The Last Time Massachusetts Voters Sent a Republican to the US Senate
EmailThe last time Massachusetts voters elected a Republican to serve in the US Senate was November 1972 when they re-elected Sen. Edward Brooke.
Barack Obama was 11 years old.
Joe Biden, then 29, was elected that same day to his very first term.
It was the year of Rahm Emanuel’s bar mitzvah.
Robert Gibbs was one.
Brooke three years before had been chastised at the Wellesley College commencement by the student body president, Hillary Rodham.

Obama Avoids Questions on Contraception Rule
I don’t think Mr. Brown will have the same working relationship with Barbara Walters that Sen. Brooke had.

Obama’s jokes about pickup trucks ranks right up their with his bitter clingers comment.
The man is completely unconnected and out of touch with the average working class American.
Can’t imagine that Ivy League egghead driving a pickup truck. He might get dirty.

The people’s seat.
Maybe even a few Democrats are tired of the sense of entitlement coming from MA and DC.
Go Scott!!!

Come on Independents.
You put Obama in the White House and now he’s intoxicated with power.
You can take it away today!
It’s time to fix the mistake you made in 2008.

Wanted: Dead or Alive
ACORN and SEIU want you to vote.
But only for the Democrats.
The Dems thought this one was wrapped up so ACORN/SEIU haven’t even had time to cheat.

In the Nov. 2008 election three Black Panthers were charged with voter intimidation outside a polling place in Philadelphia. DOJ won the case when the defendants decided not to bother showing up in court… they must have known that 0bama and Holder would spring them. Sure enough, once Holder took charge, DOJ was ordered to drop the case.
.
Holder has now ignored repeated inquiries from the US Civil Rights Commission and Congress. A detailed timeline has been developed from White House visitor logs showing close coordination (what the lefties will just call “coincidence”) between the White House and DOJ lawyers throughout the entire stonewall.
.
And to make matters even more corrupt Christopher Coates (former chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ has been suddenly relieved of his post and “transferred” to South Carolina. You can find his story on other web sites beside the so-called mainstream media like this one.
.
So, knee-jerk lying you say? Looks more like willful ignorance on your part.
.
2nd try…. looks like anything that shows 0bama in a bad light is a bulls-eye for the ABC censors.
