Have Democrats gotten the message?

Posted November 08, 2008 10:00 pm

Do the Democrats get it yet? The informed voters of the 6th Congressional district have sent, once again, a message to the Democratic party. What is that message? If you want to represent us you must live in our district. In each of the last two elections the Democrats have insulted us by running candidates who did not live in our district. Apparently, they never learned the lesson of the Boston Tea Party. Representation is important. That representation must be local. If you don't live in our district, drive on our roads, shop in our stores, talk to our neighbors, how can you even begin to think that you can represent us? Well, the vote is in. Do you think that the Democratic party has gotten the message yet? One can only hope.
