The Progressives have come out with their Public Option Plan. Is it V Day or D-Day? It all depends on which side of the fence you are on, and maybe not even that. Progressives are starting to show that they are not united. The ideology supported by Pelosi and her fellow Progressives is being forced upon a nation that has rejected it time and time again. This is most evident both within New York and Virginia, and will soon play out through out the U.S. Be ready for Progressives will not be silent in pointing out that supporters for conservatives or liberty backed candidates do not live in the districts they are campaigning in. All the while doing it themselves. It is true that campaigns will seek out people from other areas to help do the leg work or man phones or provide staff. Yet this is nothing new and it should only point out how corruption has crept into the system. Besides, Congress assumes authority on national matters. Then why cannot the Citizen do likewise? It is their time and money to lend. If they choose to help another district then it is their right….for now that is. It is hard to be clean when we are all in the mud.

Yet the assumption that Progressives make is that it is better to sacrifice self for the better of the group. You as an individual do not matter. Within the New York District 23 Race this plays out in epic form and will be amplified on a national scale later on. The key to navigating the messy minefield that is about to be laid out is to understand the ideology resting within Congress lead by Pelosi and her ilk. Scozzafava has been singled out as a Progressive within the GOP, or a RINO (Republican In Name Only). A term that has been applied to a long string of GOP politicians who have been supporting Progressives, lead by Pelosi. Most recent of this is Cap and Trade. Health Care reform has yet to come to a vote but if Cap and Trade is any evidence the citizens have no certainty on how their representatives are going to vote. What we do know is that Scozzafava is supported by unions, and her support of stimulus spending (note its abject failure in New York). What we do not know is how much further she and those like her align with major Progressive issues. If elected the country could be facing the same uncertainty we faced with Cap and Trade. How many more chances are we going to take on a truly unknown vote?

The GOP is not getting the message. Gingrinch said recently that,“If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority, that’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994." I would argue that Reagan won based on clear values. A clear line between what is right and is not. This is not the sole providence of Judeo-Christian lines, it is based on the fact that we are not a lawless creature of chaos but a being with purpose and rationality. That we cannot function successfully under coercion, and that rights are a necessary condition of our survival. How much more of a risk are we going to take on someone merely because they are backed by a party? Citizens are tired of representatives who do not represent their interests and being bullied into idea and concepts that did not include our consent.
