Give A Hand & Headshot to Joe Kennedy (no, not that one)
By Beth in Uncategorized, Politics, News, pop culture on January 11 2010Just got through watching the Massachusetts Senator debates on local news.
Parting thoughts…
- Why put Indie candidate and IT technician Joe Kennedy through the humiliation of being on TV, staging his podium far enough off camera focus that he not only physically a non-entity and then barely giving the guy enough time to address any of the issues if this race is really Martha Coakley vs. Scott Brown. Even the moderator forgot his name half-way thru the debate, starting to call him, “Mr. Br…” before correcting himself. I mean really?
- Ok, so Joe Kennedy is not the brightest bulb on foreign policy and his ramblings come off like the infantile scribblings of 1st grader, but his comments on spend and the economy were legitimate enough that I was hoping Brown or Coakley might address them
- Brown and Coakley were so busy attacking one another on legal social issues (abortion, capital punishment) that I’m still wondering when/how Massachusetts will become a state with a sound economy, flourishing public school systems, lowered taxes, and more job opportunities. None of what really matters was talked about. Then again, Brown’s body of work is rather impressive…
- So the last point being are our reps so out of touch with what really matters to people that they’d rather wax poetic on the sh*t no one but them and the bureaucratic machine that is DC actually care about?
- And if this is the case, how can I feel good about casting a vote for any of these tools?
