Red Meat Speeches
Once again I feel the need to comment on something I saw on Morning Joe. Scott Brown is quizzed about which Supreme Court Justice he likes and Elizabeth Warren is asked about who in the Senate she could work with.
Scott Brown who seems moderate and is attempting to portray himself as a moderate says he like the most conservative of the Supreme Court Justices, Justice Scalia and then mentions about half of the rest of the court. Maybe the first thing you say is what you really think. Justice Scalia is not a moderate.
Elizabeth Warren is asked if which Republicans she could work with if elected to office. She mentions Richard Lugar, a moderate from Indiana that was defeated by a Tea Party Candidate in Indiana. The upshot being that she had no one to name and said it would depend on the issue.
Politics these days means getting elected and has little to do with legislating.
This is not sustainable. We need politics that can legislate and a public that is interested enough and educated enough to provide support to policies that are good for the country and all the people that live here.
