Blue-State Blues: Win or Lose, GOP Sets Frame for ’10 in Massachusetts

I love the arrogance of the Dems who
feel they are the rightfull owners of
this seat without any regard to what
the citizens want. So if Kennedy had
this seat for so long, I would think
a change is long over due.

After Congress has spent most of 2009 debating health reform, what does Scott Brown and the GOP want to do? Trash it all. It has been 45 years since any real reform was made to the healthcare system. Republicans don’t want any of it. It’s too expensive. It’s not what the American people want. Have you talked to the American people Scott? Do you realize what private insurance has been doing over the last 45 years? Will we have to wait another 45 years until the GOP is finally “ready” for real reform?

So a guy holds a Senate seat for 45 years. What does this say about the Democrats in Massachusetts? They are serfs to the Kennedys. Imagine in over two generations, no Democrat was found worthy to take over his rule. You live in a selfish, corrupt tyranny up there, folks. And you want more of it???

BOB! “BIG PHARMA” and “BIG INSURANCE” were at the SONOMA restaurant in DC at a “gala fundraiser” last night collecting huge amts of cash for Martha Coakley, the DEM from MASS, running for Kennedy’s seat…does that make sense to you? Take the blinders off!

The American people are starting to wake up and shake themselves free from the lies of the democrats.

I think the people of Massachusetts are sick of the Knennedy’s attitude that they have this power hold and nobody else can do the job but them. it’s time we move on and forget the kennedy’s – and the liberal agendas that they push. Time for change the republuicans should be able to get things back on track for Massachusetts and the rest of the country. We seen what the democrats can do, look at the mess we’re in now, and they still blame it on Bush.

The MSM is again blowing smoke to raise the spectre of a close race in MA just to boost ratings.
Way to go, guys !

Hey Bob, I am the American People, just like you and I don’t want this so called “healthcare reform.” This “reform” will put my small business out of business and if it doesn’t, I’ll let my employees join the “gov’t” option instead of providing them with quality, private insurance and if I’m going to feel the “pain” why isn’t aren’t the unions willing to help foot the bill. I’d like to provide my employees with the “cadillac” insurance that the unions get, but I can’t afford it. So let’s let the union and it’s represenatives pay their “fair” share too. We all agree that something needs to be done, but this legislation is not the something. It is the largest tax increase on the american people that we will ever witness, it will add to the deficit (considering taxes will begin immediately, but coverage waits until 2014), it will not create jobs, companies will pass the costs onto the consumers and it will not create better healtcare for all. It may provide healthcare for some, but it will not be the quality care we are accustomed too. Start over. We can do better.

“George P.” refers to George P. Bush, 33, the elder son of Dub’s brother, insanely popular Florida ex-guv Jeb Bush.

Yeah Bob, by all means, let’s pass a bill just for the sake of passing a bill. Never mind that the present legislation is a monstrosity that will cripple this economy for decades, that will take health decisions away from doctors and patients and put them in the lap of yet another DC moron. Let’s ruin the coverage for 84% of Americans in order to cover an additional 10%. Are there problems with insurance companies? Sure, but instead of depending on Washington DC to find solutions, how about we try letting the marketplace fix this, empower consumers to demand quality and give them the ability to take their business elsewhere if they are not satisfied. This mindset that Washington is a viable solution to ANY problem has got to change, history tells us repeatedly that when the federal government becomes involved, things get bad in a hurry. This will certainly be no exception, and will probably instead prove to be the most egregious example yet of complete and utter failure on the part of government to make anything better. If the DC legislators truly wanted to improve the current system, they would get the hell out the way.

I also live just over the border into NH. The inside the beltway types have no idea what is fomenting in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts but think of that scene in Spartacus, and its aftermath, when Kirk Douglas shoves the slave masters face in the pot of gruel. I didn’t believe it a week ago but I believe it now, Go, Massachusetts, Go!!!

I had a look at the doners from the other night for Ms Coakley. It was a whos who of drug companies and health insurance companies.
In this case it’s the Dems in bed with the big bad drug and insurance compaines.
Health Care Reform = Higher Taxes and Higher health Care Costs, with longer waits to see doctors.
A voter for her will give you just that

If Massachusetts effects real change and Brown gets in, why then the Dropkick Murphys wouldn’t have songs of despair, poverty, and corruption to write!!!

Here’s something that bothers me about the healthcare bill as currently constructed–If we’re going to be taxed for 3-4 years before the healthcare system is implemented, do we really expect Congress to keep their hands out of that growing pot of unused funds? Isn’t that part of the reason Social Security is on the verge of collapse–Congress, over the years, has kept helping themselves to the money being put into it to fund their other programs and projects?

Scott Brown is a breath of fresh air. The democratic party has strayed from its core values. Time to pay the piper. Vote them out and start over. No more lib dem corrupt taxandspendachuesetts!

I find it VERY interesting that this article references a “funraiser” at a wine bar…..but FAILS to mention that it was nearly 100% sponsored by BIG PHARMA!!!
There is a photo of the invitation floating around out there, and FOX had shown the invitation on air last night, and it was a who’s who of big PHARMA who organized and are the contributors to this event. And where was it held? DC!!!!

