BloggeRhythms11/2/2010

We've finally come down to D-Day, and the polls seem busy all over the U.S. And despite that there really won't be any solid information about results until much later tonight, politicking and commentary still go on regardless.

In Thornton, Colorado on Monday, a volunteer at Senate Republican candidate Ken Buck's office, a helper, Susan Nalbone, 55, a retired schoolteacher was phoning voters. She said her side was dispirited in 2008. But not now.

On the other side, at the incumbent Democrat, Michael Bennet's, office, LuAnn Lind, 52, a nurse, said she's been volunteering for Democrats for years and finding it harder now to fire people up. "It's a little less urgent among the people I'm talking to," Lind said. "I'm telling them: 'We don't want to lose ground now. We want to keep the Obama momentum moving forward."

And it was Ms Lind's comments that got me to thinking. Because by saying "we don't want to lose ground now, and want to keep the Obama momentum moving forward" what does she really mean? Does she really want further strangling tax increases, the ruination of health care and unemployment at record-setting numbers to go on? And if she does. Why? What in the world can anyone hope to gain if their country's economy crumbles and its status topples to the level of a third-rate nation?

So, as each day goes by and more and more last gasps are heard from the incumbents and their flaks, the more we realize that these people haven't a clue as how to fix this country's ills.What's more, they really don't even want to. All you hear is the same old, worn out, ridiculous mantra...vote for us because we're not Republicans.

Yet, as I've mentioned often before and now hear said more and more often, I think it's finally gotten through that this election isn't an endorsement of the Republicans or Tea Party's issues. It's a repudiation of incumbents. And since there are more Dem's in office right now, more of them will be blown out. But, if it's the same old, same old, when this new batch comes into office they won't last very long either.

So, maybe for the first time since way back when the founding fathers laid the groundwork for the greatest nation on Earth, we'll get what they hoped for. A government of the people, by the people and for the people, instead of a self-anointed bunch of thieving, conniving, self-serving autocrats.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
