Just astounding:
Discontent with incumbents and anti-Washington anger are adding up to a potentially record-breaking crowd of congressional challengers this election year.
More than 2,300 people are running for 471 House and Senate seats in the midterms. It’s the highest number of candidates in at least 35 years, according to data provided to The Associated Press by the Federal Election Commission, which began tracking candidates in 1975.
The people are furious but, also, very much engaged. That is the big difference in 2010 – not only are we mad as heck and not going to take it any more, but we’re bound and determined to change things. All politicians must beware!
The only way we can get any worthwhile change is for we, the people, to aggressively challenge those in power – in primaries and in general elections. In the streets, on the blogs, in the meetings. Never, ever let up the pressure for even a moment – and for goodness sake, never let them intimidate us in to silence. When they say they’re worried that our anger will spill over in to violence what they are really saying is “darn it, if these people don’t shut up, I might lose re-election!”.
That is all the elite care about – their power and their wealth. We are challenging them and they are like frightened rabbits. And its a great time to be an American.