Funny to see republicans panic that Brown, if he wins in MA. wont be seated right away. On the contrary, wouldnt it just be like the democrats to stop the potential bloodbath next november by sabotaging their own horrendously unpopular bill? Don’t you think they can smell death at this point? Voters are mad. This is the people’s chance to show congress who is really in charge because the politicians not only don’t get it, they are running over independents who graciously gave them the benefit of the doubt and a chance to redeem themselves. What do they do with it except to presume that they own the country. Liberal democrats mistook the anger over republican failures as a license to convert the country to socialism. We like our freedom. I hope the democrats keep cheating their hearts out and prevent Brown from voting to stop this bill. Americans, they will find, are not as stupid as they seem to think.

Bob I just don’t understand the mentality of liberal biased journalist. Forget the party pay attention to whats being offered to you. A healthcare plan that no one knows what it is. WOW what a favor the Democrats are doing for the country. I thought that all men were created equal. I guess if your a union member your more privillaged then me. Whats with that? Why are the unions exempt and the everyday Joe isn’t. It seems Obama has spent a year and a trillion dollars of our money creating payoffs for those that voted for him. Your a reporter and we have to point this out to you? Hey Bob if you can’t write a truthful non biased article your not much of a journalist, your a political hack that will find your self in the same pool of sharks as the rest of us.The only difference between us and you is when that happens it is doubtful anyone would pay a dime to read anything written by those who lie to protect a political party that doesn’t even know your name. You do realize they don’t care about you either. Bob do yourself a favor send a few bucks to Scott Brown. I am in Arizona I did it’s the only thing I can do to help save my nation besides let you know what a lousy person your are.

It is nice to have Wingnuts admit that their main objective is making President Obama fail. ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) continues.
Be careful of what you wish for. News Flash! Supporters of the President would be glad to see the conservaDems like Lincoln in AR be defeated either way. With that the burden of ineffective 60-vote majority in the Senate will be taken off. If we have 57 Dems in the Senate, people like Liberman or Nelson would not have as much sway. And the process of Reconciliation (needing only 51 votes in Senate) will be used to open up Medicare or create the Public Option in a single bill.

Kennedy: “Do you think I should say she was driving?” [statement to his friends the morning after leaving Mary Jo to die in the submerged car he was drunk driving. Yep, those Massachusetts voters place a great deal of reverence to their esteemed leaders.

Obama’s healthcare reform can be descibe as this:
Before any candidate wins the presidential election, the have already defined for themselves what their legacy will or should be.
Reagan: Wins the Cold War
George Bush Sr: Desert Storm: National Security
Clinton: Economy
George W. Bush: National Security
Barrack H. Obama: President Obama knows that his only possible legacy will be Healthcare Reform (in any form is acceptable to him). He has nothing else to lay a successful claim to. He has already been a disaster on national security..he’s a failure on the economy..so guess what’s left?…yep, Healthcare Reform.
He is rushing this through now, because he knows it’s pretty much a guarantee that the Dems will lose their majority status this November. He will be a one term president.

“few observers really think that’s winnable even now, no matter how toxic the environment for Democrats these days.”
If Brown carries the Independents 4-1, he’ll win next Tuesday…
It would be nice if Martha’s campaign could spell the name of the state correctly…

The liberal socialist dems are going to be stomped by the conservatives in 2010, and obama is going to be defeated by a woman in high heels in 2012.
Watching the anti-American loons of this country lose their minds is going to be fun to watch.

“few observers really think that’s winnable even now, no matter how toxic the environment for Democrats these days,” Klein says.
Oh reeally? With Brown winning the debate, I find it humorous that the liberal media is still pushing an easy win for Coakley. Did you see all the handshaking she was doing with the health care special interests groups? These crooked politicians, like Coakley, need to go.

You Dems just don’t get it ! The Republicans don’t want health care reform not because it’s too expensive, it’s because we don’t want government intrusion in making our health and medical decisions for us.

Did you hear that SEIU gave Coakley’s campaign over a quarter of mill?

How can everyone be so excited by this when SIEU and Acorn can be there stuffing the ballot boxes and getting away with it. Money needs to be spent on eliminating them and eliminating fraud.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – A joke on the American people that went bad.

For the 2000th time IT IS NOT KENNEDY’S SEAT

I guess even the ghost of Teddy is no longer in the drivers seat…hmmm good thing huh. As I remember it he was the creator of the original bridge to nowhere.

If Kennedy were alive I think he would say “Let them eat cake”

Someone said that Congress spent the whole year debating health care and Brown wants to tear it apart? Seems to me the bill being produced is coming from Pelosi, Reid, Obama and a bunch of lobbyists holed up behind closed doors somewhere.
But we know the lobbyists took a break long enough to raise money for Martha Coakley who found it more urgent to attend a DC fundraiser with them than shake hands with dirty smelly voters in her state.

So Klein, are you saying the Dems can steal this election also. Don’t let this journalist try to deflate you. Go Brown.

Wake up, people. The Leftists have got to go. Don’t vote Dem; the Democrat Party of old is NOT the Radical Leftist Democrat Party of today.

The Dems will retain the seat with the help of legions of Acorn registered imaginary voters. They’ve given able evidence that they’re liars and tax cheats. Tax and spend until you kill the golden goose. Dems gained control of Congress in 2006, unemployment stood at 4.5%, it’s 10% today…any questions. How are cities and states currently run by Dems, high unemployment and declining revenue. Vote with your wallet Mass.

…”few observers really think that’s winnable even now”…
Where does ABC get their news?
Orwellian.

