I think it’s actually a good thing that Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate race. Martha Coakley was clearly lame and would have only shown further that Democrats can’t accomplish anything. Let’s face it, the Democrats had a dream situation for the past year and they still couldn’t get anything done. Obama’s promises are not coming true. It literally proves that if the Democrats have total control, nothing will actually happen.
Also, I think it’s time we get out of this mindset that a party has to have a 60 vote majority to get anything done. Now when it comes to the midterm elections Republicans will be just as responsible as Democrats for having accomplished something, and that’s important. The political parties are going to have to learn how to work together.
That’s a nice thought, and also true, but what I expect to happen is that the United States government will continue to degrade and fall apart. Believe me, I would love to think otherwise, but being a politician is no longer about representing your constituents, it’s about being a professional douche, and I don’t expect that to change.
