"DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE

"This is more like it. All of the polls have been indicating that the country is suffering from 'anti-incumbent fever.' But then when it comes down to it, rarely is an incumbent actually voted out of office. Everyone uses the line - "We need to get new people in Washington. Everyone should change their representatives, except for MY guy. He's good." And thus we end up with the same clowns year after year.

Looks like the people of Utah have finally called the bluff. Senator Bob Bennett in Utah has been in Washington for 18 years. He was running for a fourth term. Key word .. "was." GOP delegates at the state convention voted for another guy by the name of Mike Lee, rather than sending Bob Bennett back to the statewide race.

Bennett's sin? Apparently the voters didn't appreciate his vote for the so-called Toxic Asset Relief Program (TARP). The voters evidently have this odd idea that it is not the role of government to bail out businesses that fail. Maybe they also realized that when the bill was passed the funds were supposed to be used to purchase toxic assets from troubled companies ... but were used instead to effect complete bailouts.

At any rate ... there are a lot of politicians on this Monday morning who received a rather rude wake up call over the weekend. Couldn't happen to a nicer crowd."

Thanks Jarasan! Bet it was amusing, voted for TARP .... now he bawls about rejection. He's not the last dried up old has-been experiencing the same treatment whether it's the nominating process or actual vote. Byeeee and don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