The Dems have made the same mistakes the Reps made when they controlled the Whitehouse Senate and Congress. Arrogance of power! Except the Dems have imploded in record time. If all of their gaffs, screw-ups and just plain stupid mistakes made within the past year were listed, several pages would be filled. Boston is the original city of the tea party, I would imagine those folks have just about had enough from a party that just plain takes their political affiliations and votes for granted. If this race is even close, one can only imagine what effects this will have on the remainder of the country. If the Dems somehow manage to loose this race then the end is near, unless of cours the Reps repeat their same mistakes, which is quite possible.

What I find interesting is that the MSM doesn’t even seem to realize that by calling the legislation a “health care reform bill,” they are showing a pro-Democrat bias. Reform has a positive connotation, implying it is a good thing. How often did they use that term when refering to legislation pushed by Republicans? Not very often. Was the Patriot Act a bill to “reform” our national security posture? I don’t think so. Did the tax cuts “reform” our tax structure? Not if you listen to the MSM. The only “reform” comes from Democrats, yet the MSM persist in claiming they are not biased. That’s why I call them the Strong Left-Inclined Media Elite (SLIME).

Time to throw out these Dems regardless of the ABC’s Obama / Kennedy worship propaganda. The public as ignorant & mislead most of them may be are beginning to see the results of a truly radical corrupt and stupid agenda that will ultimately destroy this country! Throw these radical loopy lefties out now & let’s elect fiscally responsible capitalists who believe in small government. One place to start is for government at all levels to terminate 35% of it’s workforce. The public will never notice the difference!

By the way I have stopped watching ABC News because of it’s utterly biased left wing socialist promoting reporting!

Surely the wise people of Massachusetts are too smart to elect a Reid-Pelosi Democrat to this Senate seat? I have been a Democrat all my life, am now 79 yrs old and there is no way I will vote as a Democrat again. Our country can be saved, but only if Obama, Pelosi and reid and Barney Frank are replaced.

Did Republicans already win in Massachusetts?
Not next Tuesday’s Senate election itself, of course — few observers really think that’s winnable even now, no matter how toxic the environment for Democrats these days.
I love the above statement to open the article. Basically this guy is saying that Coakley has already won BUT the Republicans may have won in some sort of “moral victory” sort of way.
If the people of Massachusettes (right, Coakley?) are so blind as to only vote dem and that anyone with a parenthetic R next to their name is the devil, then you are already lost. Hell, don’t you already have some sort of statewide insurance mandate or healthcare plan there now that is driving you deep into the red ink while doing nothing to improve healthcare? I figure that alone would drive you away from the dems – at least for the time being.

Look who is raising money this week for the Democrat Coakley running for Ted Kennedy’s old seat in Mass!
–As first reported by Timothy Carney of the Washington Examiner, the host committee for the fundraiser at Pennsylvania Avenue’s Sonoma Restaurant includes lobbyists for Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Novartis and sundry other drug companies that have been among the biggest of ObamaCare’s corporate sponsors. Other hosts—who have raised at least $10,000 for Ms. Coakley—include representatives from UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana and other insurers. As far as we can tell, the insurance industry claims to oppose ObamaCare’s current incarnation.
Naturally, lobbyists from America’s Health Insurance Plans and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the major trade groups, were on hand too. Money follows power in Washington, obviously, though this example seems especially inexplicable given that Ms. Coakley’s GOP opponent, state senator Scott Brown, may be the last chance to defuse the health-care doomsday machine. But maybe someone in the press corps will bother to mention this episode the next time President Obama takes aim at the “special interests” he claims are opposing his agenda.–

Excuse me, but Massachusetts already has “universal Healthcare” Why the heck should I be forced to pay back the boat load of bribes to Louisiana, North Dakota or anyone else that got a back door bribe from the “ruling party” at the federal level? If this is so important, why are other states not just doing it themselves instead of forcing me to pay for their lack of state action? After all according to the Democratic machine hype it is an emergency and “The most important” issue ever?
There are more independent voters than republican and dems combined in Massachusetts. I am making my own phone calls to disenchanted democrats in Massachusetts that I know to go on Tuesday and Cast their votes for Scott!
Martha, we are watching you and your cronies, we are very clear what you are all about. We will not be swayed by your negative lies, or Bill Clinton showing up here for you. Good Luck Tuesday.
Hope, Massachusetts resident, former Democrat for 30 years, now undeclared, donated to Scott Brown’s campaign, voting for Scott Brown on the 19th!

New Wave: Maybe you should think about your idiotic comment that health insurance companies make medical decisions for us. You have been drinking a lot of koolaid if you don’t realize that it is DOCTORS WHO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS FOR US. God save us from people like New Wave.

They can forget Arkansas; Blanche is toast if this healthcare bill passes, let alone any amnesty bill.
The amnesty bill will kill’em all, so they’d best be prepared.

If Scott Brown wins it would be a powerful blow on behalf of FREEDOM. I hope this guy wins. The liberal left are wrecking this country and treating the electorate like a bunch of children – sit down, shut up, and obey. Go Scott! Those of us who love freedom are on your side!

Please make all the calls you can. Brown will need ALL the votes he can get to offset the “questionable extra votes” brought in by ACORN and SEIU.

Health care reform is one thing and government takeover is something else. Opening it up for competition, tort reform and maybe controling costs like a public utility is reform. What Obama wants is a dictatorship.

