Democrat Politicians Are Amazing

When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, Democrats in the legislature took away from him the ability to appoint people in the case of a senator resigning or dying. At the time they were hopeful that John Kerry would be elected President and they didn't want Romney to appoint a Republican as his replacement.

Now that a Democrat is in office, and Senator Kennedy is near death, guess what they want to do? If you guessed that they want to reverse themselves and give the sitting Democratic governor the authority they stripped from Mitt Romney just a few years ago, then you are right.

Public policy shouldn't be based on short-term political games. It should be based on what is thought to be best for the people. The blatant political gamesmanship of this should turn every American's stomach.

What Are They Thinking?

The more I watch the current administration operate, the more convinced I am that they don't really intend to improve things for the American people. I now believe that the new administration is capitalizing on the good will of the electorate to consolidate their own power and that of their fellow Democrats.
