Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog: ". . .Whatever happens with the election results today, this election has been a wake-up call for a number of folks in and out of the DC Bubble. We see it in the flummoxed expressions of the national media covering the race, who are struggling to come to terms with the fact that ordinary Americans are fed up with the status quo in politics right now. We see it in the real questions that Senators were asking just last week of Donald Rumsfeld — real, honest questions for once.
You think that would have happened had Joe Lieberman not faced the fight of his political life? And you think the American public isn’t hungry for more of that? On any number of issues? I know I am, and I’m sure a lot of you are as well. It’s called balance of powers, and Joe Lieberman has had his thumb on the scales, skewing the weights toward the Bush Adminstration for long enough, while trying to cloak himself in the veneer of a false bipartisanship. Well, I say enough.
And whether or not Lamont or Lieberman are ultimately the winner today, notice has been served on every member of Congress and on the Bush Administration that we are not content to sit back and allow them to take care of us any longer. We are watching what they do in Washington, and we are not happy with their decided lack of results. Fear does not work any longer.
We the people…are going to BE the change. Get used to it, get on board, or get out of the way. Because we have had enough. . ."
Well said, Ms. Smith.