Has ABC been watching the same race? Scott Brown definitely has a shot at rescuing the country from disaster.
The revolution begins in Massachusetts! (notice the spelling)

Yes trash the whole non heathcare reform. it isn’t reform it is another governemnt takeover of another industry in this counrty. There is much more in this awful bill that allows them to take your personal liberities away then does anything for heathcare except ration it! The first battle of our first American revolution were fought at Concord and Lexington looks like MASS. has the chance to start the second American Revolution there too! It’s another Boston Tea party folks! Flip both houses in 2010 and 2012!

Does it not occur to the good people of Massachusetts that part of the problem healthcare has NOT BEEN OVERHAULED is BECAUSE OF THE REGIME THEY HAVE KEPT IN WASHINGTON for the past THIRTY SOME YEARS?

Hope.
Change.
2010
and especially 2012.

surf…I feel it too.

Brian, what a typical bunch of liberal non-sense. So taking 94% of what someone earns is ok with you? I assume of course you give 94% of your salary(if you have one) to the government as you think everyone should. 94% is confiscation not taxation.
I have an idea, why don’t we just have both socialism and capitalism. You get a form and check a box for which form of system you want to live under? We have a flat tax for the federal government to provide the very basics, National defense, foreign affairs and national infrastructure and government. Nothing goes out to anyone, no tax breaks, no loopholes and no welfare. All capitalists get their regular paychecks less the flat tax. All socialists have their paychecks diverted to a central bank when it is then divided up according to the Marx ideal. “From each according to his ability to each according to his need” . We still have elections for government and Socialists have special elections for their board of supervisors and organizers. Capitalists with no need for bureaucrats to help them with their decisions use their money the way they see fit. You can only choose every 10 years which system you want to live under. If you choose Socialist from then on any inventions, patents and intellectual property (that includes all music, movies and any creative works) are owned by the central authority and are the sole beneficiaries of income and royalties. Capitalists own everything they create.

The failed policies of Barack Obama will be the downfall for all his coattail-hanging Democrats.

Scott WILL win on Tuesday. Every single family member of mine will be voting for Scott….and they are Democrats.

Obama is poison.
Worst.
President.
Ever.

Come on mass for once this century be americans instead of socialists.Lets fix the country.Our country is under attack by librials Who are on purpose destroying our country to premote their socialist plan.The economy is being tanked by this president and his people.Why else would they do the exact opposite of what needs to be done.THINK ABOUT IT.

I find it interesting that the far far loony left Globe has the Dem up 15%, when the real pollsters have it as a dead heat. Hoping all the loons that read that rag think it is a shoo in and don’t vote. Even if they do conservatives, independents and normal thinking libs will be out in force top stop this race to socialism and this corrupt administration and congress.

Can I vote in Ma.? I live in Mn. This is going to be a problem for dems no matter who wins.

Robx— I only used the 94% figure as history not as to my position on it — Though I do believe giving tax breaks to the risch during Wartime is stupid and irresponsible–As far as the Flat tax — I would pray they would do it — Income tax is unfair– Currently only 43% of our Citizens pay any tax at all– 57% pay nothing being either too poor or too rich to pay!! Through loopholes many off shore adding to the Countries revenue dearth!! I would rather a 10% tax on all Imports and Commodities paid on the wholesale level– And I’m not a Lib!!!

I have to question the poll cited in the article, it was one of many and in real terms it was the largest outlier in the set. The issue here is still the fact that the Media selects data to fit their needs. If the argument is made by taken all polls and removing the extreme outliers we see that it is too close to call race. The fact that the state is not being represented by the congress in these matters, it will cause higher taxes and then of follow on a lost of jobs in the state. The idea that the state Dem’s leaders are trying to arrange the results so that a Dem is in place for the vote on health care is a clear and concrete example of failing the public trust.

I don’t care who runs against an incumbent, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent. All I know is whoever is in there now, needs to be gone because: 1) he or she has not been sufficiently vocal in exposing corruption, and 2) has not adequately represented the interests of the people who elected him or her to office.

Tony T: Yes, we know that Reconciliation is used for budgetary items. There are ways to make public option be a budgetary item.
Just like Bush passed tax cuts for the wealthy using the reconcilaition procedure.

Wingnuts are on a roll..let’s see what the posts will be next Wednesday.
Anyway when all else fails, you can always throw in the ACORN or Socialism line, right?

DH- tell your sis and her friends we are all rooting for her and Scott! (I have donated, and sent all my friends you-tube e-mails of his great debate moment..”this is the people’s seat”)
This election has proven one thing: there is still plenty of community left to organize in this great country of ours!

This is wonderful! And a sure sign of
what’s to come in November.
After we take back what’s rightfully
ours (i.e., The People’s, not the
Kennedy’s or Obama’s), we must begin:
1) Impeachment proceedings against
Obama (Where’s the birth
certificate?);
2) Criminal trials against Obama
and his wife for treason based
on the above(taking over the
government by fraud);
3) ‘McCarthy-like’ hearings against
the Democruds, starting with
Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Frank,
Schumer, Levin, Leahy, Franken,
Durbin, Waters, Conyers, Specter,
Nelson, Landreau, Grayson,
Jackson-Lee, Jesse Jackson, Al
Sharpton, Kerry, Gore, and Blanche
Lincoln, followed by criminal
proceedings against all of them.
“It’s gonna be a Great Day…”

MSM thinks Brown will not win. Keep thinking that way. All the pieces are falling in place, Coakley is making all the wrong moves, and Scott Brown is staying on the high road.
There is incredible energy and momentum in the Scott Brown campaign. I will be personally helping out through the long weekend. At this point it is a toss up, with EVERYTHING trending Scott Brown’s way. Mark my words – Scott Brown will win this January 19 by 2-5 points.
The Dems have absolutely no energy for Coakley who is dry, smug, and arrogant in her coronation quest for “Ted Kennedy’s seat.” Her lying attack ads are not inspiring either.

