A Challenge To the Political Establishment in South Carolina

The national media is aghast that a political unknown won the South Carolina Democratic Primary. The commentators on Fox News repeatedly questioned how and why Alvin Green won the Primary. Of course they brought into play how could an unemployed veteran afford the entry fee. Then they wonder how he could be elected when his budget was $2000.00. Fox News is not alone, all the major media outlets are questioning the election results.

Then there is the ousted incumbent, he of course is challenging the result. How could a veteran politician lose to an unemployed, unknown American Citizen. It defies logic, or does it?

Politicians need to wake up and realize that the American Public is fed up with being ignored by their so called leaders. This applies to local, state and federal governments. The Average American wants smaller government, not bigger. They want their leaders to listen to them, not treat them like children.

Politicians seem to believe that the Average American can not think for themselves. That we have no idea what is in the best interest our community, our state or our country. They seem to think that they have all the answers and that we are too dumb to realize what is in our best interests.

Perhaps Alvin Green, with his simple flyer touched a nerve with the people of South Carolina. Perhaps the people of South Carolina, like the rest of the country are fed up with politicians who ignore them and their concerns. Perhaps this is a wake up call to the political establishment.

It will be a while before we actually know the entire truth about the election, it still makes you wonder if the American People are sending a wake up call to the political establishment.



During the Presidential Election, we were promised change and transparency. Maybe the American People have decided that if the current elected officials won't give it us, then we will just have to make a change. Perhaps American citizens have decided to take back their government from our so called leaders. Maybe South Carolina is a sign to all incumbents that the is a change blowing across America.
