Democrats Want To Give Up Control Of Congress

Democrats are committing suicide.
It is suicide of the political variety, but they are doing it regardless.
There is no other explanation.
The Democrat Party, up to and including President Barack Obama for months now have been ignoring polls and public opinion that show without a doubt that their approval ratings consistently dropping, and dropping significantly.
The only conclusion that can be drawn is that they want to turn control of Congress over to the Republicans.
Otherwise, why would they continue to pursue an agenda that spells almost certain defeat for many of them this November?
It’s possible that many of them simply didn’t the data that shows that, for many of them, their re-election chances this fall would be an uphill battle.
However, unless they are looking forward to retirement, it should be impossible for them to ignore what will take place today in Massachusetts.
As this is being written, a special election is taking place in Massachusetts to fill the Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy.
Keep in mind that this is Massachusetts, the state that, year after year, elected Kennedy, the man who was known as the “liberal lion”, and throughout his political career was considered by both Democrats and Republicans alike as one of the most powerful people ever to serve in the U.S. Senate.
It should stand to reason that Kennedy’s replacement would automatically be a Democrat.
Yet the Democrats hand-picked successor for the seat, Martha Coalley, today faces a serious challenge from Republican Scott Brown.
Now think about that for just a moment.
A Republican has a chance, a very good chance, of winning this election.
Scott Brown is not just a Republican sacrificial lamb, he has a real shot at winning this thing.
A conservative winning a seat in the U.S. Senate from the state that not only Ted Kennedy, but also such liberal icons as John Kerry and Barney Frank!
And to hear the various political pundits tell it, the Democrats are in a tither because a victory for Scott Brown will be a death blow for the health care reform bill.
Can’t they hear the alarm bells going off?
The fact that Brown has any chance at all of a victory should be raising warning flags for every incumbent Democrat in the House and Senate, as well as any who may have planned to throw their hats into the ring for the 2010 elections.
Regardless of what happens today in Massachusetts, this should serve as a wake-up call for all Democrats.
Whether Scott Brown should win or lose, the fact that he is in the running simply goes to show how unpopular Democrats and their policies have become.