I find it so humorous and fitting that Dems want to name their ‘healthcare bill’ after an obese drunk.
Are they naming it for the guy that needed the most?

Barack Obama (and lap dogs like Martha Coakley) IS the “SYSTEMIC FAILURE” in the United States. Wake up, America! Throw out the LIBERTY-ROBBING, HIGH-TAXING,MORALLY BANKRUPT Democrats in 2010 and 2012!!……

I will add this: the more the Democratic Establishment (a redundant phrase) rushes to the aid of Coakley and puts down Brown, the more voters will be attracted to Brown. Barring some last-minute revelation that would actually damage Brown (and even THAT would be seen as a Democrat dirty trick, because it’s so predictable), there’s really little that Democrats can do other than make sure their voters turn out in the numbers needed, this coming Tuesday. Of course that’s assuming enough people want Coakley enough to vote for her…

says stop being played by the left/right paradigm that controls you … to quote Bill Clinton’s mentor:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”
~ Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in our Time

I understand that Brown posed nude for a magazine sometime ago.
I wonder what GOPers would have done, if the Dem posed nude in the past.
It’s no surprise since they still have Ensign, Vitter (the diaper wearing Senator) and Sanford in their mist.

Outside New England the Dems are no longer trusted. I a Prohibitionist wouldn’t vote for a Democrat for so much as assistant garbage collector.
Yes, the Prohibition Party, a party for American nationalists & patriots, still exists. See

Cindy: So what else is Scott Brown ready to do to raise money in the future?
Thought GOP was the party of values !

Do you think the dems will have Black Panthers standing outside of the polls holding night sticks like they did during the Presidential Election? If so, I think a call should go out to one America’s Biker Clubs to stand across from them and have a stare down…HeHeHe.

It’s not Kennedy’s seat, it’s the people’s seat!

Wow, I think BOB is the only thing on this web page that can’t be fixed. Keep up the pressure he soon will go away.
Dems will lose seats in NOV and I can’t wait. Move to Canada if you like all the taxed run system. Never hear of anything great coming for there. They don’t have motivation to do so if they know they get the same as the lazy one gets.

I pray Scott Brown wins. I’ve donated money and encouraged friends to donate money to his campaign. If Mr. Brown wins, there’ll be one less thug–yes, I said THUG!–pushing unwanted, job-killing legislation down the throats of the American people. And THUG is the only word to describe the Democrat Party, which was once bright and cutting-edge, that exists today because of Chief Thug Obama. Chicago-style, baby. Chicago-style and Chicago-thug!

zzzzzzz….yawn……….zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yeah, illegal drugs do tend to have that effect.

Ya right. On your 21% of whatever poll of liberals…I am a registered independent who supports anyone trying to solve real problems rather than people mouthing/posting hypocrital talking points.
I do not support people who think that a person who does not even know why we fought WW1 & WWII is qualified to be Vice-President.

It is a certain sick mentality that underlies the actions of those that continually vote for one party, that belong to any kind of organization, group, cult, etc., who must have an ideology to identify themselves. They usually acquire their prejudices from a parent, a mentor, a friend and never learn to examine or think independently.

TXAR..I saw her too..arrogant is right, no different than Pelosi when she laughed off the question about C-SPAN coverage of healthcare debates..or Reid, “Im moving on” from the Negro remarks..we must face the truth though..we, the people, are like meth addicts who keep going back to the same old spoon and needle…we keep putting these people (R and D) in positions where they feel they can LORD over us..I AM SOO EXCITED by Scott Brown’s candidacy..and I’m looking forward to more fresh new faces!LET”S NEVER FALL BACK into the same old default voting patterns that have caused so much damage.

Well then hear it from a fellow independent, New Wave: It’s not my poll. It’s GALLUP’s poll. Don’t like the results? Tough — it’s what it is. Now of course, if that poll had shown things that YOU like, I’ve no doubt you’d be quick to cite it, yourself.
And remember, it could also be said of YOU that YOU are ‘mouthing/posting hypocrital talking points’ — such as blankedly predicting another Obama win. Exactly how is THAT ‘trying to solve real problems’?
I’m not even sure what you’re talking about with the World War 1/2 matter, which btw has nothing to do with the Massachusetts senate race.

New Wave is Old: Try using another name. Am I really getting to you for you to spin off my post-name? Type to pay up some royalties :)

Scott Brown is good high quality candidate and in a state where they had their heads screwed on properly, he would have no difficulty over Coakley who is a very weak uninspiring appointee.
Without machine politics, Brown would win hands down. I think it is highly insulting to the citizens of Mass that they call this senate seat “kennedy’s seat” It is indeed the people’s seat and perhaps the people will rise and send a loud and clear message about 2010.

“”"”It’s NOT healthcare reform, it’s just an extension of coverage. It does nothing to curb costs. Look at the COB’s track record for estimating costs. There’s no way it’s going to be budget nuetral.”"”"”"
Posted by: mattio
It’s a Government Subsidized Insurance Program and does nothing to lower actual health care costs! You are absolutely correct in your assessment.

