America’s Siblings

Another angle.
There is a special election Senate Race in Massachusetts for the seat of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. If one were to consider rival candidates Martha Coakley (D-Mass)) and Scott Brown (R-Mass) as children of America with parents being the President and with the Vice President and other cabinet members being cousins, it is my opinion they should not take sides. They should measure interfering in the proceedings.

To step into a quarrel taking sides between siblings who are grown and have moved away from home is not fair.

In the case of candidates Scott Brown and Martha Coakley, I think each should rise or fall on their own merits and in their own communities without external influences coming that will not only confuse the local populace but also may anger them. It is a risky chance to take. Risky due to the fact it raises issues not necessarily indigenous to local or state-wide concerns, whatever the case may be.

Aretha Franklin sang the song, “You better think!” My mother use to say, “Let every tub stand on its own bottom!” Just throwing out another (not new) angle.
As always,
