Sen. Robert Menendez: It Was Just A Special Election

Here’s hoping that more of the Democratic Party Leadership continues on the path they have forged and back candidates that believe their message of Hope and Change.

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) issued a statement on Scott Brown’s win in Massachusetts and wants us to believe that the ocean hasn’t gone out before the tsunami.  As chairman of the DSCC, one can hope that they really do believe that this election was an aberration, and all just wander down to the shoreline and stick their heads in the sand.

DSCC CHAIRMAN ROBERT MENENDEZ STATEMENT ON ELECTION RESULTS IN MASSACHUSETTS

U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, released the following statement on the results of the special election in Massachusetts:

“I have no interest in sugar coating what happened in Massachusetts. There is a lot of anxiety in the country right now. Americans are understandably impatient. The truth is Democrats understand the economic anger voters feel, that’s in large part why we did well in 2006 and 2008.

Democrats understand the economic anger?  Not likely; look at the amount of spending in the first year of Obama’s reign.

“In the days ahead, we will sort through the lessons of Massachusetts: the need to redouble our efforts on the economy, the need to show that our commitment to real change is as powerful as it was in 2008, and the reality that we cannot take a single thing for granted and cannot afford even a second of complacency.

Redouble their efforts?  We are dead.

“We must be aggressive in defining our opponents and framing the choice voters face. We cannot be timid about staking out our ground and we must be strong in reminding voters the cost of what the Republicans did on their watch and that they remain on the side of Wall Street, and the special interests.

There it is; it’s Capitalism’s fault.

Here is the very best part of his statement.  As always, emphasis is mine.

“But it is important to keep in mind that today’s special election in Massachusetts was just that: a special election, with a whole host of circumstances that are unique. I would caution against taking a single unique election and extrapolating what it means for the midterms ten months away.”
