Ted Nugent offers advice to the GOP

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Nancy Reid may have poisoned the Democratic Party brand by their incompetence and arrogance, but Republicans have done little to earn the trust of the American public, argues guitar legend-turned political commentator Ted Nugent.

From a new Nugent column in The Washington Times:

It's time to clean out the House and the Senate. True change is voting out the entrenched, hopelessly disconnected Fedzillacrats and replacing them with statesmen and women who care about America's future more than their political skins.

While many independents and Republicans are celebrating Mr. Brown's historic victory,I remain extremely suspicious of the Republican Party. Clearly, both the Democratic and Republican parties have been overtly guilty of grotesque and irresponsible pork spending and support of bigger, more unaccountable government. They are both as guilty as possible.

So, while many pundits are wondering what message the president and the left truly got from the Brown victory, we are wondering just what message the Republican Party received from the Massachusetts massacre.

If Republicans believe Bay State voters were simply angry at President Obama's policies and moblike political tactics, they would be making a serious mistake. Indeed, the voters in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey voted against Democratic candidates. But I don't believe they necessarily voted for the Republican candidate. They voted for change. I'm convinced many voted out of anger, frustration and angst.

The message the Republicans had better hear loud and clear is that Americans are disgusted and want real, substantive change - not more political doublespeak, no more shady backdoor deals such as the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback or Buying the Union; no more confusing 2,500-page bills that the current crop of Fedzillacrats haven't read and don't truly understand and that only a team of overpaidlawyers can decipher, sort of. That's not the type of government America wants or deserves. Are you listening, Republicans?
