Does Specter's Defeat a Tsunami Make?



As the Primary Election process unfolds toward November, the "poster child" of incumbancy, Arlan Specter, D-PA got tossed aside yesterday. As one wonk wrote, America v. Obama.....4 to 0 (VA, NJ, MA, PA). Read it all here.

Does this mean we will see a Tsunami wave of incumbants thrown out of Washington this year? Perhaps, but it won't happen if people are not engaged in the process.

And more importantly, if we just throw one set of clowns out of office and put a new set of clowns in, we're still going to have a 3-Ring Circus, just a different set of faces. The "landslide" Republican victories of 1994 proved that point.

If you are not engaged in your local politics, you need to be. Read the flyers that hit your mailbox. Go to townhall meetings. Ask hard questions.

Make them focus on the Constitution and on their records. Where they fail the test, tell them!

Freedom is not free. As Glen Beck says: if this generation loses Freedom and Liberty, it will never see them again.
