As I'm sure everyone knows last night Scott Brown became the first Republican Senator in Massachusetts since 1972. He is now being praised as the man who can effectively bury Obamacare. Conservatives have a champion and progressive liberals have someone to blame for the possible defeat of the Senate Health Care Bill. The news networks have spent the entire night talking about this man and his impact. A man, who to be fair did break some ground. Massachusetts is consistently a democratic state and to see the people elect a Republican is something no one expected. However the real question is what's the difference?
For too long Republicans and Democrats have had a monopoly on American politics. No matter who sits in the seat it's all the same garbage one after another. Big Government spending from the big government party. Sure this election might enable the Republicans to hinder the passing of Obamacare but it will eventually just be recycled into another government program put together by the Republicans. These programs aren't much different because the parties aren't much different. We can't afford these agendas! They cause rapid inflation of our money, and worst of all they are unconstitutional! The only difference between a possible "Palincare" and Obamacare will be what party gets to celebrate when it's signed into law. These parties are two sides to the same coin. There is no lesser of two evils, because there is no lesser. It's not Democrat and Republican - it's just Republicrat!
To put it properly I will give you a quote from the Honorable Judge Andrew Napolitano:
We do not have two political parties in this country, America. We have one party; called the Big Government Party. The Republican wing likes deficits, war, and assaults on civil liberties. The Democratic wing likes wealth transfer, taxes, and assaults on commercial liberties. Both parties like power; and neither is interested in your freedoms. Think about it. Government is the negation of freedom. Freedom is your power and ability to follow your own free will and your own conscience. The government wants you to follow the will of some faceless bureaucrat.
So which one is it people? Do you want your civil liberties destroyed? Or, do you want your commercial liberties trampled? It's high time we stop looking at face values. I for one am tired of hearing about candidates being elected because "they speak well" or because "they seem like a natural leader". Let's start with addressing the issues. Scott Brown voted for socialized medicine in Massachusetts but now is against the Obama plan? It doesn't make sense! He also supports sending more troops into Afghanistan. Another big government move to occupy and bring democracy to places that don't call for intervention. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue my friends. This is a people issue and it's time we all educate ourselves and take a stand. These parties have no vested interest in your interests!
