One Senate Seat On The Way To More
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Now that the “what if” has become “what will happen from here” our attention needs to turn to making more celebrations like Senator-elect Brown held in Massachusetts last night. The way in which his campaign surged through hard-work, organization and teaming effectively with independent voters to deliver the critical win should teach us lessons we need to put into play for our own efforts in November.
It is interesting to read the ideas being expressed by those who believe that the keys to the upset was the Democrats inability to move farther to the left than their socialistic actions have already taken them. It will also be telling to see how the legislative process unfolds in Washington, D.C. and the extent to which party leaders will continue to advance their agenda.
From what we’ve seen already transpire, with the manner of which the health payment legislation got through the U.S. House and then was wheeled through the behind-closed-door arrangements that Senator Reid orchestrated – whatever new schemes are implemented will not be a surprise. Ideally, the in-your-face attitude of the Democratic party leaders will further alienate real people into seeing the expansion of government’s intrusion for what it is – power wielded for the sake of power by the inside the Beltway elitists.
The track record of the ruling party (in control of the national legislative branch since 2006...in spite of their finger pointing at Bush) needs to be held accountable for the devastation inflicted on our economy with uncontrolled spending and unrestrained government growth.
Those seeking to replace the U.S. Democratic Senators who will be standing for election in November need to evaluate the demonstrated success of Scott Brown. The rest of us need to recognize the necessary unity in un-electing those who feel the office they hold is their entitlement, without paying any heed or regard to the wishes of their constituents.
