Well, young Senator Toomey, it's finally happened. You've won the Senate seat that Arlen Specter has denied you for so long, even if just by the skin of his teeth. It's the first real accomplishment in your life, and I will allow you a few moments of pride to enjoy your victory.
Okay moment is over:
You and I know very well how you did it...
You managed to look like a reasonable person despite your obvious derangement. Of course you had some help. The flashier problems of candidates like Miss O'Donnell, Mr. Miller, and Mrs. Angle served as a useful distraction from your own insane beliefs. You should thank them for distracting the spotlight away from you.
So here you are now, suddenly a big boy with big boy responsibilities and I wonder, will you put away the things of childhood and actually do the job that Pennsylvanians have entrusted you with? Or will you continue down the road of denial and obfuscation that you have so far traveled?
Will you truly bring us jobs even if they are "green" jobs that are the rational way to simultaneously protect the natural beauty of our state and ensure a future for generations of Pennsylvanians? Or will you cover for the fracking shale company that gave us inflammable tap water.
Will you assist our President's efforts at financial reform to protect Main Street Pennsylvanians from Wall Street's excess? Or will you continue the failed vision of Reaganomics that encourage the wealthy to trickle upon the working class.
Will you support a woman's right to control her own reproductive system? Or will you tell her that her blastocyst is part of God's plan? What if she wants to thwart God's plan? Isn't that her First Amendment right? Didn't you say it was bad for government to stand between the doctor and patient when you were pretending health care reform mandated it?
Are you really going to help Pennsylvania recover from the disastrous Bush years or will you do as you have always done before:
Distort or ignore the truth
Endanger life on this planet
Redistribute the wealth in the wrong direction
Talk about freedom and liberty while working against same
