 350 million people in the United States they would have us believe there are only 500 people who are actually qualified for their jobs. It is sad what pride this shows.

It is time for these people too go! I believe the democrats are worse than the republicans because of their pervasive Marxist, socialist, communist world views, but it is also a serious probably when you have a class of people who think they were born to rule.

These people need to be made to realize they are not supposed to RULE us they are supposed to REPRESENT us!

I say every time an incumbent comes up for a vote unless they can demonstrate the laws they've voted for and the actions they've taken are to protect and defend the constitution they should not be permitted back in office.
