Indicator Of 2010 Elections? 11.04.09

No matter which side of the isle you are on, it’s easy to see that there are crooked politicians in both parties.  They both have politicians that serve special interests, rather than who they are supposed to be serving, us.  Both parties are to blame for the messes we are in today.  I have a hard time understanding how some politicians consistently get re-elected each election.  It’s like the people have been given two choices at election time, more of the same, or the possibility of something different.  And as it usually works out we are resistant to change or the possibility that something could be worse (or even better) than we have now, so we cower back and keep the same ole same ole simply out of fear.  Fear that we might regret taking that step into the unknown.

Sometimes I see a bumper sticker that reads, “Save America, Re-Elect No One In 2010.”  This makes me smile at the fact that someone understands the problem.  The problem in our government is the incumbents, both Republicans and Democrats.  There is only a very small handful of incumbents that I’d actually like to see re-elected in 2010.  And Pelosi, Reid, and Frank are at the very back of the line of me ever wanting to see re-elected into our government.

So here’s my hoping to God that the results of yesterday’s elections was just the beginning of what we need to see happen in 2010.