Oh Well..imitation is the best form of flatering.
As regards the topic of ‘solvong real problems’, I have not seen any solution to our problems from the GOP. For them is now a matter of being against whatever President Obama wants to do even if it will benefit the people. GOPers can’t even use the term ‘middle-class’.
How else can you explain GOP congress members now taking credit for stimulus-funded projects in their districts? Even Gov. Jindal is having photo-ops with stimulus checks after addressing the nation against the stimulus bill.

Kennedy era over.
Most voters might actually be glad.
Most knew anyone tempting to run against him didn’t have a chance in hell. So why bother to vote for anyone other that Kennedy?
He helped write legistation on health-care and pined for it throughout his tenure, but I think even he’s probably rolling over and over in his grave by the disgusting contemptable way his comrades are trying to push this catasrophy through via deceit and bribery!
Coakley is letting special interests(with lots of money) run her campaign in hopes the tides will turn in her favor. Obama promised to regin in the special intersts, but apparently only when they’re not useful to him.
Let’s make a statement loud and clear all the way to Washington, VOTE SCOTT BROWN!

You know, the most historic tea party was in Boston Massachusetts – it’s about time those blue bloods repay America back for the nightmare that was Teddy Kennedy.

John Kerry’s wife makes more profit on Heinz ketchup than medical insurance companies make. Yes, that is a fact. You can check it out for yourself.

Win or lose, Mr Brown will put the fear of the Almighty into our annointed elites in both parties. Mr Brown has carry all the gasoline to this fire, without the help of the “stupid party”. The GOP still does not have a clue.

vfoley… Martha’s handlers yanked on the leash and she went running back to Washington to pay her respects, receive her orders and collect her fee for services yet to be rendered.

I love how Klein only references the poll from a week ago that shows her up by 15. The Rasmussen poll from yesterday is showing them in a dead heat. So either the Boston Globe is skewed or he oicked up 15 points in a week! This seat does NOT belong to liberals or the Kennedys!! It belongs to the PEOPLE!

I’m a Bostonian, born and bred, and I can’t wait to vote for Scott Brown on Tuesday.
Like 52% of the registered voters in Massachusetts, I’m an independent and not beholden to the ideology of either party. I’m not a Tea Party person nor am I particularly politically active.
I am fascinated by the thought that my vote for Scott Brown could change the health care debate and that I might stand a chance of not having Obamacare rammed down my throat.

As regards the topic of ‘solvong real problems’, I have not seen any solution to our problems from the GOP. For them is now a matter of being against whatever President Obama wants to do even if it will benefit the people. GOPers can’t even use the term ‘middle-class’.
How else can you explain GOP congress members now taking credit for stimulus-funded projects in their districts? Even Gov. Jindal is having photo-ops with stimulus checks after addressing the nation against the stimulus bill.”
____________________________
I’ll agree with you there, New Wave — the GOP has not exactly been offering solutions as a whole. But the thing is, the country has been seeing for nearly a full year now what kind of ‘solutions’ Obama HAS been offering (and his party, really, since ’06 when they gained control of the Congress)…and the country doesn’t like it; the Dems have been flying directly in peoples’ faces for some time now, particularly with this health care thing (not to mention being totally unresponsive to the peoples’ opinions…and even further attacking and name-calling them, for not agreeing with the Dem agenda) — and that’s no way to endear yourself to the populace you need, to stay in power. Hence, you have the GOP pulling ahead almost everywhere nationally (including very possibly in MASSACHUSETTS, of all places)…simply because they’re NOT the Democrats.
As for Gov. Jindal, nothing against him personally but I really don’t care much for him, politically.

Nancy…this is what Ben NElson and Mary Landrieu must have felt like..how does it feel to have your power back? I envy you, and I’m rooting for you.

All you Dem’s (Liberals) seem to forget that Insurances company’s follow the LAWS that the Government enacts and who was in control for most of the last 60 years??? Oh but it was mostly likely the Reps that had control for a few of those years and of course Bush’s fault…

If the Republicans take back the House and Senate, they better actually DO something besides fighting Obama.All they have done for the past year is obstruct. If they win a majority,what will they do legislatively? What’s the plan? I don’t see any. The Republicans haven’t been held accountable for results for at least 10 years running, but they will have to produce if they win big. I wouldn’t make any bets on that score for a long time.

maui..you are soo right.. R, D, I, they better, and if they don’t we will kick them out too. The stakes are too high now..that’s what has changed..every move, every piece of legislation, every decision is impt while this country is crippled as it is. We literally cannot afford anymore mistakes.

I have to laugh. People out their still think the Democrat Party is for the little guy.
Well, your little guy is now ACORN, SEIU, and whatever cleaver name they create for these thugs.
Tell me, what union is successful. The Teachers Union? How about the auto unions?
Shame on all of us who do not think for yourself.
Wake up! The working people of America I say WAKE UP!

SCOTT BROWN WILL WIN.

amtr..you’re turning my mood ring blue. C’mon, David beat Goliath, Obama beat Hillardy, USA beat the USSR in hockey that one year at the olympics, we took on the king and won the revolution..c’mon, think positive!

Obama = “Unprecedented Failure!”
Virginia…New Jersey…Massachusetts?
There might be HOPE after all!

ANY Democrat that may “win” a seat in Tax-achusetts is delusional if they don’t realize that they’d only be a seat-warmer for the NEXT Kennedy in line. That’s exactly how Ted got his seat. Once he passed the age requirement to take his “rightful place” in the royal succession line, from his big brother Jack, The seat-warmer was shown the door. It’s their way.

