Leaves are falling all around, it's time I was on my way..

To take a great line from a great song "Ramble on" from Led Zepplin, and use it in today's posting sums up the story of these midterm elections.

The incumbents will exit stage right. The song starts "Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...Ramble on"

The Democrats will hopefully bow out gracefully, and unless some "Major Major" fraud takes place I see a landslide defeat of the Dems come tomorrow.

I had the opportunity on Saturday to be a part of a telephone Town Hall meeting, and it was quite interesting.

Tom Wesley is Republican candidate for the Second Congressional District in Massachusetts, and I must say that what I heard on this call did not shock me at all.

I heard fear, I heard, skepticism, and I heard anger. These potential voters were asking real questions,and some of them felt their questions were answered, and some did not.

One person brought up the 9/11 attacks.

One person brought up the need to get out of the wars.

One person brought up the lack of fiscal responsibility.

It does not matter what my question was, what mattered to me is he could not clearly answer it, but he tried. I'm going to give him a shot, because he is not a 22 year incumbent.

The questions went on and on, and really showed the feelings about our government in just our congressional district. Imagine across the country how many people feel this way, and want sweeping change in our congress and senate.

Even friends of mine that were lifelong Democrats are leaning Republican. This is what I can say about these mid term elections. The Republicans have two last chances.

The Republicans have one last chance to win back the majority, and the Republicans have one last chance to save the two party system in America. Notice I did not say The United States? We are not even close to United these days. The Tea party is being infiltrated by those that wish it to fail. Things that candidates did as kids, are being used to discredit them, when those attacking them have years in office, that they should be ashamed of.

I'm not saying that everyone is bad, but I am saying, I challenge anyone reading this to tell me what a great future this country has based on our current heading.

If anyone tells me we are on the right track, I say to you, Stop watching non reality reality T.V. and look around. We can stop a bomb in a package on a UPS plane, but we cannot stop the illegal immigrants from entering our country. Gold and silver prices are soaring and the dollar is tanking. QE 2 is being rolled out in an effort to accomplish what the first round of Quantitative easing failed to do, Stimulate the economy. It's bad practice after bad practice, and the people are fed up.

The Republicans will get their chance tomorrow, and they will be expected to do great things, almost immediately. When June 2011 rolls around, they better be well on their way to fixing the broken system, or the system itself will be no more.
Vote for change tomorrow, vote out the incumbents.
