On Friday, I believe, Hugh Hewitt was discussing the threat by Senate Democrats to not only continue filibustering but also shut down the Senate. Hugh likened it to little children grabbing their toy and heading home when they don't get their way. "I'm not going to play with you anymore!"
Senate Grapes (click to enlarge):
It would almost be funny, but they aren't playing with Barbie and matchbox cars anymore. Who elected such selfish, dimwitted creatures?
What accounts for such childish behavior among our illustrious Senators? a.) They have not grown up and or b.) they know that their enemy will sooner or later give up. It is time for a little surprise. We need to squash our Senate Grapes by giving our Republican senators a shot of Finnish sisu (stubbornness). They need to know we are behind them, and will not stand for this nonsense. Hugh's idea is to give to Republican campaigns.
Good Options:
Mark Kennedy is replacing the seat Mark Dayton is vacating in the Senate. Obviously, it will not be hard to fill Dayton's shoes (though keeping up to him in retreat would prove difficult), but Mark Kennedy has never been one to just maintain the status quo. His track record is one of hard work and doing what is right regardless of public opinion. He and Norm would make a great team; a team we Minnesotans could be proud of and the country would benefit from.
Growing up my parents instilled me with the values that continue to guide my life today. I believe Minnesotans deserve representation that embodies the best of our character: hard w o r k, common sense, faith in God, cooperation to get things done, a sense of optimism and most importantly devotion to family.
Minnesota deserves two Senators who get up every morning looking to get things done for us. I want to bring our Minnesota values and common sense solutions to the U.S. Senate. With your help, we can make that a reality!
Michele Bachmann is going to run for the seat Mark Kennedy is vacating. She is the wicked witch, evil incarnate to the left so that alone indicates she is exactly who we want representing us. She is passionate about education, social security, the value of life, and a host of other issues, and she's not going to give in or give up. We need her strong, clear voice.
“I want to increase the number and vibrancy of local choices in education and move away from increased nationalized education systems. I want to protect the traditional notion of marriage, as between one man and one woman, and will w o r k to insulate it from re-definition by activist courts. I want to move towards healthcare that is more affordable and accessible, free market driven, decentralized, patient driven and less costly based upon unnecessary lawsuits,” said Bachmann.
“Leaving enough room for Minnesota values to succeed requires positive changes in Washington. I want to help bring about those changes,”
Let's call our Republican senators and let them know that if they want to be reelected, they better not give in.