ALIPAC Endorses Scott Brown for US Senate, Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, January 13, 2010,Illegal immigration, Martha Coakley supports for Amnesty for illegal aliens
————————————–
Above says it all. Like the Democratic Party Player she is Coakley obviously cares nothing about keeping Americans in jobs or safe by stemming illegal immigration.

So, is Obama showing the same leadership with regard to Haiti that he showed after the Ft. Hood and Detroit jihad attacks?
The answer appears to be a firm “Yes.”
“The President issued a statement today lamenting the devastation in Haiti but added quickly in response to speculation that an earthquake had caused so much destruction: ‘Let’s not jump to conclusions.’”

I nice to see the vast majority of the posters here see what the progressive Dem’s are trying to do to us. TAKE YOUR MONEY AND CONTROL OF YOUR LIVES!!!
Then of course their’s Bob, he thinks he’s going to get free health care. Good luck wuth that Bob.

Boston would be such a great place for a tea party LOL. It is time our elected officials HEARD OUR ANGER. Overthrow the government VOTE.
Best sign at the Washington DC Tea Party this year “We left our guns at home, THIS TIME.

Citizens of the State of Massachusetts:
The rest of us are all counting on you to revolutionize this country as your forbears did when they threw tea into Boston harbor a few hundred years ago.
Will you have the courage to think as individuals instead of a big Democratic voting bloc? If elected, Scott Brown will be your representative in halting the destruction of the United States of America that our Founding Fathers so generously gifted us in their sacrifices.
If you can see beyond the label “Republican”, please vote Scott in…so we can preserve our country! You may vote for whomever you want in a few years after he has had a chance to do what he promises….for Massachusetts and the rest of the country. But please, please, please…we need Scott Brown now!
Who I am is a committed citizen (non-white) from another state….who supports the Republican Party and most of its values. My friends and I are not or have never been the right wing nuts…typecasted by so many Liberals.
We just love our country….a lot.

Coakley was in DC fund raising, (obviously NOT in Massachusetts) and then complained about Republican groups out side of Mass. supporting Brown. I guess she’s the only one allowed to get campaign money outside the state! Watch her thugs intimidating a reporter, (see it on you tube) because they didn’t like his question. Unbelievable!

We should rename the US Senate. “The House of Lords” So the Clinton’s, Obama’s and the Kennedy’s can pass their Senate Titles and seats to their heirs….

The Kennedy’s truly believe they are royalty and entitled to political power. Well, their reign is over and, 2010 through 2012, so will the reigns end of the communist Obama and the communist Democrats.

Another republican running against. When are republicans going to start running FOR something?
They all sound like me with the kids in grocery store. Daddy can I have this? no, Daddy can I have that? no.
I am not a child. I want to see my government help someone besides wallstreet. Of course this will never happen as the Democrats and Republicans are owned outright by the financial district.

We’ll see … Brown seems like another Senator Snowe perhaps … but better than an avowed liberal

The author must not be looking at the polls when he says not winnable!

Could you be any more pathetic than to re-elect the same guy for 30+ years and then to refer to the seat as “his”.
Mass citizens are basically told from birth that they “Must” vote Democrat and like good little lemmings they go out and do it year after year. No wonder the system is corrupt and things only get worse.
We get the government we deserve.

It’s so sad to see someone, possibly a descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers (well, okay she just married into WASPness), so completely sell-out her own people in an act of geno-treason like no other.
The US Navy would have done well to blow the Huddled Masses Yearning to Live Free on My Dime out of Boston harbour as their fetid ships arrived.
Whoever would have guessed these human flotsam and jetsam would so quickly degenerate even lower than their steerage class would hint, to the point of outright parasitical existence, sucking the very life blood out of the authentic Americans that pay for everyone else.
When will you rise up, O America? When will you no longer serve as the Beast of Burden for so-called politicians and their Wretched Refuse that see you only as a means to an end, supporting them all in the manner to which they are too long accustomed?
Where are the Sons of Liberty? Where is the militia? Why has not your righteous anger burned white hot and cinderize the parasites and their nests?

Obama, and his crew will realize that they have done more to destroy the
“Democrat” label than the feckless Pubs
ever could. All of the gnashing of teeth
on MSNBCCBSCNN is blowin’ in the wind.
A new gale blows that will knock the
Gucci bumberchutes right out of their
manicured hands. Fineman, Matthews,
Olberman, Maddow, Ed…..the key word
to you storm troopers is PIVOT! Or
forever bloviate your way into oblivion

Here’s the irony — the policy goals of Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer are actually BAD FOR AVERAGE DEMOCRATS — as opposed to the PROFRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS who ride on the backs of ALL taxpayers. The average Democrat, unfortunately, is distracted and mesmerized by the thought of “defeating Republicans” and not focused on “protecting himself from his own Democrat political leaders.” Too bad.

President Obama is on his way to being less popular than GW Bush LOL I love it this president started last jan 20th with a 71% approval rating now its 48% that is almost impossible to achieve I guess thats the change we can believe in
I also love how he has send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan and not 1 democrat has been critical of this move…by the way he is following the Bush doctrine on the war on terror and he campaigned against this.
All the Obama voters are rubes and drank the coolaid look at your paychecks starting this february when the bush tax cuts expire and you take home 10-17% less depending on how much you make…That you can blame the Democrats for not the Republicans
LOL 2010 is the year we take back our country thank god some people have come to their senses except the unions of course but the democrats claim they dont have special interest groups but we all know the unions are the biggest and this healthcare bill they want to pass will ultimately effect union healthcare coverage in a negative way but they remain silent LOL what a bunch of hypocrits you get what you deserve and voted for.

