What happen to the good ‘ole days when an incumbent was guaranteed to win?

Filed Under Category: Political & Social Commentary
Are pigs flying? Is it literally raining cats and dogs? How could it be that a 35 year veteran in Congress can be ousted in the primaries by someone in his own party? Political infighting…Who would have thought that people in political parties don’t get along. Incumbents beware! We are watching you and if we do not like what you are doing we can exercise our right to vote. We do not care if you identify with the arbitrary label of the same political party! For so many years politicians have looked at opposition from an individual as insignificant. Now they must revisit that thought. What used to take months to achieve in terms of community activism, can now be mobilized in a matter of minutes via the internet. Revolt and opposition no longer begins with communities, it now begins with a mad voter with a blog. You thought one individual could not change the voting process…The reality is now they have the power to influence many more voters and convince them to sway to their beliefs. Blogging is a politicians worst nightmare…Accountability! I do not care which party you are in, if I feel that you are not living up to the position of service, I will blog you out of office too! Every politician should start to take notice! Quit raising your salaries when your performance gets worst every year. Quit giving into lobbyist and special interests groups. Quit hiding money in refrigerators, taking golf trips oversees, and being loyal to the financial puppets in corporate America that are greedy idiots. We are watching you!
