Mopping Up the Democrat Mess

As the loss in Massachusetts begins to sink in for the Democrats in Washington, it's time for Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to apologize to the nation for playing gutter patisan politics over healthcare. Not that it's going to do Reid any good since he's clearly facing an uphill battle to keep his seat this year, but he ought to save face before it's too late.

Forget party politics. It's time the Congress face reality. The American people are disgusted with the tactics displayed over the past ten years by both parties. The voters are clamoring for change. Real change. Not verbal gimmicks.

The United States is yearning for a statesman or stateswoman to guide this ship onto its rightful course. It wants a leader willing to buck the establishmentarians and speak to the commoners as if he or she is one of them. A Joe the Plummer type willing to ask the right questions and provide the right answers. No political double-speak.

Last October, at a fundraiser in California, President Obama ordered the republicans to grab a mop and clean up the mess left by the previous administration. If last night's election of republican Scott Brown is any indication of mass discontent, in a Blue state of all places, it tells the Democrats in control of Washington the voters want them to grab a mop as well and clean up after their rancid legislative mess of 2009.