Scott Brown is the “real deal.” He has won the endorsement of the MA State Police Assn. and collected $1.3 Million in a 24 hour period from all across the nation, won the Debate hands down and coined the best sound bite that will go down in history: “With all due respect it is not the Kennedy seat, it is not the Democrats seat, it is the PEOPLES seat.” On top of all that he is a Lt. Col. in the National Guard and knows how to fight terrorism. Go Scott Brown! We are rooting for you from Oregon.

Dee wrote: “For those who think the GOP is against reform, who gave you Medicare supplemental coverage. That was Bush. That’s what seniors are fighting to keep and what Reid Pelosi Obama say we can’t afford. You can’t have it both ways. The future of the U.S. is already being lived in Caleefornia. 25% of our budget goes to pay government workers pension benefits.”
=========================
The CA budget is roughly $100B. The CA government spending on pensions is about $3B. That’s 3%m not 25%.
See: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/BudgetSummary/BSS/BSS.html
You also seem very confused or mislead about Reid and Pelosi on what you call ”
“Medicare Supplemental”.
Medicare Supplemental includes private insurance (mine is BCBS) that picks up where Medicare leaves off.
Bush and the GOP Passed the Medicare Prescription Program, Medicare D. It is also part of supplemental coverage. They also passed it without planning how to pay for it: note that Bush ran up more deficits than ALL of the Presidents before him put together.
Reid and Pelosi are NOT trying to do away with it – they are trying to save it and make it cost less for Seniors.
But, if health costs keep soaring the way they are NOW, it will be impossible for the government to fund Medicare and Prescription coverage at any decent level.

btw: Hope Obama doesn’t have his “Black
Panters” standing outside the voting booths intimidating those who arrive.
Of course, they wouldn’t be charged IF they did show up, but don’t worry they aren’t going inside the booth with you.
If the Crooked Dems can’t ‘stuff the box
like they did with the miraculous votes
that kept showing up for Al Franken in Mi, I’m sure they’ll try another route-
After all, Obama hasn’t passed around all that “Stimulus” money to Acorn or Seiu for Nothing now, has he?
Again, Wise up Voters, and rid our great
country of these “Corrupt Demn Pigs That Have
Fed at the Taxpaying Public Tough For Far TOO LONG”

As a staunch conservative, even I am aghast that Coakley will likely occupy Ted Kennedy’s seat. What is humorous is that even with changing any/every law that suits their cause, the main stream media in their pockets…the dems/libs still cannot accomplish ANYTHING!!!

I guess Rick Klein has to be reminded that it is not the ‘Kennedy’s seat’. It’s the people’s seat.

The left hates us…so much so, they’re in denial.
Deny that the tea party is bigger than astroturf.
Deny that a majority of Americans disapprove of the current healthcare bill.
Deny that Americans are waking up to Al Gore’s polar bear warming scam.
Deny it until you lose elections…then you still will, somehow.

Remember, Coakley has a lot going against her. She was such a do-nothing Attorney General, that she failed to even investigate Chuck Turner & Diane Wilkerson, both caught on tape stuffing cash into their clothes, as well Sal DiMasi & Tom Finneran (now convicted), speakers of the State House up on felonies. The Feds had to go after these people since Coakley wold not even open investigations based on complaints, and people remember that.

David Gergen, debate moderator for the Massachusetts senate race, was clearly trying to help Coakley and doing his best to make Scott Brown look bad. He failed because the people saw through his dishonesty. It shows just how vicious and despicable liberals really are. They will use any means available to demean, smear, and attack anyone who doesn’t agree with their socialist agenda.
 I hope the voters in MA remind Gergen, Coakley, and the liberal elites that it is not Kennedy’s senate seat but it is the peoples’ senate seat

I want to know why my union dues pay for expensive ads promoting Coakley.
My dues are close to two hundred a month and this is what I get?
Massachusetts is friggin corrupt.

CC…you have a short memory the Democrats have had control of the Senate and The House since 2006 so its been 4 years of Democrats with a super majority
LOL I love it when people blame the minority party in power now the Democrats wont even let the Republicans in committee meetings on healthcare that is not what the founding fathers wanted the Democrats hate the Constitution because it restricts them from doing what they want without opposition but that is coming to an end in 2010 Believe that!!

Our Medicare for this new year has just increased by $30 a month and for a couple on a fixed income making less than $50,000 a year, this hurts. I wonder how much more this government health care is going to increase if this bill passes. Remember people, Medicare is the present government healthcare that is being cut by billions. The cost to the elderly goes up and the care is cut. Nice!

What’s losing the race for Coakley is the complete sell out by the Obama administration and the democratic senate of progressive promises. Both left and right hate this NON REFORM health care bill. Obama continues to vote present and fail utterly to lead. Compromise of every principal does none of us any good. It’s going to be a bloodletting for Dems in 2010 if they don’t stop selling out Americans along with the republicans and start making some real changes that benefit Americans instead of their corporate contributors.

Not next Tuesday’s Senate election itself, of course — few observers really think that’s winnable even now, no matter how toxic the environment for Democrats these days.
This just in:Scott Brown won 52-47 on January 19, 2010.
Eat it Rick Klein. You are just another pro Obama, MSM hack trying to game it.
Scott Brown won!!!!!!!!!!
