Maybe This Electorate Has Finally Had Enough?

POLL SHOWS VOTERS SAY TO STOP PROTECTING THE LAW BREAKERS ON WALL STREET & START POLICING THEM

The following line was especially encouraging:

David Brat: “The crooks up on Wall Street and some of the big banks — I'm pro-business, I'm just talking about the crooks — they didn't go to jail, they are on Eric [Cantor]'s Rolodex."

Of course, the Wall St Journal took Cantor's side, big time.

"A great deal of time and money is about to be spent trying to prove Mr. Cantor's primary loss in Virginia's Seventh district had nothing to do with immigration."

(Curiously, from the WSJ, no mention at all of sheltering financial frauds, nor Cantor's links to that track record.)

And the main lesson Peggy Noonan draws from voters rejecting Cantor?

"Some lessons of the loss: No one should be in party leadership who isn't from a very safe seat."
No wonder our democracy is so screwed up. Too many consultants preaching methods for these 2 gangs to maintain control, instead of listening to consensus views on national, Desired Outcomes, and then earning their paychecks by helping to figure out how to help our electorate achieve it's desires.

Only question? When are Californian's gonna wise up & dump Nancy Peolosi too? How about some pols who weren't born with silver spoons conveniently placed in their nether regions?

You want a political representative who understands and cares about your needs? Try voting for one who ISN'T a millionaire.
