I rarely agree with anything Congressman Anthony Weiner, D-NY, has to say about politics. But when asked about Brown's victory over Coakely, he had this to say. In case you don't want to watch the 34 second youtube video, here is a transcript of it:
They’re talking as if, like “what our deals are, what our negotiations are at the White House.” Yeah, and the last line is, “Pigs fly out of my ass,” or something like that. I mean, you know, it’s just, it’s just — we’ve got to recognize that we’ve got an entirely different scenario …
When you large numbers of citizens in the United States of America who believe this is going in the wrong direction, there’s a limit to which you can keep saying that “OK, they just don’t get it. If we just pass a bill, they’ll get it.” No no! I think that maybe we should internalize that we’re not doing things entirely correct here.
If someone like Weiner can see this, why can't Pelosi, Reid, Obama, et al? Shouldn't all elected representatives take an attitude like this. Public oppinion polls have virtually all showed that Americans do not want what the administration and congress have been trying to ram down their throats this year, thus forcing the pigs to fly. Yes, polls also show that we want some changes to the system, but that would be tweaks rather than a tear it down, start from scratch and hope that it works.
I hope this message rings loudly and clearly (notice the proper use of adverbs here), across both sides of the aisle. The republicans, who, even if they don't take control of congress later this year, also have to listen, or they will be out on their asses again.
