They weren't using it anyway.
I think Coakley's loss is a fine thing. Now every dem knows that if Mass. can vote red because the dem base is apathetic, then they can certainly be next on the chopping block. Will they take my vote for granted again and not give me healthcare, not get me out of two illegal wars, not hold the Bush regime accountable for wiping its ass with the Constitution? Well, I guess they can find the fuck out.
If they don't make us WANT TO SUPPORT THEM, that's cool. We lived through Bush, and we'll live through another republican president and majority. Until we let democrats know that we will not support them unless they do what we elect them to do, they will continue to sell favoritism and ignore their constituents. But all the campaign contributions in the world won't save them if we don't have their backs. So now it is time to start calling senators and telling them what we want and how it is going to be.
If you don't want to be the next Coakley, do what I elected you to do.
