Vote Anti Incumbent

Anti Incumbent Wave Coming

On the Wilson Research Strategies and The Hill Ad Review - Blog they have written a post  titled “The Coming Anti-Incumbent Wave”. see post

The author starts out “Before Republicans start rejoicing about a political environment that favors them in 2010, they should consider that their incumbents aren’t immune from the growing anti-incumbent sentiment.  Voters are certainly upset about government spending.  That can be interpreted as a growing distaste for cap and trade, Obama’s health care reform, and even the stimulus.  But, when voters are mad with their government, they have a tendency to blame all incumbents - not just Democrats.”

You know, that is an excellent point.  We Independents  thought the “Tea Parties” were a good idea until the Republicans  claimed them as their own.  We don’t like them any better than the current administration.  They would like us to think it only the current administration we are protesting and we are on their side.  That is how they are trying to position this. any and frustration by the public about how things are going in this country.

The author continues “  Likewise, Republican challengers should be prepared to criticize both parties for the problems we are facing now.” 

We that would be, in our opinion, very good advise for the Republicans. But I don’t think they see it that way.
